One Room Challenge: In the Pink


I had lots of fun this week adding color to my kitchen. With the mint green walls and green counters and floors, I decided to add my two favorite colors, pink and blue.

The gallery wall is close to completion. It includes from top to bottom, an elephant and a pagoda from The Pink Pagoda, a favorite Mother's Day card from my daughter, a Marilyn Monroe crayon sketch on a Paul Bocuse recipe from a favorite French artist, a Kate Spade card, an abstract by artist Kerry Steele, a vintage Brunschwig & Fils magazine ad, an Anne Harwell ginger jar print, and a vintage cork painting. The Kate Spade card came in the box with something I ordered. It says: "She is quick and curious and playful and strong."


Yesterday, I had the window treatment installed. It is a roman shade in Quadrille's Paradise Background in Raspberry on Tint. Perfection! It was done for me by Paul Johnson of Paul David Design.

The last two shots are of my counters that I am starting to play around with - you will see them finished next week. The three little Kate Spade posy vases are darling and ideal with my color scheme.

  9. OMG: what will you dream up now that you have caffeine almost on IV drip and that fab curtain over your kitchen window, perilously close together! Love the art wall, particularly the bow-appetite Paul Bocuse menu. (We are old enough to remember the great one!)
