Happy Valentine's!

Here are a few of my favorite phone images of all things that remind me of Valentine's Day!

In the name of all things pink, I stumbled in my photo archives on a little project for a guest room from a few months back. I bought this vintage Thomasville bamboo dresser for a song and intended to use it in a nursery. Since I wasn't expecting at the time, I decided to paint it a neutral color that would work well in our guest room. I chose a creamy color with a touch of pink to match a pigment in the room's curtain floral pattern. I diluted the original Martha Stewart color too much so unfortunately, it was a lighter color than my goal, but I've since warmed up to it.

I hope to eventually use it, along with some other Hollywood Regency style bamboo furniture I've collected, in a navy blue and white room. I love seeing bamboo furniture in bright pops of coral or creamy, lacquered white. It works in my mind, at least ;) A coral would be nice so I could accent the white hardware and white paint details. I hate to touch original paints and finishes on vintage furniture, but this time it had to go.

It's a tad more pink than shown below. The lighting was a bit dismal that day.

Have a wonderful Valentine's Day with your loved ones!
