Decor Inspiration: Purple Reign!









"Purple is royalty. A mysterious color, purple is associated with both nobility and spirituality. The opposites of hot red and cool blue combine to create this intriguing color."


What a charming Hotel full of lavender accents! Makes me want to run and get some luscious lavender fabric for a fabulous table cloth! The drapes in dark purple add such a royalty vibe to the main dinning area... and I am totally in love with the velvet chair *sigh*. And how cute is the bathroom?

I wouldn't mind spending a weekend in this Hotel that exudes European charm!

Words to live by...


"Do not waste your life, because life is there-all you have to do is reach out and embrace it. Anything is possible. Whatever your dream is, make it happen. Have courage. Start today. You will be amazed what life will give you in return for a little bit of courage.
Courage is a choice.
Be certain of one thing: The measure of your life will be the measure of your courage."
