Spring Colors for Cottage Style Furniture

Our color inspiration here at the Pink Pig for Spring came from a recent treasure hunt I spoke about on an earlier post. A former Bed & Breakfast here in the Adirondacks was filled with bedrooms full of antique Cottage Furniture in this perfect shade of pale green.

I remember walking from bedroom to bedroom hoping to find more treasures. I caught a glimpse of myself from a dresser mirror and realized that I had a big smile on my face. I chuckled because it was the upbeat and happy color of these wonderful pieces of a bygone era that really made me smile.

Beautiful beds....charming dressers...small side tables, all in this most perfect shade of green. I took all these treasures back to the shop and decided that I would leave these pretty finds untouched from painting to keep their sense of style through this amazing color.

I love this shade of green as a way to add a splash of color in any room. As I glanced around the shop, I realized I managed to fill it with other finds in a variation of this same happy color....like this Faith, Hope & Charity Sign.

French Floral Pillows on a dreamy white sofa.

A beautiful hand-painted Torchiere lamp, my wicker front porch settee or even my vintage green glass bottles which I use for display.

A ribbon necklace done in hushed teal with pale brown trim - rough aquamarine stones dangle below and can be worn as a necklace or wrapped around your wrist as worn as a bracelet.

Vintage tin heart ornament made using antique ceiling tin adorned with an vintage crystal chandelier prism and then hung on a pretty matching ribbon.

Imagine this - coming from a gal who names her shop the Pink Pig. Anyway my new color inspiration this Spring is green and I welcome your thoughts and comments on what your favorite decorating color is and how you use it for inspiration in your home.

It's April in Paris at the Pink Pig

Paris Inspired Decor - What's new and exciting?


Some new merchandise has arrived at the store that I'm excited about and thought I would share.

Beautiful glassware perfect for that Sunday Brunch you may be planning. A pretty Paris wine bottle set which includes a set of (2) wine glasses. A beautiful glass Apothecary Jar with the word "Paris" etched on front would look fabulous filled with your favorite soap.

For your walls, pretty vintage inspired postcard prints under glass by Hardenbrook Studio.

Pretty new heart charms by Cathy Penton have arrived and would make a perfect gift for Mothers Day. All one-of-a kind, these pretty charms are strung on a black ribbon and come in their own velvet pouch.


The store now has a Garden Category so check back often as I continue to fill it with pretty urns, vintage outdoor furniture and salvage pieces I have found just for you!

Profitez du printemps! Enjoy Spring!
