The Color Purple

by Melanie in Color Trends, Gilding, Inspiration

Have you noticed? Shades of lavender popping up everywhere, from soft sweaters at Banana Republic (ask me how I know this!) to these recent pages of Elle Decor and House Beautiful.

Love it with the Moroccan door!

This photo below is my favorite. LOVE the wallpaper and touches of black.

How cool is this curved wall?  A similar effect can easily be created with tape and metallic paint. Imagine the possibilities for all different types of geometric patterns?!

I’ve had this page tacked onto one of my studio walls for months now.

Purple Modello

It inspired my purple lime paint studio wall that now is adorned with Moroccan arches filled with bright pattern! Here, I used EasAll123.

    I am LOVING that curved wall. I wouldn’t kick that door in the first pic out of bed, either. Very cool post. :)
