LIVING WITH LAVENDER – THIS OR THAT

November 12, 2013
  • Share
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.

A well-designed bunk room isn’t just for kids. It’s about making every guest feel like they got the best bed in the house. Built-in storage, thoughtful lighting, and bedding that actually makes you want to climb up top.
Save this for your next build or renovation inspo and follow for more. 🖤

Designer Ashley Montgomery layered reclaimed wood beams, brass hardware, and deep walnut millwork against soft plaster walls, and somehow every single room still feels calm. The olive built-ins in the living room, the arched oak doors, that brass shower enclosure in the primary bath... this is what happens when someone actually commits to a palette.

How much summer can you fit into a few days? ☀️⛵️How much summer can you fit into a few days? ☀️⛵️
I flew from Los Angeles to Nantucket for a very quick trip and I’m planning to find out.
Beautiful beaches, boats, gorgeous interiors, time with friends and one last little dose of August.
Turns out you don’t always need a whole week to feel like you got away. 🤍
So happy to be visiting bestie @francesgfayard and her husband Calvin and my godson Carter for a little last minute end of summer travel. New England at its best. Day 1 was a beautiful day. 🤩
You are not going to feel motivated every day. AndYou are not going to feel motivated every day. And you don’t have to.
Some days you’ll feel inspired and everything seems to click. Other days, you’ll question what you’re doing and wonder if any of it is actually working.
The important thing is not to mistake a slow day for a step backward.
You can keep going even when the motivation isn’t there. Some days, showing up is the progress.
Save this for the days when you need the reminder. 🤍

The best parts of Paris might not be on your itineThe best parts of Paris might not be on your itinerary. 🇫🇷
Some of my favorite travel moments are the ones you don’t plan: the pretty street you turn onto, the café you notice while walking by, the building you stop to look at for no particular reason.
So if you’re planning a Paris trip, don’t fill every hour. Leave room to wander.
