Pink Shrink?

There's a feature in the May issue of Domino that's got my all in a tizzy. Or maybe it's more like a pink fizzy. You know about my obsession with white, well now it would appear that pink has popped up in this preoccupation. Domino features Layla shop owner Alyane Patrick's 'Bombay in Brooklyn' home, which is pretty divine. So, therein lies the rub...do I redecorate again?? I love her white canvas, predominately full of shades of bright pinks, with other bold splashes of color thrown in. I do have the canvas; I've been smart at least about this part. I really love having mostly white furniture, to which I can then add any color I like. I am also quite fortunate that my apartment walls and white shutters cooperate, too.



I think I'm just feeling a bit of post-modern depression and need to add a kick to these rooms. So, all day, I've been looking around, wondering how to make my own Bombay. I've perused my inspiration journals (and even found a photo, above, of of a past bedroom that has inklings of this look), flicker (just search a color and you'll be amazed at all the inspiration that appears), my vintage fabric collections and took a trip to Anthropologie, because nobody mixes it up better. I can't go all the way to India - I'll need an eclectic mix of styles. For I've come to find, the more styles you love and mix together, the more the room is you. So, I'm working on my own version of Alyane's look. Here we go again...but it's so much fun!
