It's true- pastels can be wretched. When used a certain way, they can turn a home into a gag-inducing girly mess or a country scene out of an old Laura Ashley catalog. But when done well, pastels can be clean, cheerful, retro, and just the right amount of feminine. Maybe it's just the time of year, but I'm starting to think I might need some more sky blues and powdery pinks around our home...

OMG! I love the kitchen in the first pic!! Love the pink!! :)
ReplyDeleteHola, muy ingeniosa la decoración, aunque ayer pensé que con una jaima, un ordenador, papel y pluma, ah¡ y huerta, sería suficiente para los dos. Estos días estaba yo pensando lo que hacía con unos libros de decoración de casa de mis padres. Iba cogiendo uno a uno y según las diferentes fotografías, escogiendo como era mi casa, creo dos o tres como mucho. Haciendo una mezcla entre ellos, configuraba mi casa, donde vivía. bueno, pues eso, uno de mis entretenimientos de lo más divertido por aquella época.
ReplyDeleteHace mucho que no lo hago, ahora pienso otras cosas antes que la decoración, primero tener la casa, la que me gustaría, con eso me basta.
Salud.

ReplyDeleteI think I will die if I don't get one of those moraccan wedding blankets soon!!!!!
ReplyDeleteI love pastels, but I know what you're saying- the last thing you want is to make everyone think of Easter bunnies, etc. But these rooms all demonstrate a sophisticated use of pastel.

ReplyDeleteI'm looking for some time that table (the fourth photo). I was told that is the Super-elliptical, but not true. Not find it.
You know who that is? Please tell me the source of the photograph?
Thank you very much.
