I am so excited to kick off my new series with another Cassie! Hi Sugarplum! is Cassie’s blog, where she shares her projects around her home. She is super talented and has a great eye for color, and a strong love of pink, so without further ado, Cassie, take it away!

Hi! I’m Cassie from Hi Sugarplum! I was thrilled when Cassie asked me to talk about one of my favorite subjects….COLOR! More specifically……

Clearly it’s a hot color, especially since Pantone named Honeysuckle their Color of the Year.

And soon after, House Beautiful dedicated an issue to the perfectness of pink.

If you google ‘Pink Rooms’, there is endless inspiration, whether it be in large doses:


House Beautiful


Or a small pop:


Laura Casey Interiors

 A bold hue:

Or a dreamy shade:


Country Living


Of course it makes a gorgeous little girl’s room:

But I’d be thrilled to be a guest in this bedroom even when I’m 80!

I have been infusing pink into my home for awhile, but with all this inspiration, I think I’ll be adding more! It is just a flattering color that glorifies happiness to me. If you are nervous about this bold hue, you could add pink to a lesser-seen nook, like I did in my coat closet.

Or add a subtle touch to an accessory like my tray.

Redoing my little girl’s room has given me all kinds of opportunities to work with pink.

Clearly Elle Woods and I have the love of pink in common. I’ve even hosed my blog down in the punchy color!
Thank you for allowing me to indulge in my love affair of pink, Cassie!

    Amazing post Sugarplum Cassie. I LOVE pink so much too. You have given a great take on it. I’m “orange” next week and you are going to be a tough act to follow! Unbelievable start to “a colorful world”…..

    Take care,

    Great pink inspiration! I think it would be fun to do a bold pink wall in a bathroom such as that pink in the House Beautiful photo. I love Cassie’s daughter’s bedroom. Wonderful post!

    Cassie’s got an eye for all things pretty, and pink!! I LOVE the pink she added to her closet, how fantastic is that idea? Every time you’d open it how could you not smile??

    Great post Cassie! I love the way you use color and one of my favorites is yellow & pink together. Those images of the blue & white porcelain in the pink rooms are gorgeous!
