Hell hath frozen over.

How can you tell? Head on over to Holiday House and see the bun's room. It's pink. PINK. In. My House.

I'm still reeling.

While it made a little girl extremely happy and she demonstrated mad roller skills in the 4 and under category, for me, I feel like Pottery Barn Kids puked in my house. It's partly my own fault, because when her room was green, I was pretty lenient with the buying of pink accessories. I mean, why not, right?

Well, here's why not: 15 shades of pink all going on. So, my mission for the next few weeks is to de-pinkify. How? Here's phase 1:

• replace any and all pink sheets with their green or yellow brethren
• infuse some warmer browns and grays into the room
• put up more art to cover more of the pink
• paint the (pink) play table top

In the end, I hope to end up more in this realm.

Still pink. But, warm and cozy. Ahhhhhh. Stay tuned for pictures and my progress in making a pink room palatable to the over 5 set. I'll share pictures next week, once I'm able to execute at least some of the bullet points above.

What color pink are we talking here? I like the idea of more browns and grays to offset it.

Benjamin Moore Wild Aster. It's pale. It's growing on me. I'll take pictures this weekend....but it is pink. Sigh.

Good luck to you. Pink is an okay color... but too much can be a bit strong to the eyes. Adding some extra color can help spice things up!
