I dont’ know about you, but I have so many images in my files that I return to time and time again for inspiration. This is one of them. I absolutely love Bougainvillea – it reminds me of some of my most favorite places in the world – so for me, this photo captures pure [...]
I’ve been quite obsessed with this palette for a while now – or at least variations of it. This shot from Lonny Mag always had me at hello with the peachy drapes, teal-green lamp, and a touch of navy blue mixed with all that warm camel… But I have to say I’ve never seen it [...]
B. Wow. I second that BOLD look. While I tend to stick with neutrals for my own home, I really love this color scheme.
Jackie Have always loved that room from good friend and designer extraordinaire Angie Hranowsky!
Sweet Peas Design Loving the pretty pinks and blues! So inspirational!!
FripperyVintage Love pink and camel together, works just as well with clothing
kristen rivoli wow, I really love this color combo! it’s not one you see every day, in fact not a lot. really love the teal color, it’s so rich. I’d love to stay in that room at the Gramercy Hotel too!
Katie@mydiyhabits.blogspot.com/ Love Love Love…spring refresh it is! Can’t wait to see your interpretation!
Sometimes, creatives get a little carried away with their ideas and visions for a space, event, or garment. There’s always that moment where adding just one more element can take something from ‘wow’ to ‘oh dear God, no’. So I always admire the designers who push the envelope to that very edge… Like the work [...]
Quinn Cooper Wow, I’m loving those leopard lamps, obsessed. Both of these styles are inspiring. Sometimes you just need to go over the top with it and it just works. I mean who knew that Leopard and butterflies could look so good, very unexpected. Toile and roses a little more expected but still beautiful because of the richness of the orange and pinks.
Sinem I would not think that this combination would be so nice but it is lovely..
Stand Out That set up for the table it’s just stunning!
YOLONDA These are awesome…I really admire the mix of the place setting. May have to try it for my next gathering.
Alyssa I love that first room. The pink and leopard are so cute!

Tiffany D'Souza I call this serendipity at its best! I really admire the concept of pushing the boundary and creating a totally new vision. It’s a tad bit risky but without it who is to know if you are to fail or succeed like in this case!
Morgan {Style Oyster} OMG this post makes me feel SOOOO much better about my living room. I started early last year redecorating it to be a pink/yellow/white theme and I’m still playing with things and moving things around, or adding in/taking away…sometimes I feel like I’ve gone too far, sometimes I feel like it’s not enough! LOL. It’s still a work in progress, but overall, I’m happier with it now than I ever was before the redecorating. Much lighter, brighter and happier!
Amy Love the combo’s so unexpected and I really love the shag rug to really pack a punch.

Ryan Di Salvo Loved this post, especially for a Monday. I love how looking at someone else’s designs can ignite that one little spark inside you that moves you forward in your own work.
Cheers,
Ryan
Toms-Price Home Furnishings This went so right and could have gone so wrong!
Denise Love this post! Any idea where I can find that pink and orange toile fabric?? I’ve been searching online since I read your post and can’t find it anywhere! ~ Denise
Cassandra LaValle Post author Yes! I believe it’s Manuel Canovas!
Henna SO….totally off topic, but as I was looking through these photos (especially the leopard) I thought…yep, gotta share with Cassandra. 
As you yourself said, sometimes the creatives get a little carried away. Yeah, um I LEOPARD printed Easter Eggs. 
…and they’re amazing, haha.
Cassandra LaValle Post author I LOVE THAT!!!! and they look so good!!
I’ve been staring at this room for days because I’m fairly obsessed with the paint job here. Never in a million years (ok, maybe in a million) would I have thought to continue the paint from an accent wall behind a bookcase into the floors. Or vice versa, I guess. But I love the feel it gives [...]
Amy Oh I really like the 2nd pic
very sweet and not to overwhelming
Amy
Franki That first photo – Rah!! What a happy color!! franki
Molly {Dreams in HD} love the rose pink wall and floorboards in the second photo!
Patti Borrelli @BeSoStyle Love those painted floors. I too am a big fan of white, but love the subtle pops of colour with these images. Have a beautiful weekend!
Jen Ramos love the second photo.. the half white/half color is pretty awesome!
Chelsey I love these color ideas! I always stay clear of bright colors on walls but these are inspiring me to push out of that trend too!
Anne GORGEOUS MIX, ESP THE CORAL. gREAT BLOG, HAVE ADSDED YOU TO MY SIDEBAR!
Hey coco+kelley readers! Victoria from vmac+cheese here, filling in for Cass while she’s galavanting in Africa (!!). My wish list is less about things I would want for the Valentine’s holiday (though any of these items would certainly make the cut), and more about letting the color of the hour inspire a bit of retail [...]
ady oh, lovely!
Stupendo. Kiss Ady
Look and the City
Axelle This is such a pretty collage! The top sleeveless blouse just made it to my personal wishlist!

