Let's Do...Lavender!

Ah...Spring time and the fresh scent of lavender...heavenly! I wonder if this color could bring a luscious feel to our designs?  I do believe it can. Lavender, the herb plant, is known for it's relaxing and healing properties. I think it can have the same effect on our room design.  Lavender is usually associated with shades of blue, but can be found in various hues in our fabrics, paints, accessories, etc.  I love pairing this heavenly color with...cream or white.  With white, it just gives the room a clean, crisp feel. When put with cream it creates a 'feel of elegance'. What color would you try with it? We'll take a trip to several rooms and see the varying hues and styles...and of course, see how this color makes YOU feel.


Lavender Rows - how lovely!











Who's up for a scrub in this 'yummy' tub? I sure do hope the little yellow rubber duck is in there...to go with that bright yellow shower stall - Ha! Ha!

Stunning...don't ya think?

Love it...Love it!  This is a pic of a restored Rufus Porter mural in the Moses Mason House. 

What are your thoughts on this color of the day?  Do you love it? Unsure about it?  Or, simply do not care for it?  I'd love to know your opinion.  Oh, and ladies...you do know this is also a popular color for nail polish this year, right?  So, let's do...lavender!

                             

As always...thanks for stopping by.  Now, go make this a "Simply Irresistible" Day!  Ta-Ta!
