Kate,

Pantone's colour of the year is called "radiant orchid."  Here it is,

I'm not going to lie, I'm not the biggest fan of this particular shade of purple, but I do love deeper shades.  Taking inspiration from it I currently have an example of it in my home courtesy of you!

I love it for winter!  I think the velvet lends to the coziness we crave in the season and the shade of purple is beautifully rich.  In certain lighting it can almost look black, which I love.

Pillows are a great way to change your look for cheap and it's even better when you get them for free.  So, thank you Kate for giving me those lovely pillows!

-Amanda
