Pink Chairs

For Valentines?

 via

I'm working on a project that involved me looking up lots of different sorts of chairs online.

In honor of fastly approaching Valentine's Day...here are some scrumptious pink chairs.

That bathroom above is like a wedding cake with pink accents, isn't it?

I love everything about it from the marble to the white cabinets, the fixtures, the roses and the chair.

I'm not usually one for black furniture but the accents of pink make this really work for me.

By the way...I picked up my marble for my kitchen island and it is perfect!

My island is currently white but a different shade of white than my cabinets.

I'm thinking I should paint the island....black was the first color I thought of...but

I'm not really a black furniture person.

But put a big splash of pink on it and I am.

We'll discuss the island in the near future.

Oh...a little mid century modern...please...yes!

These bumble gum pink chairs with the tulip table just send me.

If you've read this blog for awhile...you'll know I want a Saarinen tulip table in my dining room.

I've been looking for a used one...but

I can get a new one from IKEA for $199

But then, you know I have a lovely dining room table already 

so this is never going to happen unless I find one for like $50. 

Ok, back to the pink chairs.

Love the shape of this beauty and the pink velvet.

I love lots in this image. First the room! Can you believe that room with all the chippy

turquoise paint? The dress is a little polyester looking to me but it's a nice color.

But what I really want to point out is how that chair is all tied up. Really love that.

Oh...and I love this girl's hair. I'm sure this photo came from a bridal site.

And finally, this is the way to makeover a little bentwood chair.

Hot Pink!

This is just a precious little desk for a young girl.

Hey, I'd like it for this old girl.

Ok, I'm going back to my project.

I hope to share it soon. 

I told myself I'd work all day and night tonight on it.

No rest for the wicked!

Oh...two more things - my sweet talented friend, Valorie aka The Visual Vamp lost her precious 

Alberto suddenly two days ago.

I'm heartbroken for her.
I loved reading about her and Alberto's life in New Orleans where they both taught Tango lessons
and celebrated life each day together.

Alberto had a long running heart condition but his sudden death was not expected.

I've been thinking of her a lot ever since learning of his death.

Valorie is going to need all our support to keep going.
She's a dynamo but this will be a huge set back for her.

One more bit of sad news...

Ricki Jill of the blog Art @ Home suddenly lost her Bonnie Blue last weekend.

Little Bonnie Blue

She wrote me shortly after it happened wanting my words of wisdom since I have
been through the sudden death of a dog at an early age.

I'm afraid I didn't have any words of wisdom just words of
understanding having been there.

Same for Valorie...

I have cried and cried for both of these women the last few days.

I hurt so much for both of these women because I've been there in that dark place they are in now
and it's not a place I want to go back to.

And yet, we all will in our lives over and over...the trick is to rise up out of the pit
and live again.

I know it helped me so much to know I had friends all over the world that cared about me
during the bad times and I want both of these women to know how much I care about them now.

If you know them...go by and leave some words of comfort.

Thank you...
