[@cindygarrison6338]

The room is perfect. Quiet, restful, and I cannot imagine any man having an issue with the beautiful color. Once I was a docent in a design house. I was assigned to the room that was pink. I noticed a lot of positive comments and people asked the name of the color. At the end of the day, I realized people really look well in pink rooms. It flatters skin tone. I agree that pink can be way too sweet. But if you get the right color it's really a wonderful thing.

[@TØGITR]

Agree! I have a pale pink in my bathroom since it makes me look better in the first light of day! 😏

[@helenpiispanen8702]

Cindy Garrison I also can not imagine any man having an issue with this colour or this gorgeous room. Nicolas did good with decorating his bedroom, he is so talented. It looks more than perfect!😊💖

[@cbisme6414]

@@NicolasFairford you might be surprised to know that PINK was actually the colour for boys, I don't know when it became blue for boy and pink for girls. At the end of the day it should be any colour you like.

[@katehobbs2008]

I painted my last bedroom a pale pink that was so subtle that it almost looked grey, I absolutely loved it, it glowed gently at night. Maybe it is the colour repro, but that wall colour on my TV looks more peach or almost tan. But still a very lovely colour. 🇦🇺

[@babyfefe999]

Dear Nicolas, This video inspired me to buy an end bench for my bed. When you said it really makes the room and completes it, those words moved me. I'm so glad I got one now. It makes a world of a difference.

[@cindydavison5278]

Great tip of how a warm undertone of yellow lends a masculine feel to the color pink. Loved your accent colors in the linens and upholstery, too. My question for next weeks Q and A is: in decorating a room, do you start with the flooring, upholstery colors and patterns or the wall color? And.... how do you feel about wallpaper?

[@NicolasFairford]

I’m glad you like the paint colour! X x

[@Glowithin0]

Oh Nicolas dear, your bedroom makeover is absolutely beautiful. You are such an exceptionally talented person with the soul of an angel.

I think it was a bit unnecessary of him to keep mentioning "feminine" as negative and "more masculine" as a positive, almost in a defensive way. Could have done the same description without those undertones.

I hope you are putting all these projects together for a future book on decorating. The pink 02 does not actually read "pinkish" to the eye. It's more like a warm pink with peach undertones.
