I have some cherry blossom branches arranged in the entry hall, and they have blown open. Each flower reminds me of a fat ballet pink tutu.

Ballet pink is that evocative color, the palest of pinks, almost with a flesh undertone.

| You can get these pretty pink shoes on Etsy |
As young dancer in training I wore my fair share of ballet pink slippers and tutus. I disliked the color as a child very much, much preferring the fiery mother color of red, or the severe black of a basic leotard or a pair of black fishnet dance tights the older girls got to wear.

Now, as I myself become more pale with growing older, I have mellowed and love ballet pink as much as I see the beauty in any color.

| Martha Stewart did the ballet pink nightstand, which has the perfect flesh undertone |
So here's little ballet pink round up of images to ease us into Easter/Passover week. Get some branches with blossoms for your home this week.

I love how pink brings out my softer side--just looking at these beautiful images makes me feel a "kinder, gentler" person :)
ReplyDeleteIt happens to be my most fave color. calming. Don't have a lick of it in my house though. Those peonies...oh!
ReplyDeleteThis is a beautiful post.
ReplyDeleteI too love ballet pink, but with a housefull of men, it's difficult to sneak in. But I do! Have a wonderful Easter week.
ReplyDeleteThat Martha Stewart ballet pink nightstand is EXACTLY the paint colour I'm looking for! Thank you!
ReplyDeleteI adore ballet pink and actually compliments my skin tone well. None in my home though....I seem to gravitate to other colors. Great post Mz. V!

And don't forget the soft glow of pink lightbulbs! Oh, so flattering....
ReplyDeleteWhy yes I do.
ReplyDeleteNot a colour I can wear though - drains me.
Lovely cherry blossoms.

I think that night stand is actually by Rie of Home & Harmony. It looks familiary to me. Anyway, lovely post!
ReplyDeletei painted my bedroom an impossibly pale shade of pink called magnolia pink. it was a martha colour, no longer produced. i hope i can replicate it for some touch ups that i need to do.
