Quote Of The Week

When witches go riding,

and black cats are seen,

the moon laughs and whispers,

‘tis near Halloween.

-Unknown

Sunday Sanctuary

Oops...I'm a day behind but, I completely blame on the Halloween festivities this weekend!!

Totally to be expected when you're partying with Slash, Axl, and Kid Rock!!

2 little Indians and a Sailor made an appearance too!!

Happy Halloween!!

Total last minute decision to dress up and celebrate...So much fun...

I'm ok with not growing up just yet!

Guest Post: By Design Shuffle

Not too long ago- Design Shuffle reached out to me and thought DC would be a perfect blog to guest post on- Of course after visiting the DS blog I happily agreed and well...here we are today with a fun post on every girls fave color pink!

Enjoy!!

Hi all, I’m Susi, a writer for Design Shuffle, an online community of designers and design lovers from around the world who share projects and ideas. I love getting to visit great design blogs, like Delightfully Chic as a guest blogger. Today's guest post is all about must-have pink wallpapers and decorating ideas for using them. Feminine and stylish, these pink wallpapers can work in so many rooms of the home. Pink wallpapers add a feminine touch that can be ultra-girly or subtle depending on the pattern. Here are eight of my must-have pink wallpapers. So pretty in pink. Enjoy!

Desire wallpaper in pink from Graham Brown is a gorgeous fancy patterned wallpaper.
Gorgeous and perfect for a bedroom.

For a feminine yet contemporary kitchen, we love this pink damask wallpaper. Paired with sleek appliances and finishes, it is an unexpected but very pretty wall treatment.

A soft rose background and white roses is a pretty combination on this pink wallpaper. Love it paired with a bright green painted bookcase.

Another beautiful pink wallpaper from Graham Brown, Lucille, is based on vintage lace from the 50s. Pretty pale pink is paired with pale grey in this lovely wallpaper.

What a great combination of pink and gold in this pretty wallpaper! Perfect for foyer, powder room or bedroom design.

Love this geometric pattern from Wallpaper from the 70s. It's called Cerberus and is a version of an onion design, popular in mid-century design. Wallpaper is one of the best dining room design ideas. Graphic and gender neutral, this wallpaper would look great in a various dining rooms.

A gorgeous rose wallpaper with an antique botanic inspired pattern looks so pretty in this bathroom. This sophisticated pattern would also be pretty pink wallpaper for a dining room.

We often see trees in interior designs, but seldom trees and pink on the same wall. Love this pretty pink wallpaper.

Perfect for a dining room and paired with golds and greens.
