In the Pink

I must admit:  I'm just a little bit fixated on flamingos.  Flamingos in riotous shades of pink.  I'm not normally a pink kind of gal (nor a flamingo type of a girl to be completely honest), and I'd sooner be on Block Island than South Beach, but I've absolutely flipped for these blooming birds in all their long legged glory.

Trend-setter, I'm clearly not, as I've seen these intriguing creatures scattered across the pages of just about every magazine I've flipped through in the past several weeks.  And Pinterest is virtually awash in pale pink feathers.  But I'm hooked.  I love the idea of an unexpected pop of pink (and flash of leg) turning up where you least expect it -- a tres chic powder room, super glam dressing area, ultra-feminine bedroom, a sitting area with moxy, cozy desk nook or elegant vintage modern dining room.

Come take a browse with me through the images that have struck my fancy this week...

Ooh, la, la... the hot pink tub adds a nice touch to this glam vintage bath
(Cole & Son flamingo wallpaper):

Wowsa!  That's a lot of flamingo, but super elegant.

Love this mod vintage sofa set against a striking Grace Garrett wallpaper...

 Wow - flamingos with Mojo! (Albany wallpaper)

Oooooh, love the effect of pink against black (Graham & Brown wallpaper):

Too sweet... (Cole & Son)
 

And this one's wall art (via Etsy) instead of wallpaper, but I still love it.  Perhaps it needs a home in my studio space:

 

What I don't know is how to tell my male-centric household that pink flamingos are in our future... any thoughts?  "Honey, I know you're going to love it..."  or "Trust me on this one?"  Wish me luck...
