Coming Around

What goes around comes around... and here comes the purple/lavender/amethyst again. It logically follows the perseverance of grey that has been with us for more than a few years now, but is slightly warmer and more spirited, especially in the northern climes where we must endure grey skies for days at a time.

I've always loved this vintage House & Garden cover, showing the best of the purple family with related accents.


So on we go, over to the current uses of purple.

Beautiful box of chocolates from Chapon

 Fine linens from Alexandre Turpault

 Love the linen curtains and tablecloth

 Katie Ridder 's new book, Katie Ridder Rooms, features this lovely living room on the cover.

Katie illustrates using lavender for shots of color... to cover the headboard,

 line the shelf backs and upholster the chairs.

Unusual kitchen tile selection

 Plop down on the purple perch

And last, but not least, Ladurée's Marie Antoinette cake

What say you? Do you do purple?

Lavender Does


There is something about lavender...

Fantastic chair ... I wouldn't mind grabbing a good book and reading here a while...


Cute lavender love seat in a cute setting- how fun the wall is with the ceiling medallions!


A lovely chair...

 Karin's lovely lavender linen, which can be seen and purchased at her LaPouyette blog.


 And nature's beautiful lavender lilacs...

Rebecca Kutys, of Moontree Letter Press shows us how she created a lavender ink used for her striking letterpress printing.


 Do you like lavender?

Lightly Lavender

Aahhh- loving the look of cool, beautiful lavender, especially when lime and lavender are combined.



John Saladino does lavender as no other: the rough plaster was painted the palest blue lavender.

Blue Fix Too

Today is a busy, somewhat nerve-wracking day. I thought I'd start off the day with these calming, beautiful blue colours. They make me happy!

A combination of three gorgeous blues:




A blue leaning toward periwinkle:



What's not to love!

Happy Tuesday!
