lavender love...

I have been on a color kick lately.

{I painted the family room navy}

{{picts coming soon!}}

I am starting to think about Spring

and plants and our back yard entertaining area.

So, I naturally started thinking about lavender.

It is one of my favorite plants,

and since we put a fence in this winter

I will have to plant some of it by the garden gates.

Then I started thinking about

lavender in the home.

I have never used it inside.

But after checking out some

of these interiors I can see why some people do!

I love it when people paint the wood work

the same bold color as the walls.

Purple is the color of royalty.

And this lounge screams royal luxury.

Doesn't this look like the way

a French apartment bedroom

would be decorated?

I want NEED this closet!

Notice the lavender ceiling.

Notice in alot of the inspiration picts

 they have used loads of velvet in the rooms.

It just lends itself to the material.

I love how this purple velvet

pops off the white walls.

A more modern take on purple,

again with the velvet.

Only this time it is on a classic gold chesterfield,

and the purple is bright and bold behind it.

Looks so fresh and modern,

but still with a nod to the traditional.

If the weather stays like it has been around here.

I will be out planting that lavender before I know it!

Let the planing of the planting begin!

Navy is no longer a maybe....

 

Ok, so I've decided

and navy is no longer a maybe.

I am definitely doing it!

Hopefully this weekend.

So, in honor of my decision,

I decided to share a few more of

the pictures that won me over...

I love how every style

 looks good with it.

and every color looks good with it....

Now, I just need this print

 to go over my couch

and I will be all set.

Even navy pillows look great!

and here is a more subtle way to

infuse the color.....

but not for me.....

I am jumping in all the way.

Now to the paint store

 to decide on my perfect shade.

Any suggestions?

Hopefully in the next week or so

I will have my own pictures to share!

to navy or not to navy.....

Hubby and I have plans to paint the family room,

living room and dining room.

So, I have been searching around the Internet,

Pinterest and blogs for inspiration.

{click here to see more of my inspiration}

Here are some photos that are swaying

me towards a navy wall....

 Maybe even do one accent wall...

I think my white couch

and leather chairs would pop

against the color.

How about a navy door?

I think it would look great on

my stone cottage,

but what color shutters?

Here is a reverse of my possible new

color scheme.

White walls and navy furniture....

It even looks good in a bathroom...

and on wood work....

So, what do you think

to navy, or not to navy?

mustard mania...

I am obsessing over mustard these days...

It just seem so right, right now.

It is the color that is representing Fall for me this year.

Now, I'm still obsessed with my all white interior, but

a mustard pillow might just get thrown on the couch....

 And I am totally peppering the wardrobe with it....

 And hello! 

 Don't we ALL want NEED one of these?!

Lovin' it!
