I just found your AP house tour and got smitten with those signs in your hutch ("eat" & "drink")... may I ask where you found them?! They're so beautiful, I must have them! :) Off topic but…

She has one of those small $3 rugs from IKEA by her bowl, so she won't carry food around the apartment. Too funny – my dog will only eat on carpet too.

THe dog will prove to be better than a vacuum but not when it comes to bananas, corn and pears.I swear the floor around the high chair has a magnet on it...no matter what you put down food will find a way off!

It's not as dark and rich in person and definitely skews blue, but the most noticeably thing about it was that it looked really drab and I thought it would bring the room down.

The suggestions to punch it up with b/w stripes sound good, but have you considered a warmer neutral, between a grey and a taupe? Maybe scatter a few tiles of the bold pink from the wall paper to tie it into the color palette a little better. I love your blog and really enjoy seeing your home evolve. I don't know that I could ever get my husband to accept pink into our main color scheme, but you do it so flawlessly, that he might not even notice that you use a lot of pink... I love it! Keep up the great work, and I hope you find a solution you are happy with. I agree that the grey reads really blue with your warm pinks, taupe, and wood tones.

And my dog insists on eating on the rug too, so bizarre. Well, I like the rug in your dining room but I don’t live there so my opinion probably doesn’t count for much lol.

I don't think it's too blue at all. And every time I see your Anthropologie chair (that's right, isn't it?) all I can think is "I *love* that chair!" I quite like the new flooring.

I think it would look amazing with a rug similar to the IKEA above! I don’t see the floor as too blue, but that could just be my computer.
