Pink

Elle Decor


Please say it ain’t so! Time is questioning whether or not the color pink exists?!? “Pink, the color, is just the wishful thinking of our brain blending the red and violet wavelengths together to create the color of many little girls’ birthday parties.” Bummer. Well, in a house full of boys and definitely no let’s-see-if-we-can-have-a-girl baby #4, all the rooms in the house are neutral with a splash of bold accents. Let’s see, I threw some pink Japanese pillows in the sun room and I have a pink table runner in my dining room. The boy’s bathroom is an unfortunate 70’s pink design (pink bathtub, pink toilet…!) that I decorated in a monkey theme with browns and greens… One day, I hope to have a room just for myself; no soccer balls, no cars, no blues! Maybe a pink walk-in closet? A pink sitting room? Ooooh, a pink office!!! I found these beautiful pictures for inspiration today.

I’m a girly-girl, feminine and I love pink! I also embrace the masculinity around here but I will get more creative. Whether pink exists or not, even in a house full of boys, I will make it work for us. Have you decorated a room other than a girl’s bedroom in pink? Please share!

As always, we can not host a birthday party around here without a specified theme. Diego insisted on a Space theme this year (I wanted Asian/Martial Arts theme but it was not my party as Jose reminded me). [Read more…]
