Pink doesn't have to be precious, as these rooms demonstrate.

i totally agree! was just thinking this about pink after a visit to the walker art museum in minneapolis and especially its restaurant - which uses pink in a similar modern way to warm up the dining room which looks out over the grey, cold mn winter sky. the walker art website also makes good use of pink in a non precious way: http://www.walkerart.org/index.wac
this post is FANTASTIC.
I LOVEed this post and the room is adorable...i love the color scheme they used , its so sweet , like candy.

I love these examples. It seems every color looks great paired with a crisp white, especially this pink that not seen very much these days. I used to be partial to a Shanghai take on red with fuschia, but this is also elegant in a softer way.
love the post. where is the print front in the ungirly girl's room?
