Sugar and spice and everything nice-Pink Frosting

What better way to kick off my new series of Pink Interiors, than with the ultimate pink-loving queen Elle Woods, played by Reese Witherspoon in Legally Blonde.

America fell in love with this color during the 1940s and 1950s.

In 1947, fashion designer Elsa Schiaparelli introduced the color hot pink into western fashion. She dubbed the shade "Shocking Pink", though today the color is more associated as "magenta".

Pink provides feelings of caring, tenderness, self-worth and love, acceptance.

So romantic

Of course leave it to Betsey Johnson...

"1,660-square-foot, two bedroom, one bathroom, open-plan penthouse includes ebonized floors, a view over the rooftops of Greenwich Village all the way to New Jersey, a floating staircase that leads to a 1,000-square-foot private roof deck."

Notice the white Artichoke pendant light shade, designed by Poul Henningsen in the late 50's.
Paint it!

Lovely Flowers

For your feet

Pink is the color of universal love. Pink is a quiet color. Lovers of beauty favor pink. A pink carnation means "I will never forget you".

“Whether the flower or the color is the focus I do not know. I do know the flower is painted large to convey my experience with the flower – and what is my experience if it is not the color?"
