I'm not afraid of purple. It's awesome, cool and comforting.
I have one random purple chair in my living room. It really doesn't go with anything, but I dig it. Maybe I'll find a better place for it or figure out how to better integrate it at some point. For now it exists in pure randomness.
I have been loving purple too lately! If done right, it can look so luxe and is a great entree into color from a neutral palette. I just made a post on purple a few weeks ago :) Check it out! http://riotfordesign.blogspot.com/2012/06/purp.html
We just renovated our kitchen, and yup, it's purple and I LOVE it. I was putting in dark oak cabinets, so I was trying to satisfy my hubby's love of purple by finding a lighter shade, or a redder shade - something that would "work". I hated them all. But when I went dark, deep aubergine - a truly purple purple, it was just "ahhhhh". The room has great energy now, and while it's definitely different, it has great punch in a house that's mostly wood and beige. And it makes me feel kinda arty when I'm in there. What's not to love?
SILLYMONKY: I'm so over white kitchens so would really like to see your purple kitchen brave woman you!
I have lots of dark rich purple in my house right now - on the walls. I find that people either love or hate purple.
Never trust someone who doesn't like purple!. They will sleep with your husband!
I love purple... it's hard for me to find the right shades, though. So far I only have some throws. :(
conejitoasesino, your comment cracked me up! my husband and i both love purple though, so i guess he'd be likewise skeptical of a purple hating hussy. :0)
