This summer I've been pretty void of color, but the variety of purple mixed with a yellow is basically everything for me. The jewel tones, which I have shared my love, have been my point of view lately. Today, I'm feeling a hue variation of this combo, lilac and gold. It's gorgeousness and basically what my bedroom has transformed into. This beautiful bathroom and vanity area just has me weak in the knees...

I've fallen completely for lilac cabinetry, with those gold pulls, its literally a genius move. Now I'm literally dreaming in lilac and gold...[especially on my Pinterest page, where I find all of these fine images]

I was so excited by Pantones color of the year I just had to write more about it. Especially after I saw this fabulous room by Drake Design Associates. I think most of you know how incredibly into the damask/floral pattern lately and these purple chairs are complete perfection. I just love them. After painting my bedroom purple, I really fell madly in love with having the color all around me, it's such a pretty color, no? Walls may be a little too much for some so you can always go for something like these chic greek key Jonathan Adler drapes, they're pretty good. I also like a few of these nice and pretty items...
