What Is Purple?
Time is purple
Just before night
When most people
Turn on the light--
But if you don't it's
A beautiful sight.
Asters are purple,
There's purple ink.
Purple's more popular
Than you think...
It's sort of a great
Grandmother to pink.
There are purple shadows
And purple veils,
Some ladies purple
Their fingernails.

_All_ your clothes? Wow.
As to house decor, I'm sure all purple would be too much ;)
Btw, do you wear beaded jewelry at all? If so--I've made several purple necklaces lately, for friends, and can make one for you if you like :)

I understand re: house, and yes, a small purple room sounds lovely :)
I don't know if you've a room suitable for the purpose, but I wonder if one couldn't decorate the room in purple, without painting the walls--i.e., purple screens, wall hangings, furniture covers, light fixtures...? ;)
