And Strepsy, they had some stuff in a ghastly lime green / pink combination so obviously THEY don't think it clashes - or if it does, it doesn't matter.

Oh no no no, my family would have me locked up if I tried it. lol



As for the pink stuff I think spray painting is a very good idea. Get a few choice pieces in pink and accessorise with some spray painted ones. You could even get like a metallic pink spray that's meant for a car maybe? That would be lush.

Unfortunately since gaining a hubby and children I've had to suppress my pink side a little. I'm sure your kitchen will look fab!

Absolutely not

Spotted in my local Tesco this morning a fushia pink plastic jelly mould you could maybe use as a fruit bowl

I tend to go more for a fushia pink than baby pink

That's my problem with most of the kitchen stuff: there's suddenly a lot of baby pink around. Was in a kitchen shop the other day and they had cast iron casseroles in baby pink with a % of the price going to Cancer Research. Also pink kettles, toasters, storage canisters etc. But ALL baby pink.

I was almost tempted by a bin and cutlery drainer but then realised they weren't pink, they were dark red.

when I decorated my sitting room in cream I chose a fushia type paint for the window wall which started my "pink fetish"

:rotfl: Now THAT would get me locked up! I'd be thoroughly outvoted by the boys ...

BTW, for anyone allowed to indulge their fuschia pink fetish in the bathroom, I got toothmug, soap dish etc from various places, including Boots, Asda (I think!) and Debenhams. My towels, flannels and bathmat were all definitely Debenhams.

I got a pan stand in that thick type plastic in a fushia pink in Homebase kitchen area, they also had pot holder I think. In fact my daughter uses
it for laying her hair straighners on and its great.

Thanks for the tip on bathroom stuff but sadly my accent colour in the bathroom is red

went into superdrug today and got a lovely pink retro kitchen clock it had a kitchen timer on it for £4.99 and two pink storage jars from there for £1.99 each i also managed to get a pink colander from matalan for £5,i have been watching some of the pink stuff on ebay and cant believe the prices people will pay someone had bidded £14.39 on the exact same kettle i bought from m&s for £9.50 and someone has bid £21.89(with £12.75 p&p) for the same set of saucepans i also got from m&s for £15 they will be gutted when they get them when they realise where they are from cos the price is on the boxes the ebayers dont say they are for M&S though but they are

Unfortunately not but do post if you find some, I would love those! Mind you on second thoughts, they'd clash terribly with the inherited green sink in this house. lol.



Just thought i would let you know i managed to track down a pink bowl set like those on ebay,i emailed addis customer service and they replied that they were a limited addition and the majority of stock was sent to TJ HUGHES but they had a bit of remaining stock there they were £15 per set plus £3.50 p&p so i sent for one and it arrived this morning you get a pink bin,bowl,cutlery drainer and brush.
