This week it's about PURPLE. We've pulled a diverse collection of purple paints and accents from the House Beautiful archives. Each one above is from a slide show below the jump. Enjoy!
Eggplant, Lavender & Lilac: Purple Paint & Accents
House Beautiful
• 1 A Fabulously Feminine New Orleans Home An entire home with purple as the centerpiece!
• 2 Colors to Make You Look Younger — Purple dining room painted with Jack Horner's Plum by Pratt & Lambert.
• 3 Daughter's Bedroom in Amanda Nisbet's NY Apartment — If purple hued paint isn't your thing, look how this cream room was transformed with purple textiles.
• 4 — A colorful and cozy eggplant chair adds pop to the living room. It's upholstered in Carom from Malabar.
• 5 6 Great Shades of Purple — Lavender is pretty girly, but check out the other 5 shades (I like the Caponata AF650 from Benjamin Moore).

That House Beautiful feature was one of the most gorgeous homes I've ever seen. Anyone who thinks pastels are bland/hokey should be required to see it.

Love the chair from #4. It makes me want to curl up with some classic novel.

Purple is absolutely not my color, but these are very nice!

If I wanted to paint anything in my house those shades, it would instantly end my marriage, and he'd be right to leave me.

my bedroom is purple, the bottom a very light pastel and the top a medium shade, no grapes but lovely... then all my decorations are teal, brown, and white... i think it's quite beautiful.

Does anyone know where to find the fabric on the chairs of the second picture?
