Pink and purple, the traditional color combination for the girly-girl. For me it usually invokes a tooth-aching sweetness that I do not find appealing.

This room found over at Anna Leena's Hem blog has changed my mind about this color combination. Anna, with the help of her daughter, was able to put together an inspired room using rosy pink and purple with touches of green successfully; not an easy feat. For more photos of Anna's home (the rest of which is very black and white), check out her blog.
