I love the idea of using teal & lime as accent colors; very lively!Averillhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05758556623588696377noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6871878718824331017.post-83309123340495506552009-05-08T11:24:00.000-05:002009-05-08T11:24:00.000-05:00My bedroom is mixed black and white patterns.

Black sheets on the bed with a couple of different duvet covers in different b/w floral patterns depending on the weight of blanket I need.<br /><br />The furniture is solid black IKEA peices,solid black curtains. I have a nice shelf with storage photo boxes in different patterns, but all are black and white. Nothing matches, yet everything does. For my pops of color I have a vase of very nice delicate silk flowers in bright orange on the dressser, and a series of smaller 3x3x3 boxes in b/w patterns with brightly colored lids, these hold the smaller items like earrings and look neat and tidy.<br /><br />Theres not alot of furniture in my bedroom, just a white vanity, the bed, the dresser, a book shelf. I plan to later add a white w/ black floral patterned chaise from IKEA.<br /><br />I love that the boxes and the bedding have some pattern crossovers without being too matchy matchy. It Looks amazing with plain walls with a few prints hanging.<br /><br /><br />The dining room and kitchen also match. I have one of my white walls accented with green and teal circles, all the cookwear is le cruset in teal, and a mix of lime green and teal everything else, lots of stainlesss steel as well.<br /><br />The rooms are open to each other so the colors match but the style is simple. I plan to redo my dinning set with new fabric. I'm looking for teal and green fabric in a stripped pattern to offset the circles pattern on the wall. But not in a gaudy way.<br /><br />I try to keep everything from being too busy. Because no matter what patterns you like, it's easy to destroy a room over decorating it.MiriahHelenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06167616025447870107noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6871878718824331017.post-80092806525566001232009-02-27T16:08:00.000-06:002009-02-27T16:08:00.000-06:00I guess I'm a true southerner, I love Phoebe Howar...I guess I'm a true southerner, I love Phoebe Howard's rooms!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6871878718824331017.post-63592059414440018572009-02-27T08:16:00.000-06:002009-02-27T08:16:00.000-06:00So, you're thinking about my master bedroom with t...So, you're thinking about my master bedroom with the drapes that match the master bath wallpaper?
