| Chair I wish I had in inventory |
It is October - Breast Cancer Awareness Month - and each year I do a posting on "pink" used in decorating. I am sure there is a story behind the symbolic use of pink for this campaign but don't know what that story is. It is very gratifying to see the kind of progress that has been made on this horrible set of diseases and I know many breast cancer survivors personally - a wonderful cause!
I do not have any "pink" items in my own Wydeven Designs inventory and must admit that I am a little nervous about having a too "girly" look. I did just sell my last pink-like (raspberry) chair - a wonderful cut-velvet wingback - to a college student (and mother of college student) in Austin, TX. Looking at the images I found for this posting and the articles - outlined below - encourages me to go out and find more usable pink-red fabrics. They truly are beautiful!
Some colors
relax, others excite; pink does both. It provokes romance and glamour, and it
is the color of love's first blush. Pink delivers feel-good emotion in the same
way that a ranunculus blooms, one layer at a time. Give in to pink's pretty
power. link to article

This photo reminds me of my family room in our last home which was painted a deep pink color - my favorite room in that house!
