I’m a little laid up at the moment with some sort of flu/bug so happened to be watching (after my last post I sound like a tv addict!) How I Met Your Mother in bed late last night. It was the episode starring Katie Holmes and in it her apartment was painted a nice shade of purple and teamed with green silky curtains. It put into mind all the purple in Jules Reid’s house (top two pics) featured in Matchbook magazine. I love the relaxed, casual white base of her home teamed with bold colour. Her Madeline Weinrib rugs are a fantastic starting point to her colour scheme! I’ve used both these rugs before and I have to say I never get sick of seeing them. I also love the soft purples of the office above, with its matching purple curtains and hints of dusky pinks and greens.
And on the topic of purple tv apartments, remember the most famous of them all? (clue: from Friends)

Love the madeline weinrib rugs, the purple ikat and the purple office. I was in love with Monica’s apartment when Friends was on, and all the colours of the different walls!
