Edit
Things are pretty good over here.... minus the SUPER windy weather! My Goodness! Anyway, I haven't been out of the house today except to walk my dogs...I feel a bit housebound! When I'm at home & start to feel BORED I begin to imagine what kind of projects I could tackle. Whether it's design related or not....it's a strange form of inspiration... boredom....ever FEEL that feeling!? Inspired out of boredom?! I know I do.
Well, today I started thinking of the color pink & how it's inspired me throughout my own life. Ever since I was a little girl, Pink was was one of my favorite colors. These days I gravitate toward this color in all different shades from coral to magenta. In fact, most of the paintings from my upcoming Cocoa & Hearts shop include different variations of pinks!
How do you feel about the color PINK? Is it in your top favorite colors?

I am absolutely, 100% a pink girl -- Looove this list of items you've put together!
ReplyDeleteI love pink. It's so girly. I love it in my interior as well, but I have to hold back a lttle since there are two girls in the house and three boys. My daughter loves it too. She loves any clothes as long as it is pink.

hi Jen! I read your blog every day and I love it, you don't know but you push me to create my own blog too. I love design and I've been working on it since a couple of years. If you have a second look at it...www.quebonitolotuyo.blogspot.com, I send you my best wishes!!
ReplyDeleteEstela.
I love it! Nothing better than a pretty pink scarf.. natural blush for your cheeks! I use it sparingly in my home but it's a great accent color:)
ReplyDeleteThat pink ikat pillow is TO DIE FOR! Love your round up!
ReplyDeleteThat pink painting is so cute! I am currently indulging myself in pink for one of my daughter's room!
ReplyDeleteI've never really 'loved' pink, but I do think it looks great in a room :-)
ReplyDeleteJen...so true...boredom = creative release...and do you know that I never really got into the colour pink or had a true appreciation for it..until I started blogging..as pink was blogged about EVERYWHERE in EVERY WAY ! lol
ReplyDeleteIn color psychology, The Color Pink Represents:
Unconditional love: Pink relates to both unconditional love and romantic love.
Compassion: Empathy and understanding are the fuel for pink's nurturing.
Nurturing: Pink is both the giving and the receiving of love, understanding and respect.
Hope: Pink inspires the possibility of a positive outcome.
Pretty interesting dont you think?
makes alot of sense as to why we tend to gravitate towards certain colours at certain stages in our lives..more than others..and why it changes throughout the years.
I love the more vibrant coral shades of pink when it comes to decor..but enjoy the softer blushing shades of pink when it comes to flowers.
Cannot wait to see your beautiful range of paintings Jen...that last image looks amazing!! :) x
ANNA WHITE: I like how you put it....I heard several times that pink was
ReplyDeleteUnconditional love too....
I may add that to my new shop :))))))
Thanks for your pretty comment, i loved it.
I love pink. :o) Don't use it much in decor since I'm married, but I will be using it in my craft room! I've been toying with the idea of buying hot pink cowboy boots (I live in TX) and I posted some outfit ideas on my blog if you'd like to take a look and tell me what you think!

ReplyDeleteI don't think I could ever get enough pink, love all of this inspiration Jen! Maybe Pantone was really on to something with this year's 'color of the year'?
ReplyDeleteNancy xo
It used to be my very favorite color when I was in my teens. But as I grew older, though I still like pink sometimes, my favorites have changed. :-)
ReplyDeleteI absolutely loooove pink, but not the light baby pink shade, I like rich, strong fuchsia pink. In fact, we recently renovated our kitchen and have a fuchsia pink splashback now (see picture below)!!!

Pink is my FAVORITE color... My mother is a breast cancer survior so anything with pink or anything that goes towards finding a cure and supporting the movement gets my heart anyway :) FAB FINDS JEN!
ReplyDeleteGorgeous selections Jen!! Fab job as always :)
ReplyDeletePink is one of my favorites too... any shade of it usually brightens my day. I LOVE the business cards!
ReplyDeleteI actually love the color blue! However with a 3 year old little girl, one must embrace pink more! I love the freshness of it in flowers and pillows! A little here and there definitely brightens a drab corner!

IM IN LOVE
As I have gotten older, I have definitely moved into the girly territory of pinks.
ReplyDeleteI was a sucker for green as a child, blue as a teen and now am a bonafide pinkie! I love looking at darker shades of pink in artwork and furniture but can only wear light pink as makeup. The colour Pink makes me me feel comfortable and warm :)
Love! Love! LOVE!
ReplyDeleteI love pink and have for years. Thinking about getting rid of all my pink stuff and going coastal colors.
ReplyDeleteHi Jen, I just saw your reply to my comment, it never came through to me! I was just googling my name/company (haha I do that quite a lot!) and it came up!! Thanks so much!!!
