A home tour on Apartment Therapy yesterday featured a hot pink dining room that inspired this roundup. The pink was bold, bright and just all around wonderful. Plus, I just parted with some pink walls of my own, so I could be missing them a bit!

Pink is one of my favorite colors and can really make a statement in a home. Do you have any daring pink pieces in your home?

Shown above:

1) Trina Turk Greek Key Pillow
2) Magenta Coffee Table
3) Cuckoo Clock
4) Hot Pink Photographic Print
5) Bold Pink Strip Giclee Shade Arc Floor Lamp
6) Hot Pink Chesterfield Sofa

With temperatures that keep on rising, we can’t forget to show our pups some love during the heat wave! The Paw Pool is the perfect solution to give your pet a dedicated area to cool off from the summer sun.

For larger dogs, there is also a Bone Pool that gives them more room to rinse off.

If you’re a person that loves to pamper your pet, either of these puppy pools can be purchased at One Dog One Bone.

Blue Lagoon in Iceland

Amankila in Bali

There’s a heat wave dancing across the United States this week, with temperatures expected to hit triple digits throughout the country.

We thought the most appropriate way to prepare for the heat was to dream about taking a dip in some of the world’s most gorgeous and luxurious pools. From Iceland to Thailand to Bali, we found these three gorgeous pools with beautiful designs and even more beautiful surroundings.

Although we’ll be escaping the heat in our boring little backyard pool, it’s still fun to think about some lavish pools! How are you planning to escape the heat? Are there any beautiful pools you’re dreaming about?

A quick, easy way to add textures, colors and patterns to your bedroom without breaking the bank is by cutting out a wallpaper headboard.

It gives you the freedom to choose any color palette and pattern that you desire, and you can easily change it whenever you tire of the pattern. I’d probably change mine every six months!

Would you put a wallpaper headboard in your bedroom?

I’m currently in the middle of choosing paint colors for four rooms. My initial plan was to stay in the same saturation family to make the rooms flow together, but now I’ve hit a wall (ha!) and can’t decide on the fourth room.

So, my question is – what are your tips for choosing paint colors?! Do you worry about the rooms flowing together or just go with what you like and hope it works?
