Pink Saturday.... A splash of color

Thanks for visiting PINK Saturday. Please visit our lovley host, Beverly @ HowSweetTheSound for more pink post.

I've been redoing my guest bathroom. I'm adding a bit of feminine to a home full of men. YES' I get one room in the house to add some frou frou.

I've just started on this redo and here are some of the pink items I've added so far.

First on the list is a vase purchased at an estate sale. The sides feature 3 pink roses with raised details. I haven't added anything inside, YET!


I found a vintage metal shelf at a thrift shop and painted it white. I've added some pinks. I haven't decided if I like the look, but it will do for now.



A pink towel hangs from the shelf. It reads "A Dream Is A Wish Your Heart Makes" I picked this towel up while out antique shopping in Crossville, TN. In the bottom corner of the photo you can see a glimpse of a silver tray I painted white and added pink roses.



I have purchased some photos to display, I just need to buy or make frames for them. Once finished I'll do a post on the completed bathroom.

Have a Happy Day

Kris

Hi Kris,

Pretty photos from your bathroom. Love the metal shelf. Definately a keeper in my yes. Looks very pretty displaying the cards.

Happy Spring to you and your family.

Justine/Justiney/Tiney said...

Okay, it is SO not fair that the ONLY room you can add frou frou to is the crapper! What's up with that? Spread your pinkness everywhere!

Justine :o )

You may just have to start adding a little more of your touch to the other rooms a little at a time. The guys may not notice what is going on. :) Have a great weekend.

Pretty pretty :-)The glass vase with the raised pink rose detail is beautiful. I'm sure you'll have lots of treasure finds to add to it.

The message of the towel is really nice too.

Happy Pink Saturday!

I LOVE your pink touches. That shelf is darling--I've seen metal ones similar to yours, but not with that great towel bar! Hope you are having a great Pink Sat!!

LOVED that drive you took with those gorgeous trees in bloom!

I know how it is to live with a bunch of men. I have two sons, my hubby and a male cat. I tell them that the pink is a defense against all of the testosterone!
Happy Pink Saturday!

Happy Pink Saturday.

I just read 2 of your posts....The one with the blooming pear trees was UNBELIEVABLE !! I would just drive back and forth, back and forth on that road until all the blossoms are gone. I've never seen anything like that.

Hi! I'm a tad late to wish you a happy pink Saturday, but I wanted to tell you that everybody thought that clip 'ooh girl' was hilarious, thanks for sharing!

Becky said...

I can see I am going to love seeing more of this room. Can't wait for the big reveal.
I think I tossed the bunny fold directions. That's the problem with getting rid of magazines.
Have a great week.

Nancy @ La Chambre Rose said...

That's one way to keep a bathroom spotless in a home full of boys...fill it to the brim with PINK! Too cute, of course, I love all the vintage items, and that towel is precious.
