Yes, this is my Pink Saturday post. I know it doesn't look pink up here at the top, but be patient, scroll down a bit and you'll get the pink payoff. The reason I'm not doing a big PINK SPECTACULAR today is because we're moving Emily into her apartment and that means lots of trips back and forth in the truck and unpacking. Now back to the blog.....
Thankfully BooMama postponed her Before and After extravaganza because right now my house is just a great big BEFORE. Between one daughter home from college and the other daughter moving out on Sunday AND me going crafting crazy in our dining room......well let's just say it's not a good time for company. 
countertops on the wishlist
countertops on the wishlistMy builder friends have been over twice to discuss the extensive updating my house needs and the list keeps getting longer. 
light fixture for breakfast room
Light fixtures, counter tops, moulding and trim work, caulking and painting are on the agenda for now, but I've also got Emily's cute little apartment on my mind.
light fixture for breakfast room
The DeSoto, Tampa, Florida
It's an old brick building with interior halls and lots of old building charm like high ceilings, wood floors, and my favorite: black and white floors in the tiny kitchen. The windows are huge with wide glossy white trim that goes with the wide baseboard. She's got to settle on a color scheme, though, because it's only 650 square feet. 
The bedroom is definitely going to be black and pink because she already had the linens and pictures to go in that direction.
On her wish list is the fabulous Flamingo by John James Audubon. 
I think this would make a good house warming gift, don't you?

Love the barbie pics and the pink flamingo is fabulous. I think I might try the flower thing I am sure I will be odd or something weird like that.

Hi Holley, love the pink and black prints especially those Barbie's prints. I collect vintage barbies so I am kinda leaning more towards the Barbie prints!
Love, Ann
Looks like a nice apartment building! I love the Barbie pictures and I think the *pink* flamingo pic would be a great gift! You can't go wrong with *pink*!
I am really late in commenting about your PS Post! I was out of town. I love those prints and am now officially a flamingo fan (I did a PS post on that a few weeks ago)--so I would pick that flamingo!
