I love pink.


.....one day in a moment of boredom (original post  HERE.), I took my
sweet but sedate cabinet form this....

to THIS:

THE PINK CABINET MAKEOVER
cost of this makeover - $12.00!


sometimes it just takes a little color...the make a BIG difference...look around you...is there something that has just been sleeping away, over in the corner that you and a can of paint and 15 minutes could breathe new life into?
Well, What are you waiting for!!!!
Go for it...seriously...
What is the worse thing that could happen?
you hate it...you paint it again!!!!


HAVE A GREAT DAY!!!

 NOW, GO PAINT!!

    First - I am so jealous of your Target score. I ended up empty handed. I have never seen anything like that. Second...your room is absolutely awesome. LOVE the pink. I am your latest follower. I found you over at Roomspiration (I am hosting Monday's leg of Roomspiration). I would love if you would stop by and say hi and consider following me back. Thanks.

    This is ADORABLE! It's super chic but also very cozy and friendly. I may have to jump on the bandwagon and paint the inside of a bookcase a bright color because it makes a huge impact and everything inside the bookcase pops. Color me inspired!

    That is beautiful!!! Just saw it on pinterest.

    I have a question on the light and shelving. I just added lights in my shelves in the kitchen but it only lights up the first shelf. I was thinking of adding glass shelves. In the picture it almost looked like your shelves had a light cut out in it. Curious about how you did it.

    thanks!

    LOVE PINK in an unhealthy way as well!! :) Also LOVE your coffee table~~ did you make it? My husband still shakes head when I ponder the "Oops Paint" at the Depot because I know there will be a treasure... Thank goodness my sister inherited the same "Dumpster Diving Diva" genes!!

    Lesli, I'm obsessed with what you did with your bookcase! The pink is such a great unexpected accent. Do you know the wall paint color in your living room? It is such a pretty, soft color. I would love to add your bookcase to my paint color galleries and include you in a feature. You wouldn't have to do a thing, just let me know if you're interested!

    I love your blog, and we have a few things in common.. I love pink, wear it, paint it.. I have the same cocktail table from Ballard, one of the few things I have bought new, and we have the SAME avocado green 1974 wall ovens! I have had a love hate relationship with them.. this house, a beautiful stone wood ranch built in 1974, ovens are original. Though, I did buy reclaimed Dacor convections at Habitat store to put in this Dec.. I have been here since 1992, older and divorced after 28 years in 08, and re-doing the house bit by bit... I have a good guy friend who is going to help with the ovens.. they are an inch bigger and they do work, we checked. So.. you are not the only one with these ovens, and I have the avocado cooktop too.. Thanks for the inspiration!

    The Living room wall color is "Spring in Aspen" . I have the "sister" color in the hall called "Feather Down" and "Maritime White". They are incredibly soothing colors.
