reconsidering purple (kind of)

Sorry to any purple-lovers out there, but it's pretty much my least favorite color. HOWEVER, I've reconsidered it since my friend shay talked about painting a wall in her house an eggplant color (which her husband's so far been rejecting.) But browsing through the blogs and such, I have been noticing (and collecting) so interiors that are predominantly purple AND gorgeous, when done right.

I love the first & second rooms. It makes me want to paint something dark purple. I don't understand you...you like pink but dislike purple. It doesn't make any sense to me.
