I am drawn to pink roses. I just love them. I thought today I’d show you just a few of the things around my home with pink roses on them.
My stoneware is Pfaltzgraff’s Tea Rose pattern.
My living room furniture has pink roses in the fabric pattern.
This is a small topiary that I found at our Christian bookstore.
These aren’t pink, but I deliberately chose sheers with roses in the lace pattern. 🙂 The swags that go over these are also pink with very light roses in the pattern.
I bought the little heart-shaped vase and my husband bought the taller figure for me. I think it is possibly supposed to be a candle holder, but I have never put a candle in it. And you see a little of the living room wallpaper with pink roses on it behind them.
My husband bought this for me (doesn’t he have good taste? 🙂 ) I love how it fits in with the wallpaper. I am sorry it is dark and not very clear — I was having a hard time trying not to get my reflection in the glass and not having a glare from the flash.
I was delighted to find this for $2 or $3 at Hobby Lobby!
I didn’t get this just for the pink roses on the front. 🙂 It has beautiful letters, sayings, and illustrations in it. I got it at the Cracker Barrel restaurant years ago.
I also got this little pillow at Cracker Barrel. Some day I want to learn how to do ribbon embroidery.
Some friends from church bought a little coffee and gift shop and turned it into a restaurant. They sold off all the little gifts at clearance prices and this little miniature armoire was one I couldn’t resist.
I got tis print for about $6 at a frame shop and then found an inexpensive mat and frame for it. I loved everything about it — the Victorian feel, the peacefulness of the feel, the girl reading (another love of mine!), and the roses.
My husband got this for me at our Christian bookstore.
This is the carpet on our bedroom floor. It was here when we got here and probably has been here for ages — its discolored in places, but I just love it.
I got this years ago at a Home Interiors party and loved the front porch with flowers and the mom stopping what she was doing to hug her child and see what he had drawn.
Outside:
With the exception of the big wall print my husband bought, most of it wasn’t much money at all.
I know too much pink and too many roses can seem too sweet and cloying, and really, believe it or not, I try not to let it overpower the house. We do have some rooms with little or no pink or roses in them, my concession to living with all males. My husband doesn’t mind, but my sons complained about “all the flowers” when they were younger. I think they’ve gotten used to it now…though they may have been trying to tell me something here:

All your roses are quite lovely. The rose scent is just about my favorite.
The dinosaur? Adorable.
Love all of it – even the dinosaur!
What beautiful things. Love the last photo.
I have that same little pot of pink roses. In a house of all boys I really had the need one afternoon for a splash of pink. When I found this little treasure, I was so pleased. Thanks for sharing!
Oh, I especially love the green pillow. Very pretty.
OHH, I just adore pink–everything in your home is just lovely. Thank you so much for sharing.

Isn’t it wonderful what can be done with pink roses! And I see even Mr. Blue Dinosaur is impressed with them. Beautiful.
Pink roses are very delicate. I like them too! The photos are BEAUTIFUL and you have lots of lovely decorative items.
I think I’ve mentioned before that I have a pink rose photo as my desktop wallpaper.
Have a wonderful weekend!
I love roses, too! I haven gotten quite a few things from my grandmother with roses on it. I enjoyed seeing your collection. Very lovely.
The dinosaur cracked me up! ;o)

Hi Barbara,
I don’t think I have ever seen a home with so many roses in so many forms – how lovely! Thank you for visiting my blog. This Show and Tell Friday has opened up a whole new world of blogging friends!

I love all your PINK roses, especially the carpet! I used to have the same Tea Roses china, still love it, but sold it to my neighbor when we moved into this house with all yellows/golds!
