i spy: passionate pink.
there’s something very passionate about pink. it’s the color of love, a shade slightly lighter than red, perhaps symbolizing the more feminine side of the passion equation. pink can be tranquil, and yet kind of exotic, too. this week, i spy the power of pink.

Great post! I am a sucker for pink…….. I absolutely adore that wallpaper on the last picture!
This last photo speaks to me. Gorgeous wallpaper but i dont think my hubs would go for it :) Great post.
Aah, the passion fruit, the strawberry-guava, the love nectar drinks.
Cheers!…to staying in the glow of the passionate pinks.
Wow ! A lot of great pink finds. Love the glass pink hanging lamp.
Hi does anyone know what to call the wooden platform seating. I would love one but have no idea how to identify it. Thanks everyone?
Diana from San Francisco
I really like the artwork in the first image, I wonder who it’s by!
glad you like the round up!
diana – i’m not certain, but urban outfitters calls their’s a platform bed, or maybe i’d call it a daybed:

lovely collection. i’m in a pink phase myself. i think it’s because i have a baby girl :]
oh that beautiful needlepoint pillow!
so beautiful. love every image and the story they all tell together. perfectly timed pink post on a grey drizzly day.
Saw you in the Home section of the S.F. Chronicle yesterday! Been following your blog for over a month now.;-) Love what you choose to put up. I get design fever every-time I look!
Also to Diana: It is just that- platform seating/daybed. This one looks like it was homemade. Also to SFGirl, I forgot to mention that every photo you chose, is always so full of light. They are my morning pick me up. Who needs coffee? ;-)
So beautiful! I love all the different couches in this post!
xoxo

“My colors are blush and bashful” :)
I love random punches of passionate pink, so playful.
Love the artwork in image#1.. would love to know what it is… might the platform bed be called a “diwan” ( or divan) ?
Just looking at the pretty pink images and saw my fixture. Thanks so much for the mention! I’m glad I continued scrolling because I was fixating on the vintage pouf! Thanks Victoria!
Does anyone know a good place to find a lovely pink/rose sofa– the only thing i can find is 8,000 dollars?! ps– gorgeous article…
tiffany, room & board has well-made and fairly affordable sofas, which can be ordered in a huge array of fabrics and colors, in the $1500 – $3000 range – i would check them out:

I have just spent 2 weeks in the States – LA and NYC and the options are endless! I was quite overwhelmed by the choice and felt like a bit of a country bumkin! There is so much and it is mostly gorgeous, so every time I see your blog, I get so inspired and then remember that it is not available in my beloved South Africa! Super frustrating, but I absolutely love your blog, it keeps me nicely updated and inspired until the next trip! thank you
Great pictures even though I’m not the biggest fan of pink. Inspiring. Thanks:)
