A Pretty in Pink House in East Nashville

Social media influencer and retro connoisseur Beverly Griffith @thehouseofadora has created a gorgeous shrine to the color pink in her historic East Nashville home. Beverly painted her home in 2021 and "it's gone crazy since then," she says, often booked as a location for photo and music video shoots for Kacey Musgraves, British-born and Nashville-based singer Yola and Hawthorne Heights.

Homeowner and Influencer Beverly Griffith Brings the Glamour

The woman behind The House of Adora is an avid collector with a special love of telephones, mirrors and vintage items from the Sixties and Seventies. Her design sweet spot is a blend of Hollywood Regency and Eighties Postmodernism. Her Nashville home is a museum of design trends come and gone that she blends into a vibrant whole. "I buy something and if it doesn't work, I sell it" says Beverly of a space that is "always a work in progress."

The Power of a Pink Entry

It's hard to deny the sense of welcome, fun and curiosity about what lurks inside delivered in Beverly's gorgeous Valentine's Day card entry defined by a vintage Peacock Chair. Naysayers have told Beverly her home would drop in value when she painted it pink, but the opposite is true: her home has become a local and even national testament to the power of tailoring your home to your personal tastes. All of the exterior pinks on the home are from Farrell-Calhoun and include Garden Glory 1106 on the body of the house, Dollie 1115 on the house trim and Pink Explosion 1108 on the porch and doors.

A Dramatic Welcome in This Flamboyant Foyer

Beverly found the gilt cage sourced from Nordstrom's at a local vintage store. The lace curtains on the front door diffuse light and add a little privacy. Inspired by the '60s and '70s, Beverly's signature style is Americana luxe with nods to Elvis, Las Vegas, Jayne Mansfield and old Hollywood.

This Ruby Bedroom Is a Slice of Vegas in the South

Always in search of an amazing retro find, Beverly hit the jackpot with this circular clamshell bed that boasts a radio, 8-track player and lights in the headboard and some major Elvis-style glam (though amazingly, Beverly has never been to Graceland). Beverly finds her vintage treasures on Facebook Marketplace, Instagram and estate sales and has driven as far as Columbus, Ohio for a great find. If she finds a deal she can't pass up but isn't able to make the drive, Beverly often uses uShip. But her compact SUV is surprisingly accommodating she says. "People are like, 'that's not going to fit,'" and she says "watch me."

A Rich Red Bedroom Designed for Serious Rest

This bedroom with its red shag walls and this Byzantine style lamp is meant to be cozy, enveloping and ideal for a seriously good night's rest. "I don't understand not using color" says Beverly of her aggressive leaning in to pink, red, green, cobalt blue, orange and rust in her historic home. The vintage telephone is one of the 15+ that Beverly has in her collection. "They make very good props" she says, for the many photo shoots that have happened at her home.

This Bathroom Demonstrates the Versatility of Pink

Beverly's single bathroom is all-in when it comes to pink: pink tile, pink tub, even pink toilet paper. The fuchsia tile on the floor and walls has a subtle pattern and was sourced on Zazzle. Beverly has contrasted all of that pink with sparkly gold accents.

The Beauty Is in the Vintage Details in This Stunning Bathroom

An ornate swan faucet and luxe gold mirror complement the many shades of pink in this bathroom. Panthers, jaguars, swans and flamingos are the retro animal design flourishes you can find throughout Beverly's home.

Red and Pink Rooms Beckon From This Olive Green Hallway

Pink and red are recurring motifs in Beverly's 1,500 square foot space where she has given each room its own color palette and vibe, making the most of the unique quirks of this 1915 vintage home.

A Party-Ready Hallway

Disco balls, a bunny chair and furry heart wallcovering strike a note of playful excess in this hallway leading from Beverly's bedrooms to the kitchen and living area. Beverly says she finds her inspiration for her own home in "Palm Springs time-capsule homes from the Sixties and Seventies that I often refer back to to get inspired." She is a fan of their "very over the top and gaudy and colorful" vibe.

More Pink and Gold in This Retro Luxe Kitchen

"It is a really happy color" says Beverly of the color pink seen throughout her own home including in her brilliantly pink kitchen accented with a glitter gold ceiling. Beverly handpainted the refrigerator, dishwasher, oven and even her trusty Shark vacuum cleaner pink.

Layering and Patterns Lend This Living Room Its Rich Look

Many people assume Beverly has a bottomless bank account because of her vintage-rich rooms but she says that's not the case. But when you love vintage and deals as much as she does, and have limited space in an older home, there are always choices to be made and budget to keep in mind. "I have to really restrain myself sometimes. I know it doesn't look like it," she says.
