Rethinking Pink: Pink Ribbon Soaps
Pink isn't necessarily always my decorating go-to color, but since it is National Breast Cancer Awareness Month, I'm all for it. I'm tickled pink even more so if the sale of the products benefits breast cancer research. So, when I spotted these beautiful Pink Ribbon Soaps from Gianna Rose Atelier, I knew I had to share.

Nice and New: Breast Cancer Awareness Décor Products
Every October, retailers around the world sell products designed to raise money and awareness for breast cancer charities. Décor products certainly fall into this category, too. The problem is that while seeing a plethora of pink ribbon-branded items in retailers left and right may catch your eye, most products don't necessarily inspire you to decorate your homes with these items year-round.

Rethinking Pink: Pink for a Purpose Hammer
I'm a huge fan of anyone who does their own home renovations. In fact, I encourage it. I'm even happier, though, if your renos indirectly or directly benefit a charity.
Casa Craving Recap: Pink Ribbon
Yesterday marked the start of National Breast Cancer Awareness Month. So pink (as in pink ribbon) was the inspiration for this week's Casa Craving Challenge, and I asked you guys to design a stylish kitchen around this light pink color, and this SMEG '50 Style Refrigerator.
It wasn't an easy choice but the best rooms opted for a retro, '50s design, or just mid-century accents, which resonated harmoniously with the SMEG refrigerator.
Casa Craving Challenge: Pink Ribbon
Every Thursday on CasaSugar, I'll give you a decorating challenge and ask you to go Casa Craving for items that fit the look. (Here's a post explaining what a Casa Craving is and how to create one.)
The latest Casa Craving Challenge is inspired by the emblem of National Breast Cancer Awareness Month in October, the pink ribbon.
So in this Casa Craving Challenge, I’d like you to design a stylish kitchen around this light pink color.
In the News: A Renovated Cancer Hospital Chapel
Cynthia and Dan Lufkin turned the chapel of New York City's first cancer hospital — New York Cancer Hospital, built in the 1880s — into a three-level Manhattan apartment. The hospital had been in a state of disrepair for 25 years, with "rats, holes in the roof, dust, a wooden ceiling that was falling apart, missing windows, [and] plaster walls that had rotted away to the bricks." Instead of trying to recreate all of the original architectural details, they "tried to preserve a feeling of its history."
