Anyone who knows me knows how obsessed I am about pastels — specifically pink and aqua– and shabby chic decor. I’ve managed to marry the two to create A Lovely Shabby Chic Color Palette.

This inspiration photo has it all! The soft airy colors I love and adore and a beautiful pink rose. Oh how I love a pink rose! When I was in high school on my birthday my mom, aunt and grandma would surprise me with the most beautiful bouquet of pink roses. The number of roses would correspond with the age I was turing for that particular birthday. The bouquet’s were the dreamiest arrangements you have ever seen. That moment and the feeling I felt when I set eyes on my special bouquet is one I will never forget–it was everything. The women in my life always knew how to make you feel incredible special everyday, but particularly on your special day. They always went above and beyond for us.

I am swooning over this delicate palette. The sweet color palette fills my mind with so many ideas for a bridal shower, baby shower, engagement party, wedding, quinceanera or even a room makeover. The possibilities are endless!
