Blushing pink








I love this beautiful guest cottage in Maine, that belongs to Martha Stewart.
It looks so warm and inviting.
The perfect place to cosy up for the weekend.
I love the blush coloured tones that go so well together with the grey.

Have a lovely lovely weekend

Hugs
Carolyn

    While I am not all that keen on pink, these photos make the colour quite lovely. Thank you.

    Hi Dolores,

    I remember the pink and grey from the 80's when everyone painted there rooms in this colour combination.
    I never really liked it because it seemed a little passe.
    I do think that this here is pretty
    though.

    Hugs

    Everything is so soft and fresh and pretty. I don't know if I would want to have a whole room pink. I like a few touches here and there to make it special. Have a great pink filled weekend!

    Hi Linda,

    It was the pretty roses in the first picture that spoke to me too.

    That is what I thought DJ.
    It does look very comfortable and lovely.

    Pink is a lovely colour isn't it and yes, it would be a nice place to relax.

    Hi Carolyn:

    ...Splendid! thanks for sharing... I could feel myself curled up somewhere with a good book and tea.

    Who knew Martha went in for so much pink -- looks like her softer side...

    Just beautiful! In my house previous to this one I had painted all the walls a very pale, pale pink and the carpet was a light grey berber in all the rooms except the master which was a PINK berber!! Yep, I truly LOVE pink!

    Hugs,

    Hi Eliza,

    I like the very pale pink and dusky pink also. They are both such pretty soft colours.

    Hi Marsha, the Princess of pink!
    Your house would have been lovely.
    When our daughter was a baby I painted her room what was meant to be a pale pink, on the colour chart.
    It turned out to be a darker pink and not really what I was wanting, so had to do it again.

    Hugs
    Carolyn

    Carolyn, how pretty...I loved the softest pink bedroom the best, the room looked very soothing...not to mention the gorgeous bed, but the thing that I loved the most was the gorgoues venetian mirror with the pink flowers...oh how I would love that :) Thank you for your sweet note, I think I caught that flu, the worst part is the sore bones..but I am getting better. Take care :) Rose

    Hi Rose,

    The Venetian mirror is pretty and I loved the little bathroom which is so soft and lovely and the roses in the first photo.

    Sorry to hear that you have the flu, my friend. I had that a few weeks ago and it was nasty.
    I felt like I had been hit by a bus too, ached all over.
    I think that the best thing you can do is go and get some rest. Often easier said than done, I know for me that was the case.
    I hope that you are feeling better soon Rose.

    Hugs
    Carolyn

    Beautiful!!! I love the soft hues of pink! We don't have any rooms in pink so I have to enjoy the pink rooms in other homes:). Martha's rooms are especially pretty.

    Blessings,

    I think that it would be very lovely living in this pretty coloured room, would make you feel calm and relaxed.

    Hi Carolyn,
    These pics at MS's are lovely. The colors are so soft and fresh at the same time. Grey goes with everything and the blush color is so pretty.
    The wicker keeps it light and airy.

    Hi Celestina Marie,

    You have been one busy Lady and I just adore all the decorating you have done around your home.
    You are very talented and love seeing what you are doing.
    I am knitting a jersey for my daughters Menswear collection due in about three weeks and lucky for me it is thick wool and on big needles. So I need to get back to it soon.

    Hi Karyn,

    Many thanks for visiting and I have enjoyed my visit to your lovely blog.

    Hi Stefanie,

    Many thanks for visiting and it is always great to have a new blog friend and I look forward to coming over to visit yours.

    Hi Marydon,

    that is the fun thing about blogging we see what our friends in the Northern Hemisphere are up to.
    Loved learning more about your place and the history. Thank you.

    Hugs

    Never thought pink and ash color would go so well...
    I'm not usually into pink, but these pictures really allure me.
    I might want that color combination for my room, just for a change of mood :p
    Thanks for the ideas, Carolyn!
