I don't think rules and guidelines are a bad thing, and I think some people need them to come up with a solution that makes them happy.

When a designer, or someone with good, very focused taste says "I just put everything I love together and it works" it's a little different from someone picking every finish they like and using them, so "do what you love" is not necessarily great advice for everyone.

When someone with focused taste puts together things they love, there is really a lot of discipline and discernment involved in that process, but it's innate. So it may seem very spontaneous, but I am skeptical that it actually is spontaneous. It's natural to them, but when things don't come to someone naturally, spontaneity may not turn out all that well.

I have helped some people who have gotten very annoyed with me because I don't let them use every single thing they like. Because every single thing that they like would not look good together. They may have good ideas for two or three different kitchens, but not one kitchen.

I love your accent tiles, especially the quotes from John Muir. I have long admired his forward thinking and ecological vision and I love that your tiles give a nod to him.
