For as long as I can remember, purple has been my favorite color. Just ask my poor mother, who suffered through my high school years with purple bedroom walls, bedspread, and curtains, along with clothing in various shades of purple or plum and the all-important lavender senior prom dress.

Over the years, my aesthetic preferences have matured and changed. With maturity came new color discoveries. Nothing serene and sedate, mind you! These days, I love rich colors that grab your attention and make you smile with joy.

When you think about your home, think like an artist. Introduce color in surprising spots – a bright yellow ottoman or a delphinium blue pendant lamp. An unexpected jolt of color can give the whole room depth and energy. Even small objects infused with color will influence the feel of a room.

P.S. I still love purple.

    I agree on color. I should need the courage to do it. But living in Marrakesh, there is plenty of inspiration. Talk about a color saturated place!

    I love those pitchers. So yummy. I want all of them!
