I remember when we bought our first house in the 90s, I painted the living room/dining room walls in the most luscious shade of pink (similar to pic #2). Some would call it peony, others made jokes about bubble gum but I loved it. Over the years my tastes have changed and our walls have neutralized but seeing all the pink walls everywhere again, I can't help but think back to ours and how cheerful they felt.
Will you be embracing the honeysuckle pink colour of the year? Or will pink walls remain a thing of the past?
Happy Valentine's Day everyone! xo

Lovely images Lisa. When I get my Florida house, I am SO going to do a pink room...............
ReplyDeleteI don't know that I will paint my walls pink, but I sure do love it, Lisa! Happy V Day!
ReplyDeleteWell I won't be painting any walls, mine are all white and I like it but I will probably be incorporating it into my spring summer wardrobe a bit. I think of pink as almost a neutral - it really does go with everything and everyone looks good with a soft pink light :)
ReplyDeleteYou must have ESP, because I just went to the paint store yesterday to pick out pink swatches for our guest room. I've inherited French provincial furniture in an ivory/gold finish, and I thought pink might complement it nicely. Also, because I have 4 boys, I don't get to decorate too many girlie rooms.
ReplyDeleteI'd love to hear if anyone has any favorite shades of pink. I could go either very pale (not bubblegum), or more to a coral shade. I like the one above in the dining room with the linen/ivory chairs.
Thanks for the encouragement to "go for the pink!"
Such a perfect post for Valentine's Day. Love these pink rooms!

Such pretty pink walls. I don't think I have a place for them in my house but they are really nice!
ReplyDeleteCheery indeed!
ReplyDeleteI really like the salmon pink in the bathroom. Has a bit of an orange undertone.
Hope you're having a great day!
Such inspiration and such beauty in each one of these rooms! Xoxoxo 1942charm.blogspot.com
ReplyDeleteI painted a room pink once, for my second child that was supposed to be a girl, but SURPRISE it was a boy -- so the pink came down pretty fast. I love all of these pictures, it makes me want another pink room -- BEAUTIFUL!!!
ReplyDeleteI hope you had a wonderful day!
Well perhaps not embracing, but having a little fun with it I think. I love image #5, of the pink bathroom ~ very intriguing room.
ReplyDeleteI think Honeysuckle is going to get picked up more as an accessories colour than as a wall colour ~ it is certainly appearing in a lot of marketing and packaging material.
Terrific selections!
I love all the pink.
ReplyDeleteLoving pink walls right now! I am trying to figure out a way to get some in the new house....a very light grayed out version.
ReplyDeleteI love the room with the white settee and the horns (on cabinet)! so pretty!
ReplyDeletePerfect collection of pinks.
I just couldn't do it! But it does amaze me how well others do. It's not the easiest colour to get right and these images are beautiful. Rachaelxx
