Pretty in Pink

I read it in Elle Decor, so it must be true.  Pastels are in vogue again.

In fact, I’ve been noticing the trend and dabbling in it a bit this year.  At least, I’ve been drawn to the slightly more saturated versions of what we think of as pastels.  Namely, a particular shade of fuchsia I ordered for our shop last January.  They are not exactly pastel, but they have the sweetness of tone one associates with those hues.  

What really intrigues me, though, is whether the trend will keep our swooning chairs from the upholsterer.  I picked these up in 2007 at a shop in Vermont and have debated the exact nature of the ‘re-do’ ever sense.  The trendsetters may have helped me put off a decision a little longer…
