Whenever I need some "purple inspiration"
I can always turn to designer, Jamie Drake's portfolio.
Not afraid of color, Mr. Drake
shares my penchant for purple.
Which is why I am thrilled to support

We can't wait to go to the IDA's and meet all the fabulous designers, especially Jamie Drake - we even did all the centerpieces for the event to coordinate with his fabric!
ReplyDeleteWhat a nice and settled light purple in this bathroom..Very girlish and fun! Those busy colourful stripe pictures are very cute and I have to show them to my friend she will love to put something like that in her office (she is a creative mind and loves bold colours)
ReplyDeleteHope you had a fun weekend
Kisses my dear!
looks like you hit the purple treasure trove with Jamie Drake...!

ReplyDeleteI rethinking my color palette for my living room. I may have to add some purple or lavender in, some sort of way.
ReplyDeleteYou totally got me! purple is my fave color and that bathroom is so cool! Love it..

Are you familiar with the book "colorstrology?" I wonder if your color is something with a purple hue? I think it must be some sort of purple rain above your head to gather all those fabulous images.
ReplyDeleteThat bath, is brave! Does it belong to Harold and his purple crayon?

Jamie Drake is fearless when using color, but he also has restraint too....his rooms are pulled together nicely and beautifully! I'm sure the awards evening will be loads of fun. I was supposed to go to a design event tonight and will be missing due to an event at my daughter's school. Heading out to work now, but I'll e-mail you later.
ReplyDeletelovely colorful post!

I remember seeing Mr Drakes living room and just studying the picture. So interesting and every detail makes it work together seamlessly. I love color and when a designer uses it so well it is nothing but pure eye candy, Happy Monday!! Kathysue

ReplyDeleteOh my gosh, love love love these images!
ReplyDeleteThese are amazing!!! Love the bathroom and that couch in the last room. Swoon!!!
ReplyDeleteHope u had a great weekend :)
Purple is the only color I sometimes shy away from...I don't know why...Maybe I feel like everyone's pain in the ass friend in middle schools fave color ALWAYS seemed to be purple? But I think it is time to get over childhood issues :), and Mr. Drake makes purple look EVER so lovely!
ReplyDeletep.s. How was taytay?
I need a pop of purple AND that chandelier in my life. Gorgeous!
ReplyDeleteThat bathroom is so serene... I love the pops of bright purple in the other rooms too :)
ReplyDeleteI didn't think I liked purple so much. That first photo of the bathroom is my favorite!
ReplyDelete:) Marcie
When I see these rooms, I am thinking that a high-gloss purple door would be so lovely in a room with white walls and white floors!
ReplyDeleteHappy new week to you, wonderful Sue!
Mon
Oh, what fun would THAT party be?! Wish I could go! I love a designer with a point of view : )
ReplyDeleteThank you for stopping by and for your lovely comment. I had to run right to your door and fling it open and check out your blog. Love it.

Its official. I need a couch in my bathroom.
ReplyDeleteI like the look of lavender in a home. I don't know if I'm sold on a darker shade of purple yet-maybe a few accessories.
ReplyDeleteDon't you know that dining room looks like the inside of a jewel box in the evening with low lights & candlelight. Wonderful.
ReplyDeleteYour purple pics are so so pretty. Such vibrant color!! xx
ReplyDeleteYou chose some terrific images. Clearly a fan :) Wouldn't it be so great if Mr. Drake saw your post before the event?! Something fun for you two to discuss!
ReplyDeleteThat purple couch! The purple ottoman! Don't you just love them. I would just love to see those in person!
ReplyDeleteLook at that tub! I love it. Very regal and perfect.

Purple was not my color until a couple of years ago. Now I can't get enough. And, love that Jamie Drake. Saw him do a whole thing with orange this past weekend on Open House NYC. xoxo
ReplyDeleteGreat burst of an unusual color. Looks like it's going to be a fabulous event. Jamie is the man!
ReplyDeleteI was lucky enough to meet Jamie Drake while working on adjacent model apartments at Manhattan House. He is so fabulous and has such an individual sense of style.
ReplyDeleteHis use of bold color is fierce.
Gorgie!

wow! he is NOT afraid of color! not one bit! and i have to say that he uses it rather well!
ReplyDeletePeople tend to be a little scared of purple, but it can be totally fun. We once rented a flat in London where the living room walls were painted this beautiful pale lavender... Very, very pretty. Xx
ReplyDeleteI will never look at purple the same, that purple couch is calling my name
ReplyDeleteWow, those are fabulous pops of purple - he certainly isn't afraid of using color, and I'm so glad he displays this great color in such a fabulous way!
ReplyDeleteHi ya Zhush!
ReplyDeletePurple it is! I am doing a formal dining room and was hoping to avoid the 'red' cliche. Its a very old home with spacious dimensions and it could look super with a deep regal purple walls and champagne silk puddled drapes...off to visit your other purple posts for the exact shade! thanks xx Lyn (LINI)
Now that's a pop of colour! I love that wall of barcode art. : )
ReplyDeleteJamie Drake is fabulous! I can't wait to go and see everything!
ReplyDeletePurple is wonderful and so under-used!
