pink pick-me-up

i find myself needing a little pick-me-up this morning and it seems that a shot of pink is just the trick. i fell in love with this space by ames ingham when i spotted it on fallon's beautiful blog a lovely being — we've seen so many spaces with a pop of pink in flowers or pillows but i love the risk the designer took with pink paint on the walls. doesn't it look fabulous? it's definitely not for everyone but i think i would feel right at home.
i love the french doors and the lucite coffee table.
aren't the chairs amazing? i love how nicely the art above the fireplace complements the throw pillows on the couch.
what do you think? boyfriends and husbands aside, could you handle a pink room?

Your pink pick me up has worked well - it's travelled the pond and picked me up all the way over here in the UK! Lovely rooms.

I loved this room at first site as well, my poor eyeballs have been denied their dose of pink for FAR too long!

For a girl who is not a "pink girl" this room has a certain appeal! The open feel would make it livable for me! Go pink : )

I never would have expected to like pink paint but I love this room! Gorgeous!! I would feel quite happy in there.

I'm not much of a pink lady, but I could handle pink accents :)

yea pink isn't my thing, but I like that this space isn't overly girly. The natural rug, and more masculine chairs and sofa make it a real neat space. All that light doesn't hurt too!

Have you started your fabulous internship yet??

I love it! I personally would never do it in my house, maybe in a closet though...we'll see :)

Not a pink room, but maybe as an accent wall?

shopgirl said...

i don't have much pink in our home. i definitely would love to add more, however, my husband might have a heart attack. :-))

Such a lovely room. I think if I were single I would definitely go for a pink room! xo

these pink rooms are so lovely -- could be forever happy surrounded by pink, i should think . . .

{p.s.} also following up -- had sent along an e-mail to this address:
mhoran@optonline.net

and just wanted to be certain you received it?

My husband would never agree to this! It would be nice to have several rooms in different colours and styles - you could choose which room to spend your day in, depending on your mood!!!

Lovely! Just what I needed too!

Oh, I LOVE it! I would have no problem at all here, and my husband would be fine with it, too (he's totally laid back, lol!)

I LOVE pink rooms and had them my whole life until recently because boys just can't handle it... gosh I miss a pink wall! In my opinion there is not a better and happier color than pink...

this free bird said...

i actually really like this. the pink is really refreshing and i think i'd try it. the furniture and accents really make it all work together.

if you lived by me i would totally hire you to come over and throw some ideas around my place. you've got a great eye for spotting things.

seesaw designs said...

Pretty!!
I just commented on your other blog regarding Paris. If you could help me with things to do/see/eat in Paris that would be super helpful! Thanks :)

Sweet Southern Prep said...

So so pretty! Yes, I'd feel at home, just don't know about the husband. Haha. Maybe in a nice, walk-in closet?

Ya how pretty i am in love with pink..

Averill said...

YES! I'd love a pink room -- especially in an unexpected room like a living room. I've been dying for one ever since I saw Windsor Smith's pink living room in House Beautiful last year...

Jen said...

I sure could!! What other color (ok, besides yellow) can pick you up like pink does?? Love it!

lu said...

i love the idea of a pink room--i actually want pink damask wallpaper!! but what im liking even more about these photos is that lucite coffee table!

Jessica @ Lavender and Lilies said...

paula said...

Teresa said...

I absolutely love this! I love pink! :)

audrey marie said...

haha before I read your caption under the pictures, I was thinking to myself..."only reason i wish i didn't live with my husband is that he would never go for a pink room"...told my daughter (21,college senior) today she should use pink while she was young girly and single...LOVE PINK! I think I'm going to sneak it into my dining room!

Full House said...

I'd do pink in a heartbeat.

I love those orange pillows on the sofa.

Josie said...

I really like this room, although the pink may be just a bit much for my taste. I love the white furniture and orange pillows, though!
Thank you so much for stopping by my blog and for your sweet comment! Yours is darling; I can't wait for more!
