Pink Saturday – Decorating Ideas
Posted by Sandra under Pink Saturday, decorating
It’s Pink Saturday again at Cottage Dreamer! Thanks to Beverly at How Sweet The Sound for once more hosting this fun day of sharing all things Pink!
Well, I went to take a picture of something tonight and the battery in my camera is on empty. By the time I get it charged I’ll be deep in sleep, I hope, so I went searching through my hard drive and came up with a few pictures I’ve saved in my “decorating” folder.
The first two are ideas for my back bathroom, which is just off the master bedroom – which is slowly being changed into my office/dayroom. It’s the only room that gets any real sunlight so I’d love to curl up on the chaise I have in there that’s set right in front of a window. Anyway, when I had my condo remodeled about two years ago I decided to finish the front bath and then wait to finish the other one. So, now I’m thinking that after the Holidays I’m going to finish the remodeling. Right now it’s this wonderful pink – a deep and really bold color. My son actually picked it out and I do like it. I figure in a bathroom you can get a bit wild.
In the first picture below I really like the mirror and would love to find something like it – maybe even something vintage. In the front bathroom I have a pedestal sink very similar to the one in the picture. I was thinking of doing the same in the back bath, but, I do like the idea in the second picture where they took an antique or vintage piece of furniture, painted it white, and put a sink into it. I think with the oval mirror and two wall sconces it would look great. I might even be able to get it done so there was a drawer or two that I could use.


Now, for the living room. I do want a new sofa and am reall torn as to what to get. I love the two sofa/love seats shown below. But then I worry that I’ll get tired of the print and think I’m much better off getting a plain sofa with white slipcovers that I can take off and wash. Then bring in the pink with pillows and a throw or two. Anyway, it’s fun to just daydream about a nice fancy overstuffed sofa that I could just sink into and feel all pampered.


Will let you know what I decide.
Have a wonderful Pink Saturday!

I know what you mean about Spode, I have been collecting that for many years now. I was in Home Goods about a week ago and was so happy to see all the different serving pieces they had in. It was a vision for sure. Thankyou for your lovely post, and happy collecting. Happy Pink Saturday, Char
