Happy Friday! With Spring in full bloom and Summer soon upon us, we have been getting some major inspiration from all the vibrant hues of the season. We are always looking for creative ways to add a little dash of color to our life. From our favorite minty green to ombre shades of blue, we seem to be a little color crazed. Aren’t you?

Have a fabulous weekend!

P.S. Are you joining us for the launch of Barb Blair’s Furniture Makeovers tomorrow?

Happy Monday! Hope you had a wonderful weekend celebrating Mom :) Here’s a little mantra to take with you through the week. What’s on your agenda?

P.S. for all you lovers of DIY or those just looking for an extra dose of inspiration, make sure to join us this Saturday, May 18th for the launch of Barb Blair’s Furniture Makeovers. RSVP today!

Happy Friday everyone! Sunday we celebrate Mom and everything she does to help make our world go round. Show her some love with breakfast in bed, a homemade card or her favorite flowers. Need more ideas? Check out pinkolive.com to find the perfect gift for her special day. And, to all you moms and moms-to-be, Happy Mother’s Day! xoxo

Have a fabulous weekend!

Happy Tuesday,

If there is one thing the change of seasons always inspires in me, it’s a need to refresh things in my life. Be it searching for a new spring dress, bringing new blooms into my apartment, or coming up with some new ideas to infuse into my business, I’m always looking for creative ways to spice things up. This year, however, with the influx of DIY into my life, I’ve been wondering if there’s something I already have that I can transform into something new. Enter my good friend Barb Blair’s new book, Furniture Makeovers!

Chock full of “simple techniques for transforming furniture with paint, stains, paper, stencils, and more” you’ll be able to breathe new life into your home without breaking the bank. Her creations are gorgeous too; going way beyond just repainting shelves to include neat techniques like waxing, projecting, decoupage and dry brushing that she applies to decorative bits and pieces, chairs, oak chests, side tables, and other furniture we all have lying around our homes. Her instructions are easy to follow, with bright pictures and step by step directions.

One flip through this book and you’ll be combing through your home looking for pieces you can makeover. Anyone, with any budget and skill level, can make  beautiful pieces of art out of furniture they already own. “Furniture Makeovers will inspire you to roll up your sleeves and get started.” Who’s ready for some before and after?

We are so excited to announce that Barb Blair will be coming to NYC on May 18th for a special book signing event at Pink Olive. Space is limited so please RSVP here. She can’t wait to “meet” you!

Have a great week!

After a week spent consumed in tragedy, it’s hard not to begin to search for those images and stories that warm the heart and inspire the goodness in humanity. From the fearless first responders to all the victims and their families to the entire communities of Boston and West, Texas, our thoughts and prayers are with you. xoxo

Happy Monday! There’s no better feeling than a de-cluttered home, an organized closet and a well-dressed space. So, this week is all about the spring cleaning! Here’s a little inspiration to kickstart your new beginnings. Cheers to revamping and revitalizing your favorite spaces.

Happy Friday! With the onset of warmer temps this week, the flowers are suddenly in bloom! And since nothing says spring quite like flowers, it’s time to celebrate (and enjoy) trips to the farmer’s market, a new garden, strolls through the parks or just a sweet arrangement that dresses up your dinner table. Have a great weekend :)

PS. For those of you in NYC, get your blooms-to-go at our East Village weekend pop-up shop by 2hflowers!

Happy Monday! It’s FINALLY feeling like spring, and we couldn’t be more excited to start enjoying our days outside. With a week full of temps in the 60s and 70s, we have plenty of activities planned to embrace these warmer nights – sounds like pure happiness to us :)

What’s on your agenda this week?

We seem to be having a little “mint fever” this spring! From our kitchens to our closets, mint seems to be popping up everywhere as the color of the season – and we couldn’t be happier about it. It is fun, fresh and inspiring – exactly what spring is all about!

What color is inspiring you these days?

Ps. Make sure to stop by our East Village location this weekend to pick up some gorgeous blooms by 2hflowers!

Happy Tuesday!

Hope you had a nice weekend!

We were so excited to be a part of the Miss America homecoming event held in honor of Mallory Hagan. We were asked to put together an exclusive Pink Olive New York gift set, filled with our favorite New York inspired goodies, to welcome her back to our home (and neighborhood)… she just so happens to be from Park Slope :). Congrats to Mallory and best of luck to her in her new adventures as Miss America!
