My favorite...

We all have colors that we gravitate towards: ones that make us happy and lift our spirits. Mine is purple. I keep a picture on the wall above my computer of a beautiful landscape in Maine. The sky and ocean are misty, the trees are green, and the flowers are purple lupins. I could get lost in that image all day. It is so peaceful and serene.

In honor of my favorite color, here is a collection of lovely interior design ideas to inspire your next space:

Okay, this rug isn't for everyone, but I am intrigued by the trend of over dying traditional oriental carpets. Landry&Arcari sells carpets like the one above and has a wide selection from traditional to contemporary designs.  Any rug could be a great starting point to a room.

How darling is this?! Serena & Lily has the prettiest bed linens among other knockout pieces. This bed is dressed in their Pinwheel Quilt, Kite Sheets, and Color Frame duvet and shams. I could picture this is a little girl's room.

Wisteria has a wonderful new collection of lavender furniture and accessories, including these linen flange edge toss pillows. They come in a variety of sizes and are reasonably priced.They also sell this antique inspired Louis Chair with lavender upholstery! I'm not sure how my husband would feel about these in our dining room, but I think they are fabulous.

I could see this wallpaper by Graham & Brown in a powder room. The scale of the motif is perfect size to make it a statement, especially in a small space.

What do you think?  Could like purple as much as me?  What's your favorite color?
