Color Crave: Watermelon!

You can pretty much count on Mother Nature to get it right. 

And she sure got it really right with the bright watery pink and the light to dark greens of the delicious and beautiful Watermelon! 

As pretty as these look (and taste) cut up in a bowl, why not bring this color combo into your home? 

Here are some yummy examples of how to do just that. 

From the late great Domino, we bring you a moss green velvet sofa in a silvery neutral room... with a splash of bright pink brought in with the arm chair. 

It just livens the room up so much! 

We are super in heart with this room. 

Chartreuse walls, white bedding and then a very subtle little flash of watermelon in the beautiful headboard. WOW. I'm jealous. 

This is a pretty dramatic room, but the use of all white furniture let the fun walls sing. 

You could really feel like a pretty preppy watermelon loving princess in this room. 

You got to love the bold color combinations going on in this room!

Chartreuse, pink, navy and creme. 

Very bold, but it pays off.

And one of our decor crushes, Miss Ruthie Sommers lays her subtle hand on this rom and makes watermelon magic. 

Really with the half green half pink upholstered armchair in the corner? 

Really with the crazy pink footstool/coffee table combo? 

Thank you Ruthie for always giving us inspiration. 

Now, I am aware that this room is lacking the green to make it a true watermelon mix up, 

But I fell for all the delicious white and creams and how nicely the watermelon pink adds a sweet pop of color. Maybe they just need to add a few green books into the cute pink piles on the table and viola! 

(Plus the picture over the sofa is crazy cool!)

Same can be said for this amazing comfy looking sofa from a feature in Domino, Look how fun and bright that sofa is! 

Now imagine this Madeline Weinrib rug underneath. 

Yummy!

Or try building a room around Madeline Weinrib's beautiful watermelon pink 

Westley rug.

How amazing would this green bamboo chair look on this rug? 

Even if the rest of your room is neutrals try and add in a little juice with these watermelon hued accents.

Pillows are such an easy way to bring color into your home. You can always change them out when you get your next color crave. 

Can you believe that we found this? This Rex Ray print is actually like a picture of watermelons. 

The color combo and the ovals are spot on. 

You can get one over at Mr. Adler's J'adorble shop. 

Also from the mad mind of Mr. Adler comes this insane bright pink throw. 

Done for his Barbie collection, I think on a moss green bench this would most certainly bring out the watermelon in your home. 

Decorating is fun! Don't be afraid to take some risks, chances are they will pay off!

Color Crave: Pink..not just for girlie girls

Ok, now being the walking contradictions that we at T-W-H are, we just would like to say... we heart pink!   Yes, people...pink.... its not just for the girlie girls but us tom-boys lurve it too.  

There is something so sinfully sweet about girls who love to wear boots or converse and throw on a pair of dirty jeans rather than a skirt, loving the color pink.  

Maybe its because we strayed away from it our entire childhood because all of the girlie girls loved it and we were too cool and tough to like it... or maybe it's because dirt bikes and skate boards didnt come in pink.  

But what ever the reason is, we heart it now, it's super cute and refreshing.  When paired with rock and roll chic or "punk" details or just on it's own, pink is rad.  Its not just for bubble gum and bows. (although of course now we like those too)

Now, we all know that pink lipstick has been in our hearts (well some of us '80s lovers hearts...) for a while... but Princess Rihanna takes it to a whole other level.  

While the uber models and makeup artists make us crazy with fuchsia lips on every spring runway...its super hard to pull off.  But RiRi makes it work!  

Her super cute hardcore pixie cut, combine with ridiculously amazing navy cat-eyes and bubblegum lipstick is stupid! (in our dictionary here at T-W-H, stupid is a term of endearment only... never as its usually intended...ever!)  

Its even better when thrown in with something that it doesn't really belong with at all like the vintage styling and the hardcore details of the nail heads of this wing back chair.  

 

If our fake girlfriend, Kelly Wearstler (swoooon) ever taught us anything, its that things are amazing and unexplainably chic when they are tweaked ever so slightly or used where they probably shouldn't be.  

Her almost ugly pink and mauve 80's room is so off, it becomes totally interesting and crazy chic.  

Her use of texture and fun, mixed with the ultimate styling makes this room a K.W. winner.

Last, but not at all the bit least... its gorgeous and perfectly imperfect when paired with one of Earth's amazing creatures...Pinkie the dolphin!  

Come on!!  It doesn't get any better than a pink dolphin.  See!  

Even she knows that pink is the new black, especially cool when its in a place where it doesn't belong.

And pink doesn't always have to be crazy or perfectly out of place...it can be peaceful and calming too.  

Have a  fun, pink-filled weekend!

So yes, Dr. Adler designed Miss. B's new digs.  

Check out his amazing use of textures, colors and shapes.   Its a perfect mixture of classic modern, glamour, and best of all well rounded fun.  Such a hard thing to achieve and yet he does it everytime with ease.
