Turning Up The Volume, Just Right
Don't you love going through old magazines? The other day I pulled out the October 2007 House Beautiful to look at one of my favorite rooms. Then I stumbled across an article on Joe Nye called "Turning Up The Volume". Lately I have been in a feminine decorating mood and completely smitten with bursts of pink. These images sum up my current mood well...

It's so funny you ask that..right now I am in the midst of my living room redo.. I'm sure you've seen the post w/the blue/yellow color scheme and the blue and white china plates.... well, it seemed so boring..too put together.. SO I have been slowly adding pops of pink and I LOVE it! Today I plan on selecting a fabric for my throw pillows... and it will be pink :) I think I will post some samples actually.. :) but yes.. pink = love :)
ReplyDeleteI am definitely smitten with Pink. I think it's a cheery color that always brightens a room.
ReplyDeleteI'm extremely drawn to it these days. So much so, in fact, that we're in the middle of doing a little "freshening up" of our living & dining areas we're using pink as a main color (it will be paired with orange) in our dining room. It's a relatively small space and I'm really excited about the fun shot of color it will soon have!
ReplyDeleteLOVE! I want that bedroom in the top photo. We're re-decorating ours right now and the pops of color and white bamboo chair are perfectp.
ReplyDeleteI love using pink as an accent color...the pink of peonies or geraniums. A velvet pink ottoman or pink pillows is nice, and accenting with it is a great way to incorporate it into a space.
ReplyDeleteI love pink and I think it gets a bad rap sometimes. I am crazy about that last photo with the blue fabric on the sofa with the pink print pillows. What a great painting above the sofa!
ReplyDeleteThese rooms are totally turned up!
ReplyDeleteHmm.. pink. I do love those photos.. but I honestly have never considered it!!
ReplyDeleteoh, i remember seeing this on apartment therapy! i just adore.
ReplyDeleteOk, pretty soon we're going to have to stop repeating that we are twinkies* but I have seriously been thinking about how much I love pink lately. Crazy! And better yet: pink and gray.
ReplyDeleteYou heard me.

I love pops of pink! I think it's such a sweet color that it can be overpowering if you don't balance it, but there is nothing I love more than seeing a little pop of pink or fuschia in a room!
ReplyDeletebeen loving pink lately too- my zinnias are going crazy so it's been fun bringing them inside!
ReplyDeletexoxo
Love everything about the 2nd pix! The pink chair...Lovely!
ReplyDeleteI completely agree with you. I'm loving all the hints of pink everywhere.
ReplyDeleteI totally love all the pink. The accents totally make the room pop!

Oh I adore pink--whether bright or soft I think it just add such a fun flair to a space!
ReplyDeleteFinishing a house right now that's charcoal and white with little bursts of hot pink in unexpected places
ReplyDeleteThat first bedroom is absolutely gorgeous. I do love going through old design magazines. I wish I hadn't been so ruthless with my last purge! I'm going to hold onto all of them from now on - even if I have no room whatsoever!
ReplyDeleteYou red my design mind. I have never, & I mean never, been a pink girl. Didn't even like putting it on my girls. But all of a sudden I dream of decorating with it, especially after the July 09 issue of House Beautiful.
ReplyDeleteI did the very same thing this wkend & unleashed all my old magazines. Made me realize more than ever the huge void that is no longer filled by the demise of so many favorites.
I tend to be drawn to more masculine furniture and pieces, so adding pink is a great way to balance everything out! And I LOVE when my husband wears pink shirts...is that odd?
ReplyDeleteYea, not for me. Hate pink, think it is totally over-done. If I could ever figure out photoshop, I will be turning that pink hydrangea picture to white :) How ironic it's pink!
ReplyDeleteXOXO-
I'm a pink fan definitely. I think I will be forever. Those rooms inspire me and make me wish for splashes of pink in my future home.
ReplyDeletepink and i are casual friends really but i do love those toss pillow in the last photo.
ReplyDeleteI LOVE pink- I wish the BF would let me use more of it.
ReplyDeleteI forgot about these images, I love them all over again- thanks for the pretty eye candy :)
Just found your blog, so happy I did. The splash of pink in each picture is great. I am finding that I am using it myself as well.