Chloe @Ergo-Blog So pretty!! I love the perplum top and the lingerie set!! =)
Erica Floral pumps are darling… love the color!
victoria | vmac+cheese Thanks for having me today, Cass! Hope you are having a great time!!!
Despite many posts that may imply otherwise, I am not a girly girl by nature. I’m a jeans and t-shirt girl. A watch-a-lot-of-espn girl. My favorite color is black. My least favorite color is purple. Pink might be a close second… but I have to admit that it has grown on me over the years. The [...]
Tiffany I love pink in any way, but for those who don’t, I think you’ve nailed it here with the harsher lines to add balance to the feminine hue. Great post!
Cecilia Pink is such a great color! I just got a pair of pink jeans today and a pretty beige scarf with a pink trim. So nice. Love the geometric edges in these!
barbara I adore pink, but can completely understand why someone would not- I do have a tool box and can wire a lamp but feel delightful in pink!
YOLONDA Pink is one of my favorite colors! I like pink as interior color!

amanda I am not a pink girl either but the architecture on those two dresses is unbelievable!! maybe it off sets the daintiness of pink that I have an aversion to because they are gorg!

Elizabeth I totally agree with you on this. I am not a pink girl by nature, but i do appreciate certain shades of pink.
Andi of My Beautiful Adventures My fave color, LOVE!
Maria @ Inspiration Affirmation I like this a lot! Sort of gives the generally girly pink color some edge!
mikky Ooof, it’s weird the last few times I go to leave a comment on your blog after I hit submit comment I get an error message. Sometimes my comment is there, sometimes it’s not. Just an fyi for you.
But back to my commenting…love that paper chandelier it is so cute! Would love to make one of these this summer for an outdoor dinner party. Those red rimmed glasses are really sweet too. Now I’m just waiting to see the dessert ideas you’ve cooked up! Can’t wait to see what yummy mexican dessert you have in store.

After a month of holiday focused posts (and life!), it feels so good to get back into a routine today, doesn’t it? And on a Wednesday too, which means the weekend is just around the corner! During the little time I took off, I felt like I finally found a bit of inspiration and energy [...]

Samantha Penner Love this color combo- unexpected yet chic.
Donna Khoo Love these color combinations – I have to admit my wardrobe is pretty much filled with only those colors – so feminine! X
Eleanor @ Sequins & Sass I love the addition of the olive! it really keeps things from being too Easter-y or baby shower-esque. it balances everything out wonderfully – gorgeous!
Serena elise Love this post..so pretty
Franki Edgy! franki
Bungalow 1a Great post….love this color combination! These colors give me fresh energy and remind me that spring is around the corner!!
life is in the details. style accordingly.
Love association you made with the bougainvillea! I love both. Very clever!
gorgeous! reminds me of the bougainvillea covered french rivera and amalfi coast. *sigh*
Oh god that pink room took my breath away!!! That is my dream room! My husband would kill me though with THAT much pink.
I love bougainvillea as well. The color of the flowers are simply stunning. The pink is great, but I think my favorite bougainvillea color is the orange flower.
There is nothing like that bougainvillea color! Gorgeous! And it brings back so many great travel memories.
Over the Moon
Such a lovely color.
I can see why you are inspired by it.
