Purple!

How do you feel about the color purple? You probably love it or hate it - no in between. Take a look at purple paints, fabrics and accessories in different rooms and you may just decide purple isn't so bad after all!

Doesn't this shade of purple pair well with the green in an entryway?

Do you dare a shocking mulberry in your den?

Lovely walls and fabrics for a cool, sophisticated look. 

 Almost the same wall color with periwinkle slipcovers and bold hydrangeas for a different look. 

A soft lavender for a cozy, relaxing nook.

Purple with your antique blue porcelain, of course!

Floral wallpaper, stripe benches and touches of gold in a striking table and handsome mirror create a perfect purple venue!

What a difference a bright pop of purple makes in this room!

What other color would make your yellow walls and white accents stand out so vividly?

Purple appliances - yah or nah?

Or do you dare your kitchen cabinets?

The purple painted bench and window add just the invitation to this garden!

Ahh, purple, what an interesting color. Have we changed your mind for your dislike or made you even more mad about purple? It certainly is a color we wouldn't want to be without in our world!

A New Look at Wing Chairs

We all love wing chairs - big, comfy chairs we can cuddle into with blinders on the side to keep you focused and others at bay. They never really leave the world of interior design, but the latest crop includes a broad variety of design, fabric and scale choices. Take a peek at a new and fresh look from our vendors.

Squattier with rolled arms and high back. Nice geometric pattern for an updated look. 

  

Same chair, side view. Scooped out arms and a slanted back!

Modern update too, but notice the very straight back and vertical fabric to emphasize. 

Very petite and feminine. Love the vintage look fabric!

Sleek and modern. Nice, curved lines in a luscious velvet fabric.
