Falling for Plum

Raise your hand if you're shocked and excited that it's October.  How can this be?  Here in the southeastern United States fall tends to sneak up on us because our summers linger well into September. So now that the first cool mornings of the season are upon us, I think it's high time we pay homage to autumn - and I'm loving rich shades of plum for fall.

Did you think I wouldn't open with a shot of plum with Chinoiserie?

This library looks like a great place to spend a cool evening. So warm & cozy with those plum & wine tones. 

Plum walls with a lacquer finish.  Beautiful.

Don't you love the colorful autumn leaves against the plum backdrop?

Do you like the color plum for fall?

Going out on a limb with purple

The last few issues of Elle Decor and House Beautiful have been full of beautiful color schemes, and many of these have featured the color purple.  Maybe it's just a sign of the change of seasons, but personally I hope it sticks around.  I love a muted lavender, it's so soft and it adds a subtle dash to neutral spaces.

P.S. Would you have the courage to paint your door and trim that color?

Madeline Weinrib's ads feature a purple palette

and Nick Olsen delighted us with this purple accented apartment in House Beautiful.

Hmmm... when Pantone announces the 2012 color of the  year, my money's going to be on a shade of purple.  What do you think?
