Do You Love It?

By Mandi 03/15/2011

So how are we all feeling about this color?

I normally am not a purple fan. At all. But I kind of am obsessively thinking about this one.

Input please.

  1. Not a huge fan of purple in home decor… unless maybe for a little girls room or something. But in feng shui the color purple represents prosperity (when used in the proper placement). So maybe some purple amethyst or purple flowers of some sort to ring in spring would be amazing! Can’t wait to see what you’re planning 🙂

  2. So funny you post this, I have been kind of thinking purple lately. I dont normally go for it either. I think I am going to use a dusty lavender in something! There was purple in the latest Ballard catalog.

  3. I think I love purple. If you asked me, I’d say “Yeah!” I love purple. But??

    I don’t. Apparently, because I realized a while back, that I have not one purple item in my closet. My daughter? Like one pair of purple pajamas. Nothing in my house is purple. Apparently I like it from afar.

    I wanna hear your plans!

  4. Not sure what you’re using it on, but I LOVE purple!! I’ve used it on two BIG pieces of furniture and have gotten tons of compliments on it! If you like it, go for it!

  5. I love it! I just finished showing my husband pictures of a living room that I love that used it as one of it’s accent colors and unfortunately he gave it a big thumbs down! :0( I don’t think he appreciates good taste though! ;0)

  6. It depends on what it’s for. I don’t LOVE purple like I LOVE red and you LOVE yellow, but it definitely has it’s place….especially if you’re a “Beileber” or have some kind of “Puppy Love”!!!!!! =P

  7. I love (nearly) every tint, shade and hue of it! 🙂 Some form of it is going to be the main color in my studio (once I have a permanent place… purple = creativity), but not in any other place in the house.

  8. I have some tights that color- fab. A wall, or piece of furniture? Hmmm…I’m having trouble seeing it. If ANYONE can make it lovely- it’s you, sista! LEt’s see it@

  9. I LOVE purple!!! Especially purple and yellow together. They are probably my two favorite colors. Did you see Lara’s sweater she did on Ucreate last week? L.O.V.E!!! Whatever you’ve got going in your head, I say roll with it. It’s never let you down yet.

  10. I guess it depends on what you use it for. As an accent color I love it. However, I was in one home where this was one of the colors on the wall and it looked great.

    You have great taste so I’m sure you’ll do it right.

  11. Hhmm, as others have said, it depends on what it’s for. Purple, in any shade, is one of my favorite colors to wear. But you’re the decorating diva, so I’m sure you’ve got a perfect use for this color.

  12. I LOVE purple! Especially using two different shades together…this with a lighter shade would be fabulous.

  13. I myself am usually aversed to purple but have recently found myself drawn to colors similar to the one posted, plus a deep eggplant purple. What’s gotten into me?!

  14. Go for it I say! Love purple, especially mixed with silver or hot pink and orange or a limey green or browns. I’ve got plans for a grayish purple bedroom with reds, oranges and hot pinks and black. Now I’d like to see what you come up with too 🙂

  15. Not a HUGE purple fan but, I am kinda liking that shade. Can’t wait to see what you are going to use it for!!

    I’m in the process of making a Teapot Lamp!! So excited!! Found some great stuff today!! 🙂

  16. I am a major fan of purple. somehow there is purple incorporated into every room in my house. My living room is a wicked deep purple, and red, but my favorite is my bedroom which is similar to that shade of purple, and lime green!

    Can’t wait to see what you have planned.

  17. Funny, my Etsy store is named “One Purple Dandelion”….but I really don’t like the color purple at all…and especially this shade 🙂 That said, though, I’ve been following your blog for several weeks (and have read all of your archived blogs, too) and I love, love, love what you do (I have yet to find something I didn’t wish I could buy from you!)…so I have faith that whatever your plans are for this horrible shade of purple, it will be something that I want in my house 🙂

  18. LOVE it! I often wear this color – I tend to get lots of compliments when I do. I don’t have anything in my house with that color – I’m not brave enough! I did go to someone who had their living room painted almost this color; hers was actually a bit more pink – not hot pink but close. She had this grey tweedy furniture with lots of color flecks in it including this color – it looked FABULOUS!! I LOVED it!!

  19. I love this color … I actually have a sample of it sitting on my desk at home as I too contemplate, “can I really paint my soffice this color?” I will let you know if I go for it this weekend.

  20. Hi there, I saw you on my recordered Nate show today and LOVE your style! 🙂 BTW I heart that color purple, im thinking of doing my new bedroom in greys whites and purples, should be interesting…we shall see
