All I had to do was turn the corner in my living room to find some pink and black.
We can take a closer look.
While on a shopping adventure in a vintage store, I found this print. Actually, after I posted my shopping adventure, Suzanne mentioned in a comment that "this was wrapping paper" and I thought "I think I have seen that print before" so I looked in my stash under my bed and guess what I found. I had this print all along. That confirmed I must really like this map of Paris. I have read "Paris is the most romantic city". I don't know about that but maybe some day I can check it out.
When I showed this print to Mr. VH he wasn't impressed. He said the frame was not good so he set out to put it under glass and square-up the frame. He, also, painted it black for me.
The metamorphosis was complete.
If you want to Romance your home....Inspiration is found everywhere you turn.
From the same shopping adventure, I came home with this black Underwood typewriter. The unique part that made my heart beat faster was the fact that it had a "pink" key.
If you take a closer look, the key on the top right is "pink". It is on a teeter-totter mechanism with a black key. It seems these keys were used to change the colors on the ribbon because it shifts the ribbon up and down. I guess I'm really aging myself because I remember typing on machines that did that.

Love this vignette! The framed map of Paris is really nice and then the typewriter just adds to it all. I must say my favorite are the cute pink birds! Thanks so much for joining JFF this week. hugs, Linda
ReplyDeleteWhen you said you were inspired to do a Pink and Black Vignette for your home, it went through my mind...Knowing Gail and her home...she already has pink and black somewhere. Yeah! I was right.
ReplyDeleteLove the Romancing your home theme. Gotta work on that. Lovely post as usual and so like my friend Gail.
That was very pretty. I love all the different touches you added like the pink flowers.
ReplyDeleteWhat a fun map of Paris! I love your pillow and typewriter vignette too. Take care!
ReplyDeleteVery cool vignette!! I love the pink key - the author Byrd, everythng just fits together!
ReplyDeleteWhat a great vignette-love the old typewriter!
ReplyDeleteWhat a great map of Paris...and the black frame really compliments it ~ good choice. I love the vintage typewriter, draping the flowers over just adds to the charm. All quite lovely! Thank you for visiting me(-:
ReplyDeleteI have that same map of Paris! I spent only $8 for it and thought I did sooo great! Then, I had to frame it. UGH! I spent a FORTUNE framing it. You can read all about that mis-adventure at http://tallgrassdesign.blogspot.com/2010/10/powder-room-make-over.html
ReplyDeleteYour metamorphosis is absolutely fabulous. I so hope that you enjoy every bit of it.
ReplyDeleteHave a very Happy Valentine's Day!
Gayle, pink and black is all the rage. Especially with the teenage girls. I just finished Madisanns room but it is shocking pink and black with touches of zebra. A little different than your romantic look but never the less still cute. Love your blog!!!
