In the Pink...

Oh yeah, these spaces are so feminine, pink, and delicious they can only be called pink-a-licious!  These rooms are glam from the get go.  Whether  your favorite  shade is a soft, and not-so-innocent, baby pink; or an outrageously wild and in-your-face party till you drop raspberry,  embrace the inner girly-girl inside you who still loves everything pink!

Pink is just so darned pretty and there is a perfect shade for everyone- whether it's a pale peachy-pink or hot pink, or any hue in between. So go ahead and release your inner pink-a-nista.  Place some beautiful pink peonies or roses in a vase, paint your front door coral pink, add petal pink towels to that all white bath.  Tint the frosting for those chocolate cupcakes a pale pink - even the boys will like them with some chocolate sprinkles.

I'm loving these fancy-pants Baroque chairs in the pink leather, but then that sweet striped confection of a wall is over-the-top scrumptious!  Reminds me of a candy store or bakery. I think I'm craving candy! :)

Up in northern Maine, on Swan Island, artisans use natural dyes and still weave their organic  yarns on handlooms to create dreamy blankets like this pink gingham beauty.   So pretty, who needs a bedspread?

Deep raspberry pink with pale green is always a perfect palette.

Peony Power

It is that amazing time of year when New England gardens are scented by the beautiful perfume of peonies.  Just a faint whiff of it's heavenly scent carried on the breeze makes my heart beat with joy. If only they would last all summer long! 

 I had to bring some of this perfumed gorgeousness inside to make me smile...when I walk by my kitchen table (left) or kitchen shelves (right)

Sorry, if I got carried away here, but I am smitten with the way the pink looks against the chalkboard paint behind the shelves and all the white dishes!

Must have flowers next to the kitchen sink...

 and on the little desk in the kitchen..

In the half bath off the kitchen...

And in the bedroom too

Lesson learned: Never underestimate the power of a fragrant pink peony to brighten your day!!  

Our own sweet little pink peony:  Nola

There isn't anything more beautiful than a sleeping baby!

Have a great day!

xoxo,

Millie
