LIVING WITH LAVENDER – THIS OR THAT

November 12, 2013

Contemporary living room with lavender accents

Saw these two living rooms the other day where lavender is the connecting theme.  The first is a living room with very subtle accents in a light shade of purple.  While the second, takes on lavender living with zest by incorporating a lilac colored sea grass wallpaper and then punches up the decor with even more purple with the ikat upholstery on the side chairs…oh and did I mention the orange sofa.

So today I ask you…which of these two living rooms do you prefer?  Could you see yourself living with lavender?

    Could live in the first space. Thinking the second room would be too much color for me.

    Love this color. It really seems almost like a neutral. Every color looks great with it.

    Love the first one with its great mix of furniture (the Platner table paired with the antique armchairs looks fabulous) but my vote would definitely go to room number 2 (designed by Amanda Nisbett maybe?). I need a bit more color in my life 🙂

    I like aspects of both, but I really love that poppy-colored sofa with the lavender pillows. I’d opt for a stark, white backdrop though- the lavender wallpaper is a bit overkill and too Easter-eggy for me.

    I haven’t been a fan of purple, in general, since my pre-teen days I the late ’80s. I do like the purple splotchy ikat chairs, but I can’t so much handle the pastel shades.

Some homes just feel special the moment you walk iSome homes just feel special the moment you walk in.
From the limestone fireplace in the living room to the informal dining space, a peek into the scullery, and finally the kitchen where the island becomes the heart of it all, every space flows effortlessly into the next.
Thoughtful design. Beautiful light. A layout that truly works. ❤️
This is what a dream home looks like when vision and craftsmanship come together.

Part 2 - Marathon. So as the saying goes, “if at Part 2 - Marathon. So as the saying goes, “if at first you don’t succeed, try try again.” I will run a marathon. I will hit the road again, train again and I will run. Watch me. Last Sunday, however, wasn’t my marathon day...
I made the best of it nonetheless. If I couldn’t run, I was certainly going to be part of LA spirit and cheer the runners on.
As many may know, I was supposed to be running the Los Angeles Marathon last weekend. After 14 weeks of training and finishing my 19 mile run, I strained a muscle. I went to physical therapy every other day hoping I could still run, but the pain was still there the day before the marathon so I had to call it.
But an injury didn’t stop me from being there. I showed up to Rodeo Drive anyway.
I watched the elite runners fly by, tracked friends, and ended up cheering for three hours. Fast runners, struggling runners, and the later runners still grinding it out.
A friend texted saying she knew the day must have been hard for me. But honestly, it wasn’t. It was just fun, inspiring, and electric.
I will be on the road soon...running a race! Can’t wait!
Design starts underfoot. From checkerboard marble Design starts underfoot. From checkerboard marble to warm brick and classic parquet, these floors do more than ground a space. They bring texture, history, and character into the room. 🏁😍

A bedroom that feels like stepping into a story. A bedroom that feels like stepping into a story.
This stunning space is a beautiful example of timeless design. The canopy bed, scenic mural walls, and soft layers of green and blue create a room that feels both elegant and serene. ✨
Rich wood tones, classic antiques, and cozy textures add warmth, proving that traditional interiors can feel elevated yet deeply inviting.
