I have that exact table! Different chairs though, and no my chairs don’t match the table.

Who needs matchy-matchy when they can have a home that looks like yours. I love it! Toile and gingham…oooooh, pretty!

Very nice!

I have noticed after watching many of the re-decorating type shows on tv that the first thing the pro decorators do is BREAK UP the matching sets of living room and bedroom furniture sets. No ‘match-y poo’.

That’s YOUR house! When I first saw it I thought you snagged a pic from a magazine to give us an example. So beautiful! I’m loving it!

(By the way, do you long distance decorate?)

That is BEAUTIFUL! I swear to goodness, someone could give you a cardboard box, $20, a hot glue gun and 12 exta long glue sticks and you’d make the most beautiful piece of furniture from it anyone has seen.

Ah the room is beautiful! I heard once that you can have up to five different types of wood in one room. I totally agree. I prefer a mismatched look to all matchy matchy. LOL

Thanks for sharing the pic.

The porcelain potty seat is my favorite.

I read that sentence, said huh? and had to go back and look. Oh, that porcelain potty seat. . . I thought maybe it was some decorative potty seat you had displayed somewhere. LOL!

Nester — I love this look. I am going to be faithfully reading your decoration posts. Otherwise, I’m gonna have to beg you to come fix my home.

I LOVE your decorating style! I agree that a home looks so much more inviting if everything is not “matchy matchy.”

What a wonderful room. I can imagine how great it is to cozy up with some tea there.

I’m not sure this is allowed but since you don’t have a link Margaret, go to the pages link on the top right sidebar to domestic divas. Follow the link to the Nester’s blog and then on my blog look at the left sidebar for my window mistreatments. They are in there with directions on how to make them without sewing!

Love the drapes hanging over the door way! Can you by any chance post a close up of those? Would love to see a view of the other side of the room as well! Gorgeous.

I love this look. After our last move, we needed more furniture so instead of buying new we hit the flea markets, consignment shops and antique stores. We had a blast, nothing matches, and I love it!

I love your rooms, and all the accents of reds. I’ve always liked “mismatched” over having everything all matchy matchy.
