Pink and gold

You know when you see a picture/image and it strikes something inside you? It inspires you?



I ordered myself a print copy (can't beat print) of Lonny Magazine Aug/Sep 2010 months ago and finally this weekend had some time to look through it carefully. This unassuming photo was from the article on Larson-Juhl (page 41).

The pink and gold seemed right. Adds a touch of luxe. A touch of old world class!
(Even though the "pink" was just molding clay before being painted!)

The colours made me go, "see!??!?!" inside and I wondered why... Then I remember using it in creating a beautiful artpiece for my sister in law's home.. and completely loving the result:



Normally I don't really like gilt frames, preferring to paint it a while or solid colour... but with pink, the gold/gilt seems to work perfectly.

SO I searched my image files for more pink and gold inspiration:

ENJOY!

The pink chairs with the gilt faux-bamboo table? Luxe!

The gorgeous French bed in pink upholstery and gilt frame!

Love the class in the wallpaper :)

Notice that the gilt side table doesn't look as good with the green as it does with the pink? I think the green adds a touch of tarnish to the gilt actually! But the pink adds a touch of warmth and blush to the lovely gilt!

See the gilt frame against the pink walls? Inspired!

Large gilt mirror against the deeper pink walls... a touch of fun, against a touch of class!
