TICKLED PINK IN 2011 – PANTONE COLOR OF THE YEAR!

December 10, 2010

White living room in a NYC loft a tufted sofa, chaise lounge, upholstered Louis XIV chairs, an ottoman with wood legs on a pink and white area rug
Archive photo of best of friend Anne’s former New York Soho loft where pink was prominent! A pink wool rug from ABC Carpet & Home is center stage in this pink and white apartment! (above)

So have been trying to reach friend Anne to tell her that she is a clairvoyant. Pink has been her color of the year for pretty much all of her adult life…and now this year the Pantone 2011 Color of the Year is Honeysuckle – a vibrant reddish pink! Anne and so many of my friends LOVE pink. So now…it is their year!

Anne is now living in another great loft apartment in Soho with her husband John and their kids. The family has embraced pink that’s for sure. Pink is still a big decor player in their house…a pink bird cage, the wool rug (that I thought was a Madeline Weinrib…which I am sure I was told at some point…now I am being told “you just don’t listen”…but just found out it is from ABC Home & Carpet), Jonathan Adler Lampert sofas trimmed in pink, a vintage wrought iron glass table base painted pink, pink throw pillows and more!

Happy Honeysuckle pink 2011 everyone and Anne!

Happy Friday too!

P.S. Okay…here’s what’s weird…was up until 2:45a last night working with fab web designer MR launching redesign of blog (let me know what you think…)…and I told him I wanted to get rid of the famous COCOCOZY silver pig photo. We got rid of the pig. What’s funny is that I took that photo at Anne’s house years ago…and I just noticed you can see the same pig on the same table in this photo – the same pig who was my mascot for years. So I should embrace the fact that my silver pig will always be around to some extent!

    It’s going to be a long year for me – since pink isn’t really my fave – but I may change my mind after reading the Mary McDonald book and seeing this fabulous loft!! And too funny about the pig.

    I think the redesign looks great! And that room- adore!!! I was thrilled with Pantone’s pick- I’m a lover of pink so was definitely happy with the choice.

    I’m a little upset that pink is the new color! I have always loved using pink and it didn’t get as trendy as turquoise… I am sure with the new year it will be everywhere though… sigh…

    I totally miss your trademark silver pig. Reposition it if you must, but delete it? Tsk. 🙁

A great parquet floor doesn’t just ground a room. A great parquet floor doesn’t just ground a room. It tells you everything about the history of the space. The patina, the pattern, the way light moves across it. These are the rooms that prove good bones never go out of style.
What’s your favorite parquet pattern?

Designer Emma Donnersberg took her own Paris apartment in the 7th arrondissement and used it to rewrite the rules — classical bones, contemporary everything else. Her Wave Sofa and U&Me Table anchor the living room in organic curves. In the kitchen, a green ceramic-wrapped island does the heavy lifting for color against all that neutral stone. And the dining room? A Carrara travertine fireplace that turns stone into the whole point of the room.
Curved, curated, and completely hers. 🤍

A little peek at one of my favorite outdoor spaces, which I designed years ago. The patterned tile, navy seating, white stucco, and layers of greenery make this balcony feel like a little room all its own.
I love how much personality you can create in a small outdoor space without making it feel overcrowded.
Save this for your next outdoor space refresh. 🍃

Want a bedroom that feels cozy, warm, and invitingWant a bedroom that feels cozy, warm, and inviting? Start with these simple changes:
1. Layer your bedding. Mix sheets, a duvet, quilts, and throw blankets to create that plush, lived-in look.
2. Add warm lighting. Swap harsh overhead lighting for bedside lamps, sconces, or a statement light with a warm glow.
3. Bring in plenty of texture. Think linen, velvet, boucle, chunky knits, and soft rugs.
4. Keep the palette warm and calming. Soft neutrals, earthy tones, and muted colors instantly make a room feel more restful.
5. Mix in natural materials. Wood, rattan, woven accents, and stone add warmth and character.
6. Make the walls feel personal. Art, photographs, or even a statement headboard can make the room feel more finished.
7. Add something organic. A vase of branches, fresh flowers, or a little greenery can bring the room to life.
The goal isn’t to make your bedroom perfect. It’s to make it feel like a place you actually want to retreat to at the end of the day.
Save this for your next bedroom refresh. 🤎
