Bold move

Sometimes a bold move is all you need to change things up, to take a space in a new direction.

    hmm love the sentiment of bold, would have to be a slightly more magenta/purple pink to match the other shades in my home! I'm very tempted to go bold with a busy wallpaper pattern, maybe I could paint the furniture a bright colour to match!

    i love the teal window on the pink house. there's no way that the owners are boring people. nope.

    also- this looks like something you may enjoy:

    it may not be entirely cost efficient, but it seems like a pretty darn cool idea to me.

    I lived in New Orleans for three years, and you routinely see pink, turquoise, or bright yellow houses down there. I love, love, love homes in unusual colors; I would totally do it!

    I love when my home stands out from the masses. Luckily most houses is very old and boring where I live so it is very easy. Inside I just love to shake up the rooms with bright colors on single walls and in accesories.

    Bold colors are fantastic! You see colorful homes all around historic neighbourhoods around here and it is so happy - pink, yellow, green, blue, orange, salmon, you name it!

    My parents live in a salmon pink house so this isn't too daring in my mind - guess I'm used to it! Although, that staircase is def. bold

    I don't know about a pink house but that pink sofa is killing me! Especially with the b&w pillows. I want it!

    I love bold colors. I don't know if pink would be my first choice though--bright yellow?? With a mini cooper to match?

    I love the text in this post and wholly agree with the sentiments. It's all about confidence and integrity. You want a pink house. It's nobody else's business - unless you live in Scandinavia or somewhere which regulates the colour of houses. That would be so sad.

    I don't think I would be brave enough to have a pink painted home and my husband would definitely not approve. I would however love to have that pink staircase!

    I could live in a pink house, but only in certain cities or neighborhoods (think island, coastal, or almost anywhere in Florida).

  37. LindseyMay 18, 2009 at 11:52 PM

    Um, I could do THAT pink house, but only in the right city. I could NOT do the staircase...well, if I inherited it, I could learn to love it. Not sure the husband could.

    Lovely blog!
