In honor of Breast Cancer Awareness month, many design bloggers have decided to post Pink today. So, in support of a very worthy cause and in the spirit of camaraderie, I decided to mine my trove of vintage magazines for pink images. We've all heard that pink is a universally flattering color, and if it works on your face then why not on your walls, beds, and furniture too? And pink is not just for women either. Men seem to love it too.

Jennifer - fabulous images, as always (love the day bed.) It's so fun to see how the posts are so different. Thanks!
I love the vintage pictures! I am not a pink person at all, but I appreciate and admire the support of the blogging community for this incredibly important cause.
You're indulging your Inner Mid-Century Modernist!

Sarah- I agree, and it's nice to see everyone here making an effort!
PT- Who knew it was there?? Maybe I am a mid-century modernist after all ;)
I don't do pink generally, but I'm finding myself going back and checking out a few of the pieces in these shots. in particular:
the hot pink chair and that black day bed against the pink wall.
also, I'm wondering how I can work that turban into my daily ensembles.
Megan- I can't wait until I'm old enough to wear turbans. Joan Collins rocked the turban on Dynasty!
Joan Collins still looks fabulous, too. She did a short stint on daytime television a couple of years ago and looked better than women half her age. She's a classic, and yes, she did rock the turban!
That daybed is stunning, but I confess to liking pink. I always liked Mario Buatta's "Nancy" glazed chintz with pink and blue morning glories on a pinkish ground. The green of the leaves was indescribable. So pretty and fresh.
Speaking of pink, thank you for supporting this worthy cause.

Jennifer, I love the gorgeous table setting. I have a new post in honor of my cousin Sharon and a painting I created in her memory.....please take a look.
Sheila- I adore Joan Collins- she looks amazing! I don't know if I'm familiar with Buatta's chintz, but I like the sound of it.
Karena- I think today's pink theme has inspired many people! I will check out your post now.
I ADORE PINK!! THESE rooms are just lovely in pink!
Thanks for remembering those you have succumbed to breast cancer and those who are living with it.
Great vintage images! I love the first image especially. ;)
Mimilee- Pink is lovely, isn't it!
Katie- Oh I know- I love her outfit!
Jennifer -- A + for originality and grooviest pictures. The bedrooms!
I think you could rock the turban because of your Liz Taylor eyes!
Think Pink, that's my motto! These rooms are just adorable, I can only imagine what you've got stashed in your arsenal. Personally, I'd love to see more of your pink pics!
Beautiful photos, love pink! Thanks for the great post!
gorgeous pink things!~ a lovely tribute to pink for such an important cause.
Glad y'all like them. I just love those vintage photos :)
Love the vintage pics! Thanks for helping to raise awareness. (I've had breast cancer twice at a young age.)
Lecia- I hope you're healthy now and that this is now a bad chapter in your past. This is exactly why we all need to help raise awareness!
Jennifer, what a fantastic selection of pink rooms and a great post to raise awareness!
