Do you have any purple in your house?

Yes--my living room!
My two favorite colors are purple and red. When I bought my house it had all white walls and pink carpet in the living room--UGH!
So, I ripped out the carpet and went shopping. I found a beautiful old fashioned printed carpet that is blue and gray and has small flowers in a deep purple/pink. Before having it installed, I went paint shopping and found a luscious deep purple called mountain majesty . It was beautiful, but was a little flat. I fretted on it for a few days and decided to add some depth by sponging an additional color on it---now what color you ask? Well, red of course. It still didn't turn my crank so I added some texture and voila, PERFECT! That was 12 years ago, and I still love this room.

Yep, I have a newly decorated bathroom. Since we are on a tight budget, we went to Home Depot and got tile wallboard that has a mosiac border at the top and just below the halfway mark down the wall. The rest has a marble look with very soft pastel purple, gray, etc.There are also little squares (randomly)that have the mosiac pattern. Really pretty. I've accented with purple/pink towels and purple bath mat. Woodwork, cabinets are white and mirror is white frame. Everyone who has seen it finds it stunning.DH and I worked very hard on it and we love the way it turned out. I've also used green accents and that is pretty too. Favor the purple though.
