i love that pink

I'm convinced.

love that, I am doing mine hot pink once once I do the bedroom.

I love that carpet...anyone know where it is from?

Never underestimate the ability of AT commenters to hone in on the most negative possible aspect of a simple, charming little project. It's exhausting.

BTW: I love the pink. Well done.

i painted my closet pink last summer and i absolutly love it! it's so much more fun to be in there...and it makes my skin glow and look lovely in the mirror.

I like it. And it would brighten my day to open the door and see the pink.

If a pink closet brightens your day for 2 seconds, go for it - or whatever works for you. Seems a silly little thing, but I know I used to have my favorite Far Side cartoons taped on the inside of my kitchen cabinet doors, and they never failed to make me smile whenever I opened a door.

Beyond making one feel good to look at, pale pink is an amazing background to any skin tone, so a pale pink walk-in closet is a great idea for that reason too.

KTG - I certainly see your point, but I think that if someone has a closet that needs painting anyway due to scuffed walls or general dinginess (as I do) - why not paint it a happy color rather than plain white or Navaho Beige?

I have a walk-in closet that I've been thinking about painting soft pink just for how it complements any skin tone. The closet is completely empty now until we put floors and organizers in, but I plan to make it a very special place in my home. A grown up version of my childhood fort, if you will.

One wall will be covered in framed art and frivolity - all the bits and pieces and etsy finds that I wouldn't want strewn around the "shared" areas of my house.

I painted my laundry closet pale pink a few weeks ago. With one wall of pink up, I thought it looked great. With four walls of pink up, it looked terrible. TERRIBLE! It was like a cave...a glowing, candy cave. I immediately mixed up a new color and painted it a sunny, pale yellow.

I lurve the coffee table in that photo--anyone know where it's from?

I would be concerned with being able to see the color of my clothes. Doesn't the pink skew the darker colors?

Man, people can get so cranky here. I think it's a cute idea but not necessary, of course. It might be a good way to use up some leftover paint (for those times when you're itching for some kind of home improvement project to do). This is no sillier than being a bit picky about the shelf liner paper you use in the pantry. No one will see it, but it does make a difference. Small details are what make a place unique and home.

I see two totally different colors in that closet -- a pink/coral above the shelf and lilac below. Is that just the lighting/my computer/my eyes?

i think this looks really great, i love the color.

i skim coated and painted the insides of my closets in colors that i am not brave enough to commit to painting a whole room.
even though its a small change, it really does make the whole apartment feel better. for me anyway, i feel like i am less likely to fill my closets with junk if they look good.

Where can I get a metal bar like the one they have in this closet?
