Parisian Pink with Sanity Fair

Image
I've got Skyla, from Sanity Fair , here for the last day of my 31 Days of Pink Series.   Skyla's incredible apartment was just featured in The Washington Post .  You can read all about her and see photos here . I just had to blush a bright pink when The Pink Pagoda asked me to do this post! How could I say no? When Jennifer began this series, I immediately recalled Audrey Hepburn and Fred Astaire in Funny Face, that giddy, bubbly, and very pink classic film from 1957. Funny Face is mostly set in Paris, and features the best song ever written about a color:  Think Pink! "Red is dead, blue is through/ Green's obscene, brown's taboo/ And there is not the slightest excuse for plum or puce - or chartreuse." "Everything on the great horizon/ Everything that you can think / And that includes the kitchen sink/ Think Pink!" Audrey Hepburn in Funny Face, "thinking pink."The wardrobe for Ms. Hepburn was designed exclusively for the film

Happy Halloween

Two of my favorite blogging ladies sent me these yesterday. Beth, from Chinoiserie Chic , sent this darling pink unicorn pug from this fun blog post about pink pumpkins. And Raina, from If the Lampshade Fits , knew I'd love the pink and blue of these adorable Halloween cookies.  See all about how to create them  here .

Blue and White Monday with Amanda Nisbet

I'm loving my new Amanda Nisbet design book, Dazzling Design .  Here are some gorgeous rooms from the book where Amanda uses blue and white beautifully.   I hope your week is off to a good start.  If you're in the Sandy vicinity, be safe!  

Pink Upholstery -- Would You?

Image
via Stylebeat I would.  And I think I will.  I have all the doors closed to our living room because it just drives me crazy.  Since we've lived in this house (almost five years) I haven't done anything with that room.  It will be expensive, and I've lacked the confidence to tackle a more formal room.  I'm thinking a bit of pink upholstery may be the way to go there.  Maybe just a sofa. Phoebe Howard Lynn Morgan Designs via Bright Bazaar Harriet Anstruther New England Home Anna Spiro via Pursuit of Style Suellen Gregory via Splendid Sass This is the rug I have in the living room.  Do you think pink upholstery would work well?  Would you ever consider pink upholstery? Go here to see more of my 31 Days of Pink series. Happy Friday!

Pink for the Table with Calling it Home

My good friend Linda, from Calling it Home , who is unbelievably talented and generous (see how she bailed me out on Paint a Rug Party here ) is here today sharing breathtaking florals. Hello Pink Pagoda readers. I'm Linda from Calling it Home  and was thrilled when Jennifer asked me to help contribute to her 31 Days of Pink. I chose pink centerpieces because I love gardening and flowers. Most of the flowers you see here can easily be grown in your own garden....zone permitting. Wedding Chicks Source Source Martha Stewart Weddings Source Southern Living Martha Stewart Thanks having me over, Jennifer. I am enjoying your pink series and was glad to be a part of it. Cheers! Linda Linda, you are so welcome!  Thank YOU for sharing these beautiful images with us today!  To see more about Linda's talent (crazy DIY and gardening skills) visit her here .

Pink with The Little Black Door

Elizabeth's here today from Little Black Door sharing some amazing pink.  If you don't know Elizabeth, you should get to know her.  She has incredible energy and such a great eye.  She just participated in the Paint a Rug Party and created the most gorgeous navy and white Chinese Chippendale pattern rug .  I'm so happy to have her here today. I've been so inspired by Jennifer's daily dose of pink , that it got me thinking. I am loving pink in fabrics and on the walls, but what about in furniture? Anna Spiro Kiki's List Oomph Anna Spiro Natty by Design High Gloss Magazine Celerie Kemble Lilly Pulitzer Yep. I've been inspired. And now I've got my own of piece of pink. Thanks for the inspiration Jennifer! Thank you, Elizabeth, for being here today AND for using my print above your fantastic new chest!   To see more of the great things Elizabeth does, visit her at The Little Black Door .

Pink with Sherry Hart of Design Indulgence

You know when you have Sherry, of Design Indulgence , it's going to be fun.  I love the combination of hilarity and eye candy I always get every time I visit her amazing blog .  I asked her to share some pink, and you are in for quite a treat!  She's sharing some of the most gorgeous pink rooms I've seen. 31 Days of Pink is a tall order!  Not to say that I could not find pink rooms that I adore but I wanted to make sure they had not been posted during the challenge. Now I am sure that Jennifer has seen these images because she is a "pink loving fool"....but just maybe there are a few that might be new to you......nah.....I highly doubt it. BUT......here are some of my favorites and why. Designer: Joe Nye I love this Manuel Canovas [pillows] fabric.  Always have.  I also think the abstract art makes this room and the fact that the pink is nice and bright.   Designer: Windsor Smith Who hasn't seen this room.....It was on the cover o
