In honor of the Pink month of October, interior photos of the Pink Palace


The pink month of October is winding down, but my last post of the month is in honor of all the brave women who face breast cancer, the doctors and nurses who treat women with breast cancer and the researchers who search for a cure. I give you the interiors of the Pink Palace, previously posted about here, designed by Neel Reid, Philip Shutze and the firm of Hentz, Reid and Adler. This is the Calhoun house in Atlanta, also known as Trygveson.

At right are doors in the living room, also called the ballroom.

Have a great weekend everyone!

  2. Do you mean the breakfast room? I didn't get any good shots of it - the lighting didn't work for my camera...it is very bright!
