THIS FABULOUS FRIDAY, I HAVE FOUND… PINK!
“It’s So Fabulous!” Design Find of the Week: PINK! It’s everywhere! Although purple is one of the hottest colors of the season, it has brought along with it every imaginable shade of pink! Nearly everyday for the last few weeks, I have found myself admiring this fresh color in some new design capacity. Let’s face it… PINK is just FUN! Although it is often “too much” to make it the dominant color in a room, inserting pink accents can truly add a unique pizazz to any space. Why not give it a try in YOUR home?! Check out these pictures (from Traditional Home Magazine) of some elegant and inspiring, pink-accented rooms! FABULOUS!
Love these pink walls with the bright green chair!
Look what these pink throw pillows do for this room.... POP!
The tiniest touch of pink in the window treatments adds a subtle softness to the space.
This pink chair adds that "special something" to this neutral bathroom.
These bold pink chairs and accents take the use of this color to a whole new, whimsical level!
FABULOUS pink window treatments and rug!
The pink in this space is much more dramatic on the stark white background!

The color pink adds a touch of playfulness to this elegant outdoor dining space.
Beautiful place settings.... as fresh as a berry!

NOW, GO HAVE AN “It’s So Fabulous!” DAY!
Hi, Kimberly! I just wanted you to know how much I enjoy your blog. Todays is simply “fabulous” (not to mention that my favorite color is PINK!). I am also in the interior design business (25 years now) and I recently visited your store when I was at the beach. I loved it! You are one talented and creative lady! I admire all you have accomplished (and with so many kids) and wanted to let you know that your blog “inspires” me weekly now. Now YOU go and have an “It’s So Fabulous Day” too! Happy Week-end!
Susan! You truly made my day! Thank you for the wonderful compliments! Coming from another designer, your words have special meaning.
The next time you are in the shop, ask for me! I would love to meet you in person!
You are MOST welcome, Kimberly. I most certainly will come by again when I am in Myrtle Beach and ask for you. Thank you for that! I too would love the opportunity of meeting you! In the meantime, I will continue to read your blogs…..as they are so inspiring, uplifting, informative, humorous at times, etc. Oh, BTW, I turn 50 this week and your blog has inspired me to make it my “IT’S SO FABULOUS 50TH BIRTHDAY”…..and of course, it involves PINK (again, my favorite color) decor!!! I just thought I’d share that tidbit with you! Have a blessed week-end!!!
Susan! We are both turning 50 in the same week! How funny is that?! Thank you so much for reading my blog! I am thrilled that you are enjoying it. It is truly a “labor of love”. Being a fellow designer, I am sure you can relate to projects such as this. lol.
Have a great birthday week! I want to hear all about your celebration!!! Please keep me updated… I would LOVEEEEE to see some pics of your “It’s So Fabulous! 50th birthday!” HOW EXCITING! YAY!
I love this one, pink is SO fabulous ! I had a lot of pink in my first house but none in this one. I’ll have to fix that in my next house. Hope you have a great weekend, Kimberly.
Thanks, Tammy! I agree… pink does add a touch of something special to a home. Sometimes, it can go verrrryyyy wrong (LOL), but with some editing and a good eye, it can definitely be FABULOUS! I am sure it looked gorgeous in your last home… you have great style!
OMG……Kimberly, you are also turning the big 50 this week?……which day? That is amazing. Mine is tomorrow, the 25th. Of course I won’t actually be 50 until 6:50 PM tomorrow(I’m counting the remaining hours and minutes of still being in my 40′s!) Ha! I will let you know how my “Fab 50″ party is. I had hoped to have more time to pull the decor together, but didn’t, so I’ll do my best with what I did get done for it. At least it IS pink! Pics may not be “all that great” to share, but I’ll see. I can tell from your work that yours would truly be FABULOUS. I mean that….your work is fantastic! I love your style! No wonder I am drawn to your sight and blog……..we are both “May babies” turning “50″ and designers. That is incredible! I hope you have a truly blessed birthday! CELEBRATE!!!
My birthday is actually June 2, but that’s a week away…. we are still very close in age! Isn’t that so funny!? Ok, and now that I know you didn’t already know I was also turning 50, you MUST go back and read the blog series I wrote called “Secret Life of a Bikini Mama”. You will definitely get a chuckle out of it and be able to appreciate my circumstances! It’s all about turning 50! HA! I am trying to quietly sneak by this year without a ginormous party, and so far, so good. Just have to keep my husband under control. I plan to live vicariously through your fabulous party, though! Pink makes everything better, doesn’t it?! Do you have a website? I would love to take a gander at what I know is your fantastic designs! Thanks for your wonderful compliments about mine. You are very good for my “almost 50″ ego! HA! Happy, happy birthday! Have a wonderful day tomorrow, my dear.
