Pretty In Pink

While I tend to decorate with lots of blues (hello! I have 4 boys), few colors make me as happy as pink.

Vibrant or pale, pink coordinates beautifully with lots of different colors.

This kitchen is lovely, but the pop of pink on the barstools really makes it sing...

While pink may seem juvenile and better suited to a little girl's room, the right hue can be quite elegant when mixed with gold, or black & white, or blue & white.

Pink is also right at home in boho chic settings.

When used correctly, pink won't make your room resemble a bottle of Pepto Bismol. Small doses of pink in pillows, rugs, art, accessories, flowers and furnishings add sophistication and drama. Let's take a look at some pinks that are done right.

I've used pops of pink throughout my house in the living room, family room, and mudroom.

But I'm getting ready to use pink in a pretty big way in our dining room. Hint: it involves silk. I'm ordering the fabric tomorrow to take advantage of the Calico Corners' 20% off sale. I'll show you next time what I've got up my sleeve :)

How do you feel about pink? Love it, hate it? Tickled pink by it?
