Pink Is A Big Girl’s Color!

Remember a little while back when I wrote about finding a new color for my office here?  I loved all the office photos from Pinterest that show the rooms in pretty light blues and greens. I decided Ben Moore Palladian Blue was my color choice until someone from California paints contacted me and asked if I would like to do a color project together!

I love their Timeless Trends 2012-2013 color collection which I wrote about here:

Meanwhile, my friend Andrea Anthony Brooks had her home showcased in At Home in Arkansas and I just fell in love with it!:

Isn’t it beautiful?? Her rooms helped me break out of my box with all the blues in my home and I decided to work with the California Paints Pop Tech palette which includes a beautiful pink Art Deco:

And my accent color will be a deep Spanish blue (of course I have to have a blue!) called Jazz Age:

Thank you Andrea for your inspiration and helping me think out of my blue box. I love all of your color choices and how you brought your traditional décor into the mix to make it a colorful, inviting home with lots of depth and character! Just gorgeous my friend!!

This weekend I am going to follow my own advice and paint a poster board in the color Art Deco to see how it will look in my new office. I will let you know how I make out!

Have you thought of using pink in any of your rooms? Don’t you just love Andrea’s home?!

    Thank you Andrea! I just love your rooms and am so excited to be working with pink! Thanks for the inspiration!

  2. Andrea Brooks says:

    Thanks so much Kelly! My favorite rooms are the ones that don’t take themselves too seriously. It’s when you step out of your comfort zone that you achieve something really special! I have no doubt your office will be amazing–just go for it!! XO Andrea

    go for it Kelly!! I think your color combo will be beautiful and I can’t wait to see the after pictures. Andrea’s home by the way is beyond gorgeous. I could never pull it off in my home but I adore it in hers.

  4. I’ve never been a ‘pink’ girl, but Andrea’s home is really gorgeous. It just goes to show that a colour should never be ruled out entirely. You never know what you might get if you’re open to it!

  5. Pink is just soooo pretty! I’m helping a friend do her master BR, bath and vanity area in a very soft pink, white trim and black & pink accents. We can’t wait to see it completed. They say pink (usually a soft pink)makes almost everyone’s complexion glow. Can’t wait to see what you do with pink Kelly!

    I’m not a lover of the color pink. My garden has a bit (mostly vibrant pink) but there is none in my home.

    While I realize that it is not a color that I would use inside my home, I am very taken by Andrea’s home. The pink she used on her walls is almost ‘ethereal’.

    I love the use of bold pink in the upholstery; it makes the room current and fresh. It also makes the antiques stand out a bit more.

    Yum. Thank you for the beautiful post.
