Pourpre (or purple) bedrooms

Guess what. I have found probably the only word which sounds better in English than French!!

Pourpre (purple)

Did anyone see From the Right Bank's lovely post on purple clothes? It's here. And I love purple. And in the manner of great minds think alike I have been thinking about pourpre chambres because my own chambre is very white and very furniture free and has a dark navy carpet (good for confusing burglars but bad for showing up dirt) and navy taffeta curtains and of course a chest of drawers but I want something rather like this:

With a purple wardrobe like this:

And a little dressing table like this:

And a section of wallpaper like this:

And curtains like this:

And a sitting corner like this:

Or this:

Or even this:

And here I am whining about the lack of purple bedrooms in my house when I remember that someone has one. My son. Poor little thing. He inherited the nursery we painted pale lilac when we didn't know our first child would be a girl. It's this colour:




It also has taffeta vertical stripe curtains in lilac and cream. And ridiculously impractical cream no tuft carpet which is now very very stained.

Now I am most definitely not a blue for boys pink for girls kind of person. But I am thinking his bedroom needs to change with the times. At 2.5 years I think he will start to feel out purpled. He needs a redecorated room. I have a plan. It's all in my head, and it will have something in common with all of these little bedrooms:

That's right. A built in bed. More to come once I work out how. And when. And what.
