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!
....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.

Inbetween...and behind the rainbow!
Oh, I just really love this...don't forget to look at the pillows! And the pug doesn't hurt the whole feeling of this room! How cute is he? From freshome

An Italian Villa
Architects, Claudio Lazzarini and Carl Pickering, renovated this eighteenth century villa in Positano, Italy. I find it mesmerizing. I adore the low magenta striped seating.
In first photograph, see the top right insert of the second story room ? The third photograph is a view from the opposite end of this room. Just too intriguing!!

If I could have two living rooms...this might be that second one. I am crazy over color, especially magenta and hot pinks, but I think I would have gone white with the roman shades....or green. Am I just getting old and boring?

Nice Lines
What pleasing lines! And if you are a fan of rattan.....which I am and always will be...this is perfect, more refined than your average rattan sofa. Replace neutral pillows with boldly colors ones (lots of them)...and BAM! lifeshopcollection
This room invites you inside
This is the sort of room that begs you kick your shoes off and sit awhile. It bespeaks the style and interests of the owner. Photographs/artwork hold up every corner of the room.....the piles of books and mags are both visually appealing and reassert that this is a place to 'hang'. The configuration of the furniture is all about conversation. Yup, without invitation, I would have no problem making myself comfortable.....likely to the chagrin of the owner, producer-director Brett Ratner Oh yeah...the live plants lend color and fresh appeal. pointclickhome
Click on photo for full view....it really is quite lovely.
This is Heaven!
Maybe I am just way too sleep deprived (probably YOU too)...or maybe dreaming of warmer days, but these are pure AWESOMENESS! Unfortunately for me, my dogs would take them over! And we would all exclaim, "look how cute they are all curled up like little foxes'....and that would be that!

I found this treasure on nothing-elegant blog which you really must check out. She is a clever writer and finds all sorts of nifty sites and such.
I adore the menagerie of pictures that fill the entire wall space....and the sofa is killer! Why the beige wall? You see so little of it, would be nice if they painted it orange or purple or some other rich and contrasting color. Ha, this is just me.
update: found AGAIN on pointclickhome It belongs to Lindsey Buckingham, former member of Fleetwood Mac. I love his solo music, his voice!!

Clean and Crisp....spotlight on the Magenta!!
Although my home is color saturated head to toe.....this monochrome theme with shots of bold color really gets me.
It is all about the anchoring...the balance...and the furnishings do just this.
