And rarely in any other room that had purple in it.

only because dh says no... it's my favorite color..but we try to be reasonably historically correct (house built in 1738) and you never see any purple in old houses from that era...
but, i have it in every quilt in the house...

I don't but you wouldn't believe my old next door neighbor. She will only wear purple. Her hair is burgandy. My theory on that is it is as close to purple as she can get and not look too strange. Her brick house trim is painted purple, purple hose, purple flowers in her garden, purple swosh on her black car. The inside is the same, all purple.

As an apartment dweller, I'm stuck with shades of white. If I ever find an apartment (or house) I like enough to settle into, I'd probably paint the walls and then repaint them over on moving out. I could see that Easter Egg purple for a bedroom.
As it is, I have purple potholders and eggplant refrigerator magnets in my kitchen. The intention was to have eggplant and iris motifs there, so I could have purple, midnight blue, yellow and orange accents. My stoneware plates are deep blue, and my dishes and mugs are handmade ceramics in shades of purple and deep-to-light blues.

No purple in my house. OH WAIT! A painting of a cow with a kitty on its back has purple in it as also a snippet pic I made that has purple in it also (sunset colors). I did stay in a home once that was owned by an architect and an interior designer. The house had an EGGPLANT colored wall with a high gloss in it and bright yellow accent wall on the other side. I was blown away that as awful as it sounds it looked right in that house (ultra modern beach house). I think it takes a lot of.. something to pick up that can and go.. yeah this will look great in my kitchen.. I personally wasn't born with any of that.
