inspiration.

I finally decided on a color to paint the dining room. It's called Antique Purple, and it is devine! The perfect mix of purple and gray, so I will get my purple dining room and b will not really notice that it's a purple dining room! Here is a sample of the color...or pretty close to it:
So, now time to decorate this piece. I love the idea of white/purple or gray/purple and black,white/purple. But given that this is a pretty gray color, and the dining room furniture is dark wood, I think I may have to lighten it up a bit with the curtains and rug and accessories. So, I'm thinking about these curtains:


B/W Damask

Gray Velvet

Eggplant
Or do I go with just plain white curtains? Thoughts?

  1. First of all, I have to say that that gray is spectacular! Gray is one of my favorite colors. It looks so great with whites, shades of plum, lilac, celery greens, yellows, teal, black, you name it! Love it. Heck in the image you posted you can see many of those paired with it. I love b/w damask, especially those that are so heavy on the black, but they may make it a little dark. I say go with white, or search for more options in the plum family. Yay for decorating! Head on over to my blog, I'm about to post an item that i'm obsessed with, and it's kind of silly considering it's an accessory.
