By: Alicia Feb 22, 2013

Ayla's bedroom reveal
Last year was full of changes for our family, and in particular for my daughter. A new house, a new brother, and a new pre-school. That's why, when I started thinking about how to design her new room in the Curbly House, I wanted it to be perfect, inspiring, cozy, and hers. The day we moved in, Ayla's room was the most done room in the house, and to date, it's the only done room in the house. This room was my baby, and it's for my baby, so today I'm going to show you more pictures than a proud grandma stores in her wallet. Let's go!

Now THAT'S a Pink Kitchen

By: Diy maven Dec 20, 2011

created at: 12/20/2011

I have nothing against pink. Really, I don't. But--you knew that was coming, didn't you?--when I saw this pink kitchen in a custom millwork's gallery recently, I let loose a 'whoa'. It wasn't for the color itself but for the extent of its use. Refrigerator panel, backsplash and walls? What do you think? Is it pretty in pink or positively… Continue Reading

But we did manage to get a few things done, and I just wanted to give you a peek at where we're at so… Continue Reading

Industrial loft with some splashes of pink

When you picture an industrial interior, do you also picture pink? I know I don't, which is why this space made my eyebrows do that one up/one down thing they sometimes do when I'm confused. Initially, I wasn't… Continue Reading

Do you like pink?

By: Diy maven May 22, 2007

If the answer is yes, you must check out The Pink Superstore, which sells pink things. Although, perfect for pink fans it’s also a great place to find unique bridal and baby shower gifts.

My favorite is their pink Floating AM FM Ducky Radio ($20). Couple this with some Jessie B Pink bubble bath and… Continue Reading
