In honour of October being Breast Cancer Awareness month, I thought I would post about my favourite colour again.  (Also note that I changed by background to pink just for fun and support for the month of October.)<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Every year, Mrs. Blandings<\/a> and a group of bloggers  post about pink to raise awareness so that women remember to do self-exams or get screened and support is given to efforts to help eradicate this horrible disease.   The annual CIBC Run for the Cure is taking place tomorrow (October 3) in 60 communities across Canada.  You can make a general donation here<\/a>.<\/div>\n

In Canada, an estimated 23,200 women will be diagnosed with breast cancer and 5,300 will die of the disease in 2010. (Article here.)<\/a><\/span><\/i><\/div>\n

I recently wrote a post<\/a> on using pink paint in the bathroom \u2013 a lovely, flattering colour choice.  I have been seeing living spaces decorated with pink (either paint or fabric) and I must say I love how it can bring a breath of fresh air to a space.  <\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
The first three lovely images are from the 2010 Atlanta Decorators\u2019 Show House<\/a>.  I love the white, taupe and pink colour palette that designer Melanie Turner<\/a> used in the sunroom.  Those drapes are stunning!  It\u2019s not too often that you see pink drapes in a room, other than a bedroom or girl\u2019s room.<\/div>\n
