I heart pink. Like a lot. I wear it, paint with it and would totally drive a pink car if my husband would ‘let’ me! {On a side note I saw a Zebra painted SUV and have concluded that, YES, there is such a thing as too much zebra!} So back to my love of pink, once I hung pink curtains in the living room. My husband was ok with it because it was around my birthday and he wanted to be nice, but this time when I started to carry in pink furniture, he asked me if why I was trying to emasculate the house. I told him to be happy I only wanted a pink corner and not a pink accent wall
The corner was just so DARK before, it needed some color!
Ok, maybe it’s just the table, I just felt the pink on the walls needed some a pink friend.
$20 dollar thrift store deal+ Rustoleum {berry pink and silver} with a little black glaze on the top.
I even put a little design on the top and stenciled with spray paint! Worked like a charm!
In other news we ran another 5k this weekend and I’m soooo proud of my hubs! He ran it in 32 minutes which is 2 minutes faster than last month!! {For those of you who are new, this is his 3rd 5k and he’s never been a runner, I got him hooked!} My time was 30:37, which is my best time to date. I even had a super nice compliment from a stranger, she came up to me after the race and told me she was really impressed with my pace. Sooo made my day!
We had a blast and I even convinced him to do a 10k with me next month. Hopefully it’s not 95 degrees outside!
Happy Monday!
Dannnnggg Chick! That looks awesome! I would too love a pink and turquoise house. With some zebra thrown in to break up all the color.
ReplyDeleteI'm so impressed that you guys do marathons! I never would be able to, I've never been a runner. And dang lady, you're looking goood!
Oh WOW, I love it.
ReplyDeleteAlthough my hubby would be saying the same thing yours did.
I really like that pink. Fabulous. Congrats on the 5k.
ReplyDeleteBTW I am thinking of painting my car pink, ok, just wishful thinking.
Haha.

I think your husband deserves a special "husband of the decade" award for being OK with all that pink! There is no way mine would be OK with it. Congrats on the 5K pace...I'm shooting for a 12 minute mile at my next one in 4 weeks.

ReplyDeletesuch a cute little corner :-)
ReplyDeleteAnd great job with the 5k! I remember when you were telling us that your hubs agreed to run the first 5k, and now he's at #3? That is so awesome!
Love the stencil on top!
ReplyDeleteAnd awesome job on your 5K! I'm running my 3rd next month :)
I am so proud of you and the hubs for running!!! I am working my way back into it slowly. You are looking wonderful my friend!
ReplyDeleteYou are my kind of girl!! Lovin' the pink! I would so drive that SUV! LOL
ReplyDeleteDid you run the Big D this weekend? I ran that race last year and thought about doing it this year but I didn't love the 5K course, I prefer doing the ones that go around White Rock Lake.
ReplyDeleteCongrats on therace!! Im training for the 10k now :)
ReplyDeleteI'm really digging that stencil on the table! I'll also second what someone said previously about how lucky you are to have a husband that is okay with pink! I'm over here trying my best to apply gender neutral decorating. =)
