“We should paint around the dining room window a soft pink…it will look amazing.” This was the text I received from Jason last week accompanied by the below photo (for reference) that made my jaw quite literally hit the floor.
Um, is this some sort of joke? Of COURSE I want a pale pink dining room, are you kidding me?! However my response was simply “Love it!”
You see, one can’t get overly excited in moments like these. In fact when your husband shoots out an idea that seems too good to be true, it’s always best to proceed with caution. Don’t go sampling a million pink paint colors all over the walls and invite him to a secret shared Pinterest board called “Pretty in Pink Dining Rooms.” No, that just won’t do.
These actions will likely cause him to rethink his momentary spark of genius. No, proceed with extreme caution…and then paint that room with a feverish quickness and thank your lucky stars that you married a design savvy man.
Real men wear, and evidently live in, pink! So, what do you think? Would you paint your dining room pink?
Pale pink dining room coming soon…

You KNOW I would! Just remember, the color changes in different lighting. Pale turns to Pepto in a blink of an eye.
Leah Bergman says
Haha! Pepto by candlelight. Romantic! Not.

Hello!
I’m not sure if I would paint my dining room, or any room, pink, but these dining room pictures look so pretty and refreshing. I guess we have to dare and create something amazing.
Leah Bergman says
I never thought I would be a pink room kind of person either. If it’s awful I can always paint it back to light grey. 😉
Kat says
OMG yes! I’m lucky enough to have a husband who both wears and lives in pink – our master bedroom is a pale pink right now, and I would definitely paint my dining room, kitchen, living room, every room pink!
Leah Bergman says
That’s awesome! Do you have a specific light pink paint color that you love and would recommend?
Tammy Thiele says
Oh my gosh, yes! Though I would fall over if I ever received a text like that from my husband! I don’t think he’s quite there yet…it would take some convincing. Can’t wait to see how yours turns out!
Leah Bergman says
I pretty much DID fall over reading his text. lol
Jen Kessler says
um, yes! I am totally in love with this pale pink wall idea for the dining room! Can’t wait to see how yours looks!
