I just returned from East Tennessee, where I was visiting my parents. My mother is the original pink lady! I imagine it is where I learned to love pink so much. I thought I would share pictures today of my parents living room. If you would like to see more pink posts, go to How Sweet the Sound.
This is the living room. There is lush pink carpeting, a white brocade sofa with pink pillows, and several other upholstered pieces - all shades of pink!

My dad refinished this beautiful settee. The fabric is a pink rose print.
I made this pink sachet for Mom.
The lamp is an antique from my grandparent's home. The shade is a gorgeous pink silk with fringe.
Mom loves pretty things. Isn't this basket lovely? It's filled with pink and white dried blossoms.
Another chair Dad refinished. It's upholstery is a deep raspberry pink brocade.
Another pink chair...Mom is a dish-a-holic like me. This tea pot was my grandmothers, manufactured by Hull.
My grandmother's china is the most beautiful I have ever seen. It is Haviland, Apple Blossom.
Even Mother's garden is totally pink...mandevilla.
Baskets of pink surround the pool and decking...
Seas of pink Zinnias dot the hills around Mom and Dad's home.

Your parents home is just gorgeous! I could live in a pink home, so soft and gentle! My last house was mauve, cream, and blue the closest I have come to having pink. I enjoyed it a lot!

I have to confess that I'm drooling over the Hull teapot. It is beautiful.
Hi Kathy, WOW, your mother's home is gorgeous inside and out. I love how the brocade chair looks against that pale green wall color. Just stunning!! Your grandma's china is beautiful too. You did a gorgeous job on the table top. Really pretty.

Hi Kathy,
What a lovely pink post. Your grandmother's Haviland china is so beautiful. There's an antique shop near me that has shelves of that pattern and I could not believe how soft and delicate the patterns were.
Happy Pink weekend!

I love that Hull teapot. I think I'm a dishaholic too...
Have a great week!
So much pink "eye candy"! And what a sweet Dad to be okay with all the pink.
I’m still cleaning the master closet, but I sneak away periodically to read a few blogs. (Hey, a girl needs a break every once in awhile! Especially from a job I don’t enjoy…at all!) It’s been fun catching up with you. I hope you’re having a good weekend.
Hugs!
Kat
So feminine and pretty! I love the settee! I'm so glad you stopped by my blog because now I've found yours and it's great :)
