Happy Lavender
I have not always loved purple. At one point in time I had a tone on tone cream filled house, why I don't know. But my style changes and the things I love change. I finished re-designing the showroom to fill it with saturated reds, purples and golds. So I never say never to a certain color anymore. But when it comes to this year's "color of the year" I feel a little goes a long way. They call it Radiant Orchid which is a clean, vibrant pinkish - lavender. Not one of my favorites, but I will say, I am loving deep purple and soft lavender these days. In my pinterest files I find inspiration just like the rest of you and recently when I was looking at "all things purple" I came across these images by well known designers who know how to use lavender - in my opinion. A small dose is all it take to get the feel without overdoing it.
Take a look on the perfect way to drop lavender in your space !

I have had the lavender request and like the others, I believe a little goes a long way !
In this space, the back of the chairs and edge of the rug were as far as I went.
But just recently I was asked to incorporate lavender in a home without any, in a room not far away from a living space filled with blue and yellow. Took a lot of pondering and more time than usual because to find a way to visually make it work and logistically to get it to the West Coast without costing a bloody fortune. Stay tuned for the design I put together using lavender !
