I asked her why she felt this way, slightly taken aback she replied by saying' The Colour purple is a colour we expect to wear ! and with this I smiled and thanked her, knowing that the Colour Purple Carpet was the perfect colour choice, and this was my confirmation.The DesignGatehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07110166878659283344noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6842244027880136050.post-37672301273192308732008-09-17T08:28:00.000-07:002008-09-17T08:28:00.000-07:00Hi AnneThanks for your comment.

I never identified within myself a love for purple until I started getting more into decorating and realized that I have a fair number of purple "objets" in my home. I have plum velvet cushions in my living room, an antique purple glass light fixture in the foyer, some purple glass candle holders, several purple/grey items of clothing, various lavendar things, etc. Who knew? I guess it makes sense...blue is my favorite colour and pink a close second...purple really fits right into my preferred palette but somehow i never consider it as a design option. I will now!<BR/><BR/>Great, great post!Windlosthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17014227226507484798noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6842244027880136050.post-24430297004219527282008-03-11T11:10:00.000-07:002008-03-11T11:10:00.000-07:00Love this post.

However, many artists seem to use it because it does complement so many other colors.Things That Inspirehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04405995431610377305noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6842244027880136050.post-36132337319887182562008-03-09T06:50:00.000-07:002008-03-09T06:50:00.000-07:00These pics show the gentle, stylish side of purple...These pics show the gentle, stylish side of purple.

I cannot wrap my head around purple as the new "in" colour...it has always been a colour I deeply disliked!!<BR/><BR/>However, you have presented some pretty photos, but the ones that I am drawn to show a more lilac shade. To me, lilac does not equal purple. It is its shyer cousin and is much less "in your face" than purple. I do not believe purple in its true intensity will ever become mainstream, but then what do I know? Dusty rose and peach and mint green enjoyed a huge following back in the late eighties/early nineties...shudder!!!<BR/><BR/>As for painting wood architecture (the panelled walls photo) purple, shame on them!!
