Mix & Match

I have loved my new furniture line since the moment we met! Most girls love diamonds... I love upholstery.

After picking out this ethnic yet neutral print for a piece for the floor, I ran across the same print on the shade of a lamp from one of my favorite manufacturers.

How could this be? What are the chances?  I couldn't help but put them together. Matching is so unlike my personal taste, but I like the unexpected element it would bring to a room. I would balance it by having other pieces not matching in the room, like the side tables or coffee table...mixing wood and mirror.

Designers have been matching wall coverings, and fabrics for decades. And yes, this look could be percieved as dated. But, done intentionally with some restraint could be interesting... hmm?
My messy work room.
I've been pulling fabrics for pieces for the store, as well as clients.


It's cute together huh?!  What do you think? Would you put matching pieces in your house?
