I've been posting this little image for a few days now, but I'm really excited to spill it!
A few weeks ago Suzy and I were chatting over cocktails email about incorporating color in our lives. We've all seen these challenges about actually trying a project you've "pinned" or improving your home on a budget {both challenges I am all for, by the way}, but what about one that makes you step out of your comfort zone.
The thought was, "What if we had a group of bloggers each pick a color they've been dying to infuse in their own home, but have been too afraid to pull the trigger. Then they have to use it three different ways in their home; decor, paint, & fabric."
Fun right?!
So for the next 5 Tuesdays I'll be get'n brave and bringing in my new color. Also, Suzy & I invited some pretty talented bloggers, and we couldn't be happier about everybody that has decided to take part!
Oh, you want to know what color I chose?

I know, I know, but just hear me out!
I knew I had some pictures pinned of rooms with pink, but I had no idea how many. Honestly, I thought I would have to pull from a couple of different boards, but I was kind of shocked how much I have pinned pink & navy rooms on my Living Room board.
I always thought pink was ultra girly and more for a young girl, not a family room. Not for a room where the man of the house spends just as much time as the woman, but maybe for a woman's office. In the past few months I have become completely and utterly obsessed with the color blush/vintage pink and how amazing it works for everyday spaces {not just my make-believe bachelorette pad}.
For those of you that made it to the end of this unbelievable long post you're in for a treat!
Here is a list of everybody in the challenge. Check out there blogs and the awesome colors each lady chose! Also, The final week will be a wrap up and a HUGE blog hop where you can link up a post showing how YOU added a new {challenging} color to your home, too! I really hope some of you will take the challenge and link up on May 1st. Mark your calendar!

Jessamie, I love your inspiration images! I have been craving a little pink in my world and can't wait to see how you bring it into your home!
ReplyDeleteso fun! i love the more blush tones of your pink- love that shade with gold!
ReplyDeleteI absolutely adore your inspiration photos, and I can't wait to see what you do!!! Thanks for having me be a part of this fun challenge!
ReplyDeleteI think that you can have pink and still be gender neutral! I love the pic of the pink window panels... seriously one of my fav inspiration photos!
ReplyDeleteSo that pink couch in the last picture is kind of amazing. I love pink and I'd love to add it to my house in some unexpected way, so I can't wait to see what you come up with!
ReplyDeleteI seriously love your inspiration photos! It's funny how you found that you had a lot more inspiration photos with pink than you thought! I never was one to like pink all that much even as a little girl, but in the last few years I've found myself drawn to it! And you're right, there's so many ways to use it in a grown-up and gender neutral way! Can't wait to see what you do!
ReplyDeleteGreat inspiration pics! I love pink and thought about even choosing it, but the hubby was not a fan. So, I'll stick to just using it in the craft room. Can't wait to see what you do!
ReplyDeleteThanks for dreaming up this little challenge girl! Your living room is going to look amazing!!! I want that second living room you pictured. It looks so inviting and comfortable. Oh, and that art? Amazing!
ReplyDeleteI love all your inspiration pictures, and the color pink. What shade are you doing? I noticed that most of the pictures were an almost peachy or coral-y pink. Can't wait to see what and where you infuse pink.
ReplyDeleteYou know I'm down for more *pink*! (c: I can't believe I'm not in on the challenge! I definitely need to get it together by May 1st!
ReplyDeleteThe pink sofa in the third picture is to die for. Strong lines meets feminine shade. Love! I also noticed that you pulled lots of coral, shell, and peach shades. Is that the color tone you are going for?
ReplyDeleteagreed, pink is a fantastic color. I'm sure it will look fabulous!
ReplyDeleteyay! LOVE the pink! can't wait to see how you incorporate it in your home over the next few weeks!! love the pink sofas in your inspiration pics... you could totally pull that off, i have no doubt.
ReplyDeleteOh wow, love love love your inspiration pics! I'm a big lover of navy and paired with pink it's even better! I am excited to see what you come up with for your living room and also what your man says about this. ;) Thanks for asking me to join in on this great idea, I'm so honored to be a part of this!
ReplyDeleteThis shade of pink is sure to look amazing. It pairs well with so man masculine colors if you choose to go in that direction. Either way, I look forward to seeing what you do.
