Board #244: Rustic Plum
So after last week's inspiration board and conversation on purple, I thought I'd try again. There was something a little too My Little Pony about the lavender and pale blue for me. But, instead of scrapping the blue, I changed things by going with a richer, more grown-up shade of plum. Also, to keep things from feeling overly girly, I thought I'd try this palette in a refined yet rustic, country setting. What do you think? How do you feel about this color combination versus the one from last week?

This one is pretty, but I like last week's better because of the bolder brighter blue.
OK, so this whole discussion over purple has brought me out of hiding!
I was just looking back through the boards the other day and thought to myself: "Kathryn's so wonderful at this, she can even make me enjoy something purple!" I'm a known purple-hater, but I do enjoy this aubergine board.
Now, see... See! This is how you do purple, if you must do purple. I love this, esp. with the rustic touches. Purple is not my thing, but this could be my thing. Well done!
I do like this one better - the deeper purple grounds it. You could still add a few touches of lavender, I think, if you really wanted to.
This would be great for a fall wedding - the photos you chose just say "fall" to me.
Beautiful!
Now I love purple, and I love this. I would never say anything bad about one of your boards, but I will say that unlike last weeks board, this one is for me!
So pretty and kinda subtle but it def. stands out.
I love the "more grown up purple" but I think that I wouldn't use the aqua/teal blue with it... I would use more of a "gray-blue" that would also be a more grown up shade to compliment the purple and fit in with the rustic aspect.
I agree, this deeper purple is much more sophisticated. I think that dark purple is almost like brown, it goes with everything, but has more personality and dimension. Seriously! I liked the lavender too, it is a very sweet and soft color.
