I love Michael Devine’s fabrics ( found in the john Rosselli showroom at the D and D) and have used them for everything (drapes, headboards, wall upholstery, sofas, chairs, etc). If you are not in the market for new fabric but want a bit of fun, take a look at these goodies he sells. Upholstered in fabric from his line he makes trays, picture frames, notebooks, and catchalls.

One of my favorite colors, hands down, is purple, weather it comes in eggplant, aubergine, lilac, lavender, violet, or plum I love the rich moodiness of the color. One of my client’s had me on the hunt for purple and I found a treasure trove of fabrics, wallpapers, and paint colors I would love to use in the near future. I look towards nature and the majority of my favorite flowers are purple:
Hyacinths
African Daisies
Hydrangeas
Delphiniums
Lilacs
Pansies
Foxgloves
Grape Hyacinths
Violets
And lavender…. rows and rows of lavender!
California Paint- Faded Lilac
Farrow and Ball- Bringal
The below rooms have lavenders, plums, rich aubergines, and lilacs mixed to perfection.

Pierre Bonnard loved purple and paired it with all colors. I use ome of his paintings as jumping off points for clients:
Above: a favorite combination, lavender, plum, and pale yellow
Above: I would take the pale lavender, bright cantaloupe, and the sea foam for a sunny palate in Florida
The painting above with the lavender and bright red in the tablecloth has such warmth
Above: I would take the lavender, warm bright yellow, ivory, and deep forrest green
