decor: pretty in pink

There was once a time when pink was probably the most un-hip colour in the world. Many boasted they’d never be caught dead in pink and a man wearing pink — utterly unheard of! And as for decor, pink was reserved for cutesy nurseries or young girls’ bedrooms. Beyond that, the colour was shunned. These days, it’s hard to imagine a colour that can’t work in a space, if handled with care, of course. With the right room and the right accessories, any colour can find its place in your home. And besides, isn’t the most important thing that you like it? That should always be your starting point.

My decor style is a bit shabby chic with a bit of modern sensibility. My furniture pieces are snow white and almost all of my decorative accents are pink - lamps, vases, picture frames, pillows, rugs, you get my drift. Pink is such a happy, beautiful color. Oh, I must mention I’m a single gal. Not sure if a guy would go for it but I do love a guy who’s secure enough to wear my favorite color. It always brings a smile to my face.
