A perfect purple!!

Just another pretty room! The purple/periwinkle wall reaches out to its complimentary golds and reds. Warm and inviting and slightly exotic!

...sofa too extreme? How about a cute little chest

I love this!! From maisonsdumonde

....and another fuchsia sofa!

Only a year ago....it would be hard going to find a fuchsia or magenta sofa without custom ordering the fabric. Now THEY ARE EVERYWHERE! And the selection of shades and hues of this magnificent...somewhat reminiscent of the 60's....pulsing pink COLOR is also abundant! Bravo and all that!

Crate and Barrel....another perfect sofa

The Willow sofa is my second choice. Starting at 1600. , it too has sleek lines and plush cushions. crateandbarrel

I prefer the two large back pillows of this sofa to the multiple pillows of the Oasis sofa below. This way one can add a bunch of throw pillows and not have it looks so crowded. Still deciding.

Designers Guild

Search through this blog and you will come to the conclusion that magenta and lime are my favorite colors. So true! But until recently it was hard going to find quality furniture in these brilliant hues. Lots of fuchsia, magenta, lime and other vibrant colors at designersguild.

Crate and Barrel....the furnishings are exceptional

Ok, so I finally explored the new Crate and Barrel at Towson Mall! Sensory overload! But, then I don't get out much..to shop! I think I sat on every sofa and stayed on each one just a minute or two longer than I should. After much searching, I do believe I have found my sofa!! The Oasis!! Around $2,000.....it is worth twice that for it's comfort and for looking so beautiful. It's clean lines will allow it to shine in almost any decor. I would describe it as modern shabby. The base is quite structured and I love that there are no curls or scrolls. The hugely plush..and elongated cushions soften the straight edges. The chair, too, is dreamy...and add to the chair a most wondrous footstool it looks like a chaise and becomes heartbreakingly perfect!

The store itself is divine! Explosive colors here and there, mostly in the form of Marimekko fabrics, bedding and summery home goods. Where before it was one level and limited...it is now two floors and HUGE..expansive...glorious!

I don't even purchase much from crateandbarrel, but when I do, it is a forever piece.
