Bedside lamps...to match or not to match is the question
Comments (15)Thanks for all the responses everyone! Very interesting to get different opinions. The challenge of trying to find two lamps that are different but also mesh well together was giving me a headache!! Although I like the idea of using different lamps so that things don't look so matchy matchy, I opted to go with identical lamps. I just ordered these from Target (see link below). I will be substituting with different shades...most likely using silk cream colored shades.

Comments (34)What a delightful thread! I've enjoyed reading everyone's answers. I love my cottagey picket fence headboard. With my Belgian tapestry pillows And the matching shelf... plus the small drawing a friend did of my much loved mare. My porch swings, especially my purple one My large curio cabinet filled with treasures from our travels. (no photo) The stained glass pieces hanging in the windows. We did the small ones, not the glass panel in the door...someday. Dh and I took up stained glass this year as a joint hobby. It's been fun! We have photographic portraits that we love, plus all the BOOKS. My five descriptive words... Creative Friendly Outdoorsy Bookworm Determined.

Comments (75)The color of my new dining room is 'French Bulldog' black, the runner for the stairs was chosen specifically because the dogs like to guard (I use that term very loosely) from the landing and we have coordinating beds scattered throughout the house. My pimped out minivan is black with a personalized Frogdog plate and Harley is the poster child for the labels on our homemade wine. So I guess the answer is a resounding yes. I'm the neighborhood dog freak - love these pictures, but always, always have a soft spot for the short noses - especially that little black pug!...See MoreDoes your kitchen preference match your clothes?
Comments (10)I’ve realized that the kitchen I’m designing for our new house is very much a reflection of the colors I wish I could wear. I love layered, textured neutrals with cream, black, and all tones of brown. I still remember a cream cashmere coat one of the female characters on ER wore - I longed for that coat. Oh, and Rene Russo’s wardrobe from the Thomas Crown Affair. It seemed so unfair, as both women were redhead like me, but black and cream both make we look washed out and, quite frankly, ill. Sigh. Our kitchen design is for black leathered countertops, cream and natural white oak cabinets, and mid-brown hardwood floors. Basically, the clothes I wish I could wear in decor. And I tend to like clothes that are *almost* boring basics, but with little embellishments. A subtle ruffle here, a colored lining there, a touch of lace at the hem, etc., and I think that’s very much reflected in the styles we’re choosing, too. Much of the rest of the house is done in teals, blues, and greens, which are what I wear and love....See Moresarschlos_remodeler
