That went by the wayside anyhow. I agree that pink can be used in many styles and ways, just not for me. As for retro, it's cool to look at, again not for me. Debbie of course you have always had good taste and that is the thing I love about your style, you don't necessarily exclude any style, you blend what you LOVE expertly and it shows!Erinnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7753991164004572883.post-14963346317212592372010-02-21T19:14:47.334-05:002010-02-21T19:14:47.334-05:00I loved your pink story!

I love your background...it's so colorful! <br /><br />I'm not really fond of pink in decor, but it's probably becuz I lived with a pink speckled laminate counter for 26 years..UGLY! I'm sure that will change as I've seen so much pretty pink in decor blogs lately.judihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07443196847274122551noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7753991164004572883.post-50044041374403723812010-02-20T21:19:58.422-05:002010-02-20T21:19:58.422-05:00Love the retro stuff you have!

And, yes, one child did throw up on it! That was a DUMB choice on our part. <br />My style has always been traditional 18th century, but in recent years it's become more transitional & have thrown in a few modern pieces. <br />BTW, in the 80's our walls in the living/dining room were pink ... don't think I will ever do that again!<br />Thanks for taking us back to your retro period!Pam - @diy Design Fanatichttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04303399189647950307noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7753991164004572883.post-55121432373819887922010-02-20T10:03:59.106-05:002010-02-20T10:03:59.106-05:00I love retro.

It reads very retro and even has the pink & gray dinette -- what's wrong with that?? ;-) I love it . . . though I must admit to feeling a bit trapped by it now. It would not get along with the nice, new maple cabinets I would like as well as the earthtones of the rest of the house. I'm still coming to grips with how to update the kitchen and still retain some of the pink retro I love and have so much invested in.<br /><br />Thanks for coming by my blog and for your kind comments.LemonyRenee'https://www.blogger.com/profile/07200070770150819952noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7753991164004572883.post-35867050582971815752010-02-20T08:37:35.606-05:002010-02-20T08:37:35.606-05:00I don't think you're too late, maybe for t...I don't think you're too late, maybe for the linky love, but it's still great to post those lovely pink things..

It closed up after a few yrs. I think it was just getting to hard to find retro items to fill the shop. Seems everyone caught on to the retro and prices on used went sky high . Wed go on the Harley so I couldnt take anything big back! Ya know I would have. My dream for this mid century home we are in now was to do all retro but due to serious ongoing injury the dream fell short.I do have the bedroom set and a few other items but not enough to complete.
