Oh my gosh, what a fun room! I bet she was thrilled. Purple is a color that I do not have a lot of in my stash. Yours look yummy. Looking forward to seeing what they become.
ReplyDeleteDitto Jane. What nice parents to allow purple carpet! Beige would have looked horrible with purple.

Kinda crazy esp. as it was a brand new home. We figured, what the heck....ya only live once and if we needed to, it would have been inexpensive enough to replace when we went to sell. Luckily, the people who bought the house had a little girl that LOVED the purple carpet too!!! LOL!!!
DeleteI love that purple room Val. When I was ten I requested my room be repainted lavender and pale green. Until then all our walls had been cream, and my father didn't want to break with tradition. Finally he relented and I loved that colour scheme. It was the best incentive to keeping my room tidy: pride in the sophisticated decoration.
ReplyDeleteGreat purple tunes for those fabrics! I love the association with mustard yellow. As regards the teenager bedroom, our daughter painted it herself with a sharp pink and turquoise + flowers on the furniture!
ReplyDeleteLove that purple room, especially the carpet. Always good to give little ones some control, I think. Looking forward to what you do with the purple fabrics and getting my own thinking cap on.
ReplyDeleteI love purple ! The trim you have in the one picture is fabulous...
ReplyDeleteall those crazy circles !

Purple is the IN color this year! Your fabric choices are yummy! And good for you for going with purple carpet...why not?!
ReplyDeleteHad to laugh Val...I am currently doing a guest room in mainly purple and was considering I have done TO MUCH purple! But I dont' think so, now looking at your daughters room! But it looks so fun and whimsey! And I let my daughter choose her carpet in the 5th grade and the move was hard for her so we let her choose any color she wanted..she chose PINK!
ReplyDeleteWonderful purples! That carpet reminded me of our neighbors bright red kitchen countertops. They later sold the home with a generous allowance to replace it. LOL
ReplyDeletethe bedroom is hilarious! What a great use of purple!! And you know how much I love rick rack...

Too cute! I know my girls would love purple carpet, but we'll stick with ever changing wall colors instead. Looks like you are all set for some great purple blocks.
ReplyDeleteWonderful fabrics!! And Purple carpet - I LOVE it... ours is brown *sigh*
ReplyDeleteLove that purple bedroom! And those great purple fabrics.
ReplyDeleteI had purple carpet in my bedroom when I was a kid. I also had cream wallpaper with purple flowers on it.
ReplyDeleteVery pretty
How fabulous to let your daughter have her dream room. Makes such a change from neutral neutral neutral. Some houses advertised for sale here look so neutral that they could be "artists impressions" not real photos. And it makes me laugh that everyone has heard that you should have something read in every room and they have one pop of bright red in amongst their grey and black, looking so out of place. Thanks for sharing ;o)
ReplyDeleteHope your daughter knows just how lucky she is. What a great room. Love your purple fabrics. Should be a great month!
ReplyDeleteI saved the room picture for future reference, for when we need to update to a bigger kid room. And my Sunshine lurves Purple. And Pink of course. I picked out the color for her room long before we ever brought her home. When we we built this new house and were having the kids' bedrooms painted before we moved in of course I picked a shade or Purple. When she saw it she went crazy, saying over and over "Murmle!, Murmle!" I had no idea that she would love it that much but she absolutely does.
ReplyDeleteCan't wait to see this work in progress! I love Sue Spargo!
ReplyDeleteI can't imagine a purple room. My daughter was not a girlie girl (green was her favorite color ???) and though our adopted girl loved purple she came to us when she was 10 and shared a room already designed. My granddaughter loves pink and purple so there is plenty in my life now.
ReplyDeleteI am learning to love purple now too-I have never seen a purple carpet before-what a perfect room for her growing up
ReplyDeleteYikes! That bedroom should be in the Smithsonian! LOL Love your purple selections for this month.
ReplyDeleteWow your daughter did love purple, lol!! When my daughter was a teen purple and green together was her favorites and I made her a twin quilt with those colors. I have always liked purple, but don't use it a lot as the main color, but more of an accent color. I noticed several blogs today talking about purple.
ReplyDeleteKinda really liking the purple idea! Your daughter must have loved that purple carpet. I remember the pink and the purple days.
ReplyDeleteWe always let our daughter paint her walls - they went from blue to yellow and ended up red. However, the red came when she was a teen and the deal was she had to come back from college and repaint them (think coats and coats of base coat to cover the red!). She did it. Love your purple pulls.
ReplyDeleteLove the purple room! Looking forward to seeing what you come up with for purple. Plans for the 60 degree triangles?
