I am loving the accents of lavender and lilac in the above pics. They add a subtle feminine touch to otherwise quite neutral colour schemes.
The chair in the fist pic has me pining for a steel stool from Bailey's Home and Garden for my craft room. I have a vintage 1930's stainless steel filing cabinet in my craft room already and think the stool would be a perfect fit!
I don't have much lilac or lavender in my home but all the flowers in my garden are either purple or white coloured, from the large bushes of silver Anouk Lavender to the purple flowering herb pots of chives, sage and rosemary. White petunia's, purple and white Dwarf Lupins and Aubrietas add color to my borders. More of this to come later.
Have a sweet day!
i'm ga-ga for the scent of lavender and well now that i think of it both of my bedrooms are painted lavender (shore house and my new house) .. hum guess i just realized i like the color too .. :o)

I so agree...lavender and grey are amazing...I do love that chair in the first image as well. Hope your day is filled with sweetness...can't wait to see your kitchen. xoxoxo
ReplyDeleteThe stainless steel against the lavender looks wonderful................I love how it takes the steel and creates a softness with the lavender.......I adore that little pastel lavendar umbrella...........my garden would love it. XO MARY
ReplyDeleteI knew just by the title of this post that I would like its content. As always, you did not disappoint! I agree that lilac and lavender make great accent colors. I had a lavender kitchen once and it was sooo pretty.
ReplyDeleteHappy Wednesday to you!

I'm really drawn to these colors, particularly during the summer. That parasol is oddly calling my name.
ReplyDeleteAll the images are just so lovely.... I just planted salvia and maynights that remind me of lavendar. But would love lavendar in my home

I love the beach umbrella, just don't know if my hubby will appreciate much for the both us, maybe I'll just get him his own in blue, he he.
ReplyDeleteI recently did a purple hue post in my blog as well.
Lovely post, thanks so much for following me on Twitter. I've been a fan of your blog since I started blogging.
Hope you are having an amazing day.
