(or, in other words, champagne gold and pale pink)
Long before I was a "blue" girl, I was a "pink" girl. If asked my favourite colour, I would instantly answer "pink." To this day, Sarah Bernhardt peonies are my favourite flower, and given a rainbow of options to choose from at the bakery, I always choose the pink macaron.
Recently, I began thinking about a colour palette for my home office (currently just a desk in my unfinished basement - but an upcoming reno will see it transform into a space I can call my own). As I was searching through images on Etsy (a favourite pastime, I must confess), I found this pretty art print and fell in love with this girly and glamorous, yet uniquely understated colour combination.
Yes, I am talking about pink and gold.
And, the more I looked, the more I was convinced that this dynamic duo had lots to offer the world.
Whether as pretty nail art,
Or as a delicious looking
dessert.
I love the feminine qualities of this pairing, as well as their subtlety. Youthful and restful, they look adorable in a
nursery,
or as the pleasing palette at a bridal or baby
shower.
And then we enter the vast world of interior decorating and design. A place with limitless possibilities for colour combinations - and I love so many of them!!! But again, I keep coming back to this pairing.

| So in love with these toss cushions that I found on Pinterest!!! |
Is it the sophistication I am after? The femininity (after all, I am the only female in my house)? Or is it possible that, being a very practical person (and being married to an even more practical man), I like the idea of having a slightly indulgent, different-than-anything-I've-ever-had-before kind of room?
If you know me and have the answer the the above question, please feel free to fill me in!!! :)
Here are some other decor images featuring my latest fav combo:

Do you know what is EXTRA fabulous about this pretty image? The pictured shelves
are courtesy of an IKEA hack! Just amazing what can be done with a can of spray paint. |

| I love the Art Deco vibe in this image - especially the geometric wallpaper. |
 |
Today must be the day for featuring IKEA hacks - this trestle desk has had
gold leaf added to amp up the wow factor! |
 |
| OOH! Lovely display here of framed art prints (can't get enough), apothecary jars, and other assorted treasures. |
So, there's my favourite colour combination (of the moment!) - it really does change all the time. And, while I don't know that I'll commit to this palette for my home office, I may just try out the pretty manicure pictured above.
Have a great day everyone!
