Purple.......
Growing up Purple was one of my real home designs. I think probably beacuse it was associated with the auld country.......Scotland. My parents were fond of the homeland and proud of its history and tradtitions. So incorporating a colour of heather and the thistle seemed normal. Most of my friends had shag rugs in green or orange browns in their homes. My house was decked out in plush purple velvet floors - not shag! A wee hit of 70's glam no doubt - LOL! Our chesterfield was white velvet accompanied by traditional mahogany wood accent tables, purple silk swag lights, and an accent wall of purple velvet damask wallpaper. The joke my parents got was if they couldn't afford the mortgage, and had to sell a church would buy it! I hope that would be the church of Sacred design!
A hit of a purple living room just to get your mind photo snap on the right page!
Probably the purple most commonly found back then was on the lavender side, in posh lavvies! Yes, that being the lavender tub and toilet..........remember in every era of design something was a trend and a new design must have. Its great to pay tribute to them on Throw Back Thursday!
