Would you live in a pink house? Our circa 1875 Victorian-style farmhouse was pink when we first moved in 15 years ago. And although I didn’t mind since pink is my favorite color, we’ve since painted it a buttery yellow. I’m editing some photos of its exterior and hope to post them soon. For now, I’m giving a nod to our home’s history by celebrating pink houses.
What a darling home! From the pink clapboard to the white accents, this home has “quaint” written all over it.
I’m lovin’ the details like the horse-tying post, picket fence and graceful arbor.
Yesterday I was reading an article about interior design, and it mentioned that the most interesting rooms are those with a great backdrop. When you think of a room’s backdrop, think windows, flooring, and walls. You can spruce up flooring with beautiful rugs, and windows with curtains, blinds, or shutters. Walls can be enhanced with…
If you’ve seen the movie “Groundhog Day” with Bill Murray, you might think it was filmed in Punxsatawney, PA. But truth be told, the movie was filmed just a few towns north of where I live in Woodstock, Illinois. I’ve heard that the movie makers passed through Woodstock on the way to film the Blue…
Normally you think of doors as something you shut to create privacy, or something you open to allow entrance into another space. But doors are far more than a functional piece; they create architectural statements inside and outside your home. Â They can be sleek and modern, or paneled and traditional. Doors are beautiful in their…
One thing we miss living in America is the vast array of really old buildings and homes. Can you imagine living in a house that’s over 500 years old? I think about the lives and history of older homes here in the United States, but old houses in Europe have seen so much more. Today…
My family did something a little different this year for Christmas. We took a trip to historic Galena and spent four days together to celebrate the holiday. Galena is a popular get-away location due to its scenic rolling hills and rich history. Galena used to be the largest city in Illinois, back in the…
Something about the fall season brings out the need for warm and cozy texture in the home. Pillows and throws are a simple solution, but what about the architectural appeal of a stone wall? In my childhood home there was a large stone wall fireplace in the center of the room, running up to the…
What totally adorable pink houses! They are terrific! Thanks for linking this lovely pinkness to Potpourri Friday! I hope you will make it a weekly party stop! I am a new friend and follower!
Well, I can hardly believe it is Thanksgiving already. Seems like we just planted our flowers…I am so very thankful for many ways God has blessed me…I give HIM all the Glory!I ask for many blessings to come your way through this holiday season! Kandy
I love this post. There is a pink bungalow on my street that I adore so much… it reminds me of picture #2 you have posted here. I actually have had lunch at the Olde Pink House and it was delicious! Happy Pink Saturday!
Oh my goodness Jennifer I don’t know which one I like best!!! I could definitely live in a pink house. I love the one from the Sears catalog. Happy Pink Saturday..xo Tami
Jennifer some of these are gorgeous! Although I love pink, I prefer it in smaller amounts. I expect your yellow house is much prettier now than it’s former pink self. I adore Hilton Head Island and haven’t been back since my hubby passed away three years ago.
Love all those pink houses and church. The Pink House in Savannah is a great restaurant I love to dine there and of course, love that it is pink. The house in Charleston is one I walk by often. I love those two historic cities and many houses are pink especially in Charleston.Wish I could live in a pink house.
WOW! Just when I thought I had picked my favorite, nope. Too many darn cute pink houses. I could live in a pink house. Not so sure how the hubby would feel. I bet your house is darling yellow. We visited S. Carolina 3 years ago. I brought home a painting of my favorite house I had seen there. It was yellow with red accents. TOO CUTE! It hangs in our master bedroom.
LOVE…LOVE…LOVE all these pink houses. I would in a minute live in a pink house, especially a Victorian! When done right (as all of the above are) pink is marvelous. I live in an area with tons of Victorians and there was this cute house and just the other day they painted the trim pink- bubble gum pink – not the right pink…I almost crashed the car when I saw it! Thanks for linking up…I am a new follower here!
I also love the third house. It looks a lot like the doll house of my daughter. Hehe. The color of the roof and siding make a beautiful contrast. The pink siding made the dark roof stand out even more. And the white trims create a good lining between the two main colors. It’s perfect, and I think my wife would love this since she loves pink!
