How cute is this bathroom? 😍

Representing the feng shui element of earth and known as the color of love, pink can be used to enhance feelings of love in familial, friendly, and romantic relationships. This color is best used in intimate shared spaces like a bathroom or bedroom. With a variety of pink hues, you can harness everything from the inner warmth of pale pink to the passionate energy of a bold magenta. If you’re looking to add this sensitive color without painting your walls, try adding pink accents through curtains, towels, flowers, carpet, or tile.

What's your next kitchen project? ⬇️

When you’re planning your kitchen renovation, opt for an open floor plan or eat-in kitchen to create an inviting space for guests. Connect the kitchen to the dining area with a large table and plenty of seating. You can even rearrange your kitchen floor plan to optimize the layout of your refrigerator, dishwasher, and lower cabinets. Plus, eat-in kitchens are a desirable home feature that can pay off when it’s time to sell!
