We had been deliberating company names for days, and none sounded quite right. We wanted something professional, but playful. A company with an identity that fit our personalities. We also have big dreams for our company, and wanted the name to somehow encompass those. On our first house visit, we walked around a downtown property that our newly acquired realtor sent us to go see. Trudging through the grass, checking the siding, and discussing the landscape gave us a lot of excitement for our future. We each brought so many different, and insightful, comments to the vision of this house in need of renovation. We knew that it was too big a project to be our very first, so early in the game, but also knew that we were made for this business. This house was, you guessed it, pink.
Just weeks into planning our company, I received a text from S. I was with my family driving back from Boulder, and as I sat in the passenger seat of the car, I texted S about the pink house referring back to that day. We were both ecstatic. When she texted back, "Yes, Pink House!" We went back and forth until I realized she was suggesting we actually name our company Pink House. This drive sealed the name and identity of the dreams now unfolding...Pink House.
It stands for ideas, believing in yourself and personal potential, and for us, it marks future developments. Success as women (and moms), seeing the potential in a home or block and watching its renovated beauty unfold. Pushing through everyday to believe in ourselves, each other, and the team that we've carefully chosen to represent our company. Making it a Pink House Day is hard work that pays off every single day.
