Pretty in Purple

One of my childhood friends adored the color purple. Whenever she got to choose the color of something, purple was it. I'm going to see her next week -- I'll have to ask if it's still her preferred shade.

Perhaps I should also point her toward the lovely Lakeshore Drive house by the immensely talented Angie Hranowsky Design Studio. From the pale lavender of an entry bench to the deep plum of a dining room chair, the house is so right. And the art-filled living room? Don't even get me started. Perfection! I guess we're all born with pretty specific preferences.
