Mixing Patterns....


Isn't Pintrest genius?

It's like opening a new magazine every day.



One of the "boards" I created on Pintrest is labeled "Mixing Patterns".

I really believe mixing patterns in interior design is one of the most difficult things 
to get right.  'Cause when it's right, it's right but when it's wrong......well let's just say
it's very wrong. 



I struggle with patterns in my own home.  I am a fickle girl and often tire of them
quickly.  BUT, I have begun to work on my living room {aka momma's fun room} and
am hoping to mix patterns and layers.

  6. I think this is why
    so many people
    have backed away
    from wallpaper in
    the last decade, as
    well....fear of mixing
    and fear of tiring of
    the pattern! I'm sure
    you'll do it brilliantly
    in your mom room,
    though : )
