Pink in the dining room

 Feels so good to get all the Christmas things put away, 
and get this room stripped back down.

 Just some pink roses on top of a ruffled runner 
and I feel like I can breathe again~
 Its Shabby Chic for sure~
 Calming colors of that funny blue yet green color I love so much, 
mixed with a touch of pink
 This is the view of the dining room 
when you come walking in from the kitchen~
 And this is the dining room looking back towards the living room and the kitchen.
I was kind of wishing my mirror was still pink...
 I am finding I like smaller amounts of pink now~
 Little doses of pink do a world of good
 Supermarket roses cut down to make a compact and modern bouquet
 It was all this room needed~
 To make me love it all over again~
 
Even my MIL murmured that the room looked pretty!

  8. That ruffled runner is actually a leftover piece I cut off of a bedspread that had ruffles on it. I used the bedspread to make a slipcover for my couch and my piano bench and then I still had a piece left~so voila! it s a runner at the moment.

  13. Funny how we love to get the house all dressed up for Christmas, but also LOVE to put it all away and "see" the house again all ready for a new year. Very pretty indeed.

  20. amy, I think your dining room looks lovely as are the roses. No more pink needed, as you still have some in the rug and the roses are reflecting in your mirrors!

    Happy new year.

  23. I take all my stuff down on the 6th, Amy, and I'll be looking forward to it. I'll probably take a whole day of just looking at all the spaces empty before I reintroduce what I had there before the holidays. It's a great time to move things around, too. You'd almost think it was Spring or Summer with your pink roses!

  27. I can't believe you have it all put away already. I'm ready for some changes in my rooms too. I hope I can get back to doing projects soon. The new camera is taking great photos. Super great that you got that. I'm still thinking about the dog. I want to...and then I think I should wait. Ideally, I'd like a little puppy...but found him that needs a home. I think I will see him today. I think it would be good for Harvey to have a little boy to play with. He is still lonely.

    Happy New Year Amy,

    Your blog is always a delight to read because your love for your home is so obvious. Its not a grand mansion but the care and creativity put into it make it welcoming not only for your family but for your followers as well. You're fortunate to have a supportive husband and boys who are so accepting of ruffles, pink and all things feminine. Your happiness in creating a beautiful home is inspiring and infectious!

    And thank you for bringing Betsey Speert back into my life. I've been a fan for many years and lost track of her until she reappeared on your blog.

    I'm looking forward to more beautiful moments in 2012.

    Joy

  30. Amy,
    The rooms look heavenly.... sigh... So pretty and calm and peaceful
    Are some of those pics with your wide angle lens??
    Isn't it wonderful to get out all the stuff...

    Your little bouquet of pink has so much impact just the way it is. I think you're right, that just a touch of pink is best, even if it's a favorite color...
    And, i still like the mirror the best the color it is...
