How much pink is too much pink??

I was looking for a topic for today's post, and was searching around AZCentral.com and stumbled over this article. Maybe it is because I have recently been contimplating the way I really want my scrapbook room, or maybe the PINK did it for me. Who knows?

Basically the article is about a 23 year old woman in Dallas Texas who bought a 2-story condo and had nothingt o put in it. She had no furniture, no decorations, NOTHING! So with a $5,000 budget she went in search of the perfect look for her home!

She went to Ikea, shopped estate and garage sales, antique stores, ebay, and many other places. Some it fit perfectly, some stuff had to be altered or distressed to make it fit into the home.

Take a look!

Jenny Grumbles' pink and blue dining room, inspired by a photograph in a Jonathan Adler book and Tiffany's iconic blue gift box, is sugary and sweet.

While I wouldn't choose this for myself, I think it is understanted and not over done in HOT PINK. She uses it mostly to accent which is nice. It's not in your face or anything. I like it but don't expect it be found in my Scrap Room. I prefer red!
