The Pink Rooster and The Pink Room!

Happy Friday, my little chicks!!

Painter finished and I started putting stuff away. Here's the room as I've started to hang things back on the walls and moved what I could back into place. Hubs will have to help me later. Don't ya just love that pink?!?! My office looks like a cupcake now. LOL


~*~

Some of you may remember my trip to California in July to visit kids and my "junket to the junque stores"! Well, if so, you might remember this post about the antique store and this little french rooster shelf. It was always meant to be painted so I did it while the painter painted my office/computer room. I'm hanging the "Pink Rooster" in there to hold whatever, but I think he needs to be in that room, don't you?!?!

~*~

I'm so excited about the pink room and these roses I could just squeeeeealll!!! Hah. But look at these perfect roses from today. Are they not gorgeous?!?!?!




Guess what???? They're not real! Yesssss, true!!! I found these roses while shopping the other day, and they are so real looking and feel so real that I could absolutely fool anyone with them. If I put a drop or two of rose scented oil in the center no one could tell they weren't an actual rose. You've got to click to enlarge them to see them up close!

Well, off to "fluff" up the office some more. Ooooooh, I have some roses to stick on the wall up around the ceiling as soon as they arrive. THIS is a girly room!

  16. Connie,

    You did such a wonderful job on your pink office. Isn't it great to walk in there and feeling the soothing feeling and the warmth of the color? I just love it. You will want to be in there ALL THE TIME now.

    It will be your private place. I hope you enjoy every minute of it.

  20. Hey Connie!
    Your office is so pretty! I love the soft pink walls and all of the use of different print fabric in your room....I wish I could have a window seat like yours. That little rooster shelf is so cute too, and I can't believe those roses aren't real....they are beautiful and what a great idea to put a drop of rose oil on them....it just doesn't get any better than that! They'll keep forever! Hope you have a great weekend!
    xoxo,

  29. I love the way your pink office looks! and I love the pink rooster.
    I was lucky enough to find an old pink rooster at an antique store a few years back. I should send her to you so you can start a pink rooster collection.
