Bold and Beautiful - Pattern Mixing

Our computer has been very slow lately until yesterday.  We had our router reset and it worked fine.  Then along came a gust of wind and took out the cable in my neighborhood.  Too bad that it happened while I was typing a post and most of it was lost.  Ugh.  So here goes, the pictures without all of the commentary...

As much as I love an all white bedroom filled with texture, I have to admit that rooms with bold colors and unexpected patterns mixed together are catching my eye more and more.

    1. I sooo agree with you about color!!!

      I love the look of soothing white and cream but I need a punch of color. It just brightens my day!

    2. I truly like the look of eclectic fabrics and furniture pieces put together but it has to be done right or else it looks cheap.

    5. These rooms are very pretty, but I agree with Jessabells... it has to be done correctly or it can just look like a big mess.
