Nancy Jo,
That is it!! Thank you. I've been looking for it for years.
I know why I kept thinking "pink," the original cover was in pink,
http://www.amazon.com/Velvet-Room-Zilpha-Keatley-Snyder/dp/0595321836

This list is awesome.

When they arrive at the place where they are hired, she goes walking in the woods and finds an old mansion. It's all in decay except for the library, which she calls the velvet room. She uses it as her secret place to escape to and read. At least, that's how I remember it.
