Pink is not one of those colors I decorate with. Wear, yes, decorate with, not so much. However, around holidays like Valentine’s Day and Christmas I love to use it in splashes. The generally accepted rule is pink for the boys, and blue for the girls. Okay I get that rule but times have changed. You rarely see a boy wearing pink but you will see a lot of men wearing pink and my husband is one of them. Pink can be masculine. Combining pink with other darker colors such as dark blue, dark green, black or gray, adds strength and sophistication to pink. Growing up we had the quintessential “pink” bathroom. I knew girl’s that had the “all pink” bedroom and I even had a teacher in elementary school that not only wore pink every day but also owned a pink 65' Ford Mustang! Okay it was the sixties! Pink has and always will be a favorite in decorating but is has taken a step out of the girl’s bedrooms, nurseries and bathrooms and taken a step up into our living rooms, dining rooms and entries! Pink accents add that pop of color that is not only energizing but unexpected. So many variations of the color can be seen in home décor. Take a look at the pics below to hmmm get a bit Tickled, Pink that is ~........by the way......Happy Valentine's!
thanks for taking a peek ~
