The Pink Room

I’m really trying to be more “mature” as I decorate my new apartment. What does this mean? Well, for one all that cutesy wootsy girly stuff is going  to my Mom’s house out the window, and as I said before, I’m trying a more clean and simple approach starting with the color of the walls. I just painted my bedroom a greyish blue (photos coming soon) and am now contemplating what colors to paint the living room, kitchen, and bathroom. But as I try my darndest to stick to neutral colors,  I can’t help but want a pink room. Many of you may think this is totally bonkers for me seeing as how I generally reject pink as a color, but truth be told I had a pepto bismol colored room for the better part of my childhood and the bedroom in my last apartment was pink as well.

I recognize that a pink room is not a celebrated color choice for a boyfriend, which is why I ruled it out for the bedroom; but what about a hot pink bathroom? A salmon pink living room? Pink kitchen cabinets like the photo above? No? I’m putting my foot down somewhere – mark my words there will be something pink in my apartment – and until I make the painted commitment, here’s some inspiration to help the flamingo color sneak its way into my new home.
