this striped settee from John Derian's store in NYC's East Village. I've been spotting the pink and red color combo a lot these days in both fashion and interiors and I gotta say....I really like it.
You?

A Splash of Pink
I'm not sure it is because I have a little girl, but I'm falling head over heels for interiors with a splash of pink. At first, I was convinced a pink sofa would be the right amount of pink to make me super happy!
But, after living with a pink sofa in our rental, I can tell you it is not ideal with little kids. It takes only seconds for my son to finish his lunch and then go dive on the pink sofa with his greasy hands. Hello stains! So, I'm reconsidering a pink sofa (unless it is in our master bedroom, but I need to convince my husband of that!) and am now thinking of injecting a splash pink in other ways.
Hello pink chair!

All Time Favorite
One of my all time favorite homes is Ashley Putman's, which was published in Lonny April/May 2010. I recently stumbled on a new blog (at least to me) called, The Semi-Designed Life, where the blogger, Lauren, actually got to tour Ashely Putman's home this past Christmas. See here. It's so good....I just had to post.
Ashley's courage to use a dark wallpaper in her bedroom is fantastic. I always lean towards the lighter end of the spectrum when it comes to walls, but, I really like this look. I also like the contrast of the dark walls with the feminine bedding.
It appears that Ashely switched the bedding for Christmas. Love it and the monogrammed shams.

How adorable is the tartan pillow case?
Another example of Ashley's fearless use of dark colors on the walls. The infamous cobalt blue dining room we all love.
Decorated for Christmas.
A cool shot. I love the eclectic mix of candlesticks.
I want to do this - the oversized brandy snifter filled with corks!
Perfection. I don't know where to begin? Black side door (always wanted to do this in our kitchen). Hardware. Kitchen table. Appliances. Open shelving. Brick flooring. Love it all.
I love open shelving, but I also would need cabinets and I like how Ashley's cabinets are off to the side.
Clean lined console and a lovely vignette!
Ashley's staircase from Lauren's tour. Looks like the 'For Like Ever' poster has a new home.
A great combination - tartan, chalkboard paint and wellies!
A house isn't complete without some lacquer!! Again, more evidence of her courage!
The Putman's family room. Chic and kid-friendly. Love it.
And, this is the room where they place their Christmas tree. How lovely.
And, yes a pool surrounded by grass, my favorite. This is the view outside of the family room.
In the living room, Ashley opted for lighter walls. I love how this room is casual and classic.
During Lauren's tour, it appears Ashley has changed the sofa.
Perfection!
I know I went overboard with the images. However, I hope you enjoyed the new pictures and a special thanks to Lauren from 'The Semi-Designed Life.' If Ashley's house is in the tour this year, I might just have to fly down to Houston myself to see it in person!! Happy Weekend!
