Tufted lavender velvet makes this
crisp crystalline living room approachable
in a friendly yet very sophisticated way.
For those who fear pastels as child's play,

That lovely balance point between pink and lavender.
Velvet again, paired with bold wallpaper.

Serenity is the earmark of this lovely pink retreat.
Soft, mellifluous, and glamorous.

The elegance of pink in a color-wash ombré wall
— from cream at the top fading down to petal pink at the base —

in my book periwinkle does.
Paired with bright white,
it rates at the top of my color love scale.

This quintessentially girly bureau is
a fairly conventional execution of mint.
The lacy white accessories, however,

If that bureau represents mint in a conventional sense,
this chevron flooring moves mint in a totally unexpected direction.
