Pretty in Pink

Those of you who live with men know that decorating for two can be a challenge. By "a challenge" I mean, this is not going to happen in my house as long as Adam is living there too:

'Pale pink with a canopy bed," calls to mind a spoiled 5-year-old's princess bedroom, but this is no such thing. Beneath the candy colors, this room is all sophistication. Textural finishes, graphic black lines... and I love how the opening peony references the ikat pillow!

I've already pushed my luck enough with lavender walls and floral bath towels. But maybe I could sneak some of these into the house?

Isn't that uncanny? The sweet pastel pink, fresh green, touches of orange, and of course the crisp black outlines. These illustrated ceramic pieces by Molly Hatch have me smitten. Perhaps the boyfriend could bring home a bouquet of springy tea cups?

They are GORGEOUS! I am drooling. Definitely go for them. Who cares what Adam says (er, sorry Adam!). I have pink dessert dishes. As long as Ryan doesn't have to eat off of them everyday, he doesn't care. Maybe get A some fancy cooking tool at the same time so he gets a new toy too!

Haha! I'm obviously no good at compromise or conflict resolution, because I'm inclined to say go for it!

Your fellah has an infinitely superior sense of style than mine, I think. You've got all kinds of great color in your apartment! Good call with the reciprocal gifting- he gets a new grill, I get to have a tea party!

Jane...

There's a line on the color spectrum that cannot be crossed in this house: pink is off-limits! There aren't any established consequences though, so I'm getting tempted to break the rule...
