First person to shout "Pepto Bismol" pink won't be THAT far off....

Love the shade-- looks close to Benjamin Moore's "Bermuda Breeze" to me.

The picture's at least 10 years old, and I'm sure she's changed the room by now!   That's interior designer Windsor Smith for you.  She's a quirky, successful California designer who is quite eclectic, and has so many tricks up her sleeve...

When she does do a 'traditional' look, like she did in this old sitting room of hers, I like the boldness and the arty-ness of it.   And the easy, conversational way that the chairs are drawn up so you could have a good chat, or share in some iced coffee...

Not your cookie-cutter traditional.   And I'm not even fond of yellow, or yellow with pink, but her use of rich saffron yellows in this room is deft and magical, in my opinion.

Things that appealed to me:

the way the multi-paned windows play into the 'storybook' feeling of the room, the sumptuous velvets, the painted, Moroccan-type coffee table, the blue and white fabric on the camelback sofa, the pillows, the white wainscoting and pillars against the Pepto pink, the chandelier.... 

To me, it could be a timeless room in a Tudor revival house.   It's certainly English-influenced-- in the "world- traveller" feeling, and the dashing use of color.

This is a crummy image, but you get to see also the pretty blue rug she must have put down at some point.  The view into the next room ( a large, eat-in kitchen?) is tantalizing...

A little too much, my friend!

My eyes are hurting!

Huh ... interesting.  Not for me.

I'd like it better if everything that was pink was a soft apricot.  JMO, of course.

I LOVE❤ these BEAUTIFUL rooms!!💖 Each has elements that speak to me! I would feel perfectly at home in each, but the first photo, although not traditional, and the walls are striking, is one I would feel comfortable entertaining guests in.😊 I know it is not for everyone.😁

THANK you for caring to share these pretty pink photos!❤✨

~~~All we need is LOVE💖

I might like the kitchen.  But nothing in the pink room appeals to me.

There's not a thing here (except for the windows) that I would keep.  I actually find the saffron and the pink together to be somewhat nauseating.

I like pink ... but not that shade.

My pedi shop has been this color for as long as it's been open.  The owner loves pink.

I like the layout of the sitting room, but it's a little too busy for me.  The best feature is the multi-paned window.

Nope, I'd fire any designer who did that to a beautiful classical home.
