Why is "pink" so misunderstood?

Hi! my beloved readers,

This post is about a colour that seems to be such a taboo to most people. It seems as though a pink interior is as taboo as a man wearing as pink dress shirt which i'm completly crazy about by the way! My point is: if you love pink, noone should be able to tell you that it is not the right colour for you, or you shouldnt love it because its girly or at worse considered too "gay"!.. i know a lot of straight men who love pink, so go for it.. Both red and pink denote love but while red is hot passion, pink is romantic and charming. Use pink to convey playfulness (hot pink flamingoes) and tenderness (pastel pinks). Multiple shades of pink and light purple or other pastels used together maintain the soft, delicate, and playful nature of pink. Add strength with darker shades of pinks and purple and burgundy.

Shades of Pink: These words are synonymous with pink or represent various shades of the color pink: blush, coral, flesh, flush, fuchsia, hot pink, magenta (see fuchsia), raspberry, rose, salmon.

Here are a few images to illustrate this post...
Enjoy!
XO

Joyeux Noel and Bonne annee a tous!

Dear readers, I just realized that i may not have time to write into my blog till next year since i'm off to PEI on the 26th and coming back on the 1st. I'm planning on helping my mom revamp her home, and help out her beloved friend Myrna with choosing a paint scheme for her home. I must admit I'm truly addicted to blogging, and reading other people's blogs. There is no better media to pour your heart and soul into than this one. So here are some randoms photos that I have collected over the last few months of some of my favourite interiors, vignettes, colour compositions.... have yourselves a safe and wonderful Christmas. Dont forget to give to others, and do at least one good deed during this holiday season. Love u all to bits:) XOXO

Highly unusual, mesh stairs!

I love the wall adjacent to the mini bar! Simple DIY at home.

I love all the repetition of patterns, which makes an interior successful, and harmonious.

It reminds me of the Jesus Crown on Thorns like everyone who has seen it I'm sure. I like to bring religion elements as an artform into a home. Its very unexpected.We are used to seeing the Cross but thats it! I'm not particularly religious, but like that element because it symbolizes time, faith, and fidelity!

Not a huge fan of camping, I was thinking maybe this year I could bring in the outdoors indoors. Fabulous creations though!!
