Pink Kitchens

How Do You Feel About Them?
I think they can look pretty snazzy, like this one.
This is a very modern take on what used to be the rage in kitchens back in the 1950's.
This is a photo is of pink metal cabinets which were state of the art in the 50's.
My Aunt Jane had a pink kitchen much like the one above except her's was pristine.
As a kid, I thought it pretty cool.
I couldn't understand why she hated it.
She'd inherited it when they bought their old house.
How about this one? I have to say I love that old buffet as an island.
This kitchen is a confection. Literally, it looks like an iced cupcake.
all girly and feminine
This one is small but nice. The wood floors keeps it grounded.
Lots of retro pink here
And this is Dita's pink kitchen.
It comes complete with lady head vases and dachshunds.
A very shabby one with retro pink stove.
Over the top french glamour with pink touches.
How about just a touch of pink...such as stove only.
Or just a fridge.
I think this is pretty fabulous with all the art and the pink walls.
I kind of really love this one with the pink fridge, industrial loft elements, chandelier 
and pink velvet sofa.

Would you ever do pink in the kitchen?
I used to have pink accents such as mixing bowls and lots of pink handled
kitchen tools. But it's all put away now for black, white and silver.
Still I love it, I think because my Aunt Jane had those pink metal cabinets when I was a kid.

Dita Von Teese

The Showgirl Next Door
The February issue of In Style Magazine had this glamorous article about 
Dita Von Teese in her 1946 Los Angeles home.
(notice one of her dachshunds in this shot)
The only room missing here that I really wanted to see?
Her bathroom, of course.
