Usually there's that one piece that stand out in a room. A lot of us, myself included, use bright pops of color only on accessories - lamps, pillows, etc. If you're feeling brave though, a bold piece of furniture can really make a room - here are a few examples I wish I was brave enough to try!

I can't believe that summer is coming to an end. We received school registration information last week for the junior high. Needless to say, it has been a very different summer for me. With my Mom's surgery and lots of challenges with her recovery, it has not been the summer I envisioned it would be last Spring. But, we have had many moments of sheer summer bliss, along with lots of blessings from her experience. I'm totally grateful for these as they've helped me to see that God is good, even in the mist of our suffering.
So, before I get back into all things interior design, I wanted to share a few highlights of our summer. I hope yours has been just as interesting and full of fun.
Ok, first up, I've been obsessed with this artist's ability to paint water. These paintings evoke memories of my childhood and jumping into a pool or lake. Just love them! Since I'm not a painter, I marvel at this kind of talent.
I've been rocking out in the car to this song all summer - Get Lucky. You know how certain songs make you think of certain times of the year. Well this one will forever remind me of summer! It's totally a throwback disco song and I'm so hoping it will start a trend for more disco songs! My son found this youtube video where they have dubbed this current song onto the dance moves of some kids on Soul Train. Just look, it totally fits! Thinking that's why I love this song - I watched a lot of Soul Train and American Bandstand when I was a kid. The bow ties are cracking me up on this!
While at the lake with some sweet friends this summer, we toured the only Frank Lloyd Wright House in the state of Alabama - the Rosenbaum House. A real treat for me to see it. Remember, I toured his studio on a trip to Chicago last Fall so it was interesting to see a slighting different design in this Usonian (named for the United States of America) style home. Btw, the man who gave us the tour was so knowledgeable, and you could tell he loved his job!
We had dinner at the 360 Grille which is a rotating restaurant atop a beautiful hotel overlooking the Tennessee river. My kids had never seen anything like this and were completely mesmerized trying to figure out the mechanics of the whole thing! I just enjoyed the food, wine and view! It was really special.

We've had many discussions this summer about the Green Flash. To date this elusive phenomenon has totally escaped us, but I am determined to see it in my lifetime!
The production began just at sunset, and it was a wonderfully cool evening in early summer - perfect for sitting outside. During the first half of the show, we looked up and saw hundreds of June bugs attracted to the spot lights. A real summer experience (sort of like smelling cut grass). But by the second half of the show, they had completely disappeared. This is not the actual actress who played Helen, but I have to say the child did an amazing job.
I just discovered Lewis and Wood fabrics - particularly "Cobweb" . . .
There's something classic yet midcentury modern about this fabric. I think it could really blend those two styles together in a great way. Always love a fabric you just don't see everyday.
We were turned on to this comedian named Brian Regan. What I love about his routine is that it's completely clean and hilarious - a very rare combination for stand up comedy. My kids can quote almost every one of his routines. The walk around our house quoting him and laughing. My favorite is this one on "I walked on the Moon." (it's at the very end of this standup routine and it makes me laugh out loud!)
Our July 4th beach trip was a total wash (literally - there was major flooding on 30A). So, we celebrated the 4th here in Birmingham. We found a wonderful vantage point to see the fireworks and the rain stopped just in time for the show. It turned out to be a lovely evening.
Then we were off to the mountains with my husband's entire family to Montreat, N.C. for a week with all the cousins. We do this trip most summers, and my kids love it!
We ventured out to sliding rock, lookout falls and a new jump off place. The water feels like you've jumped into an ice chest!
Then, I took the girls to the Biltmore House for a self guided tour. We then enjoyed a "ladies lunch" in Black Mountain where we discussed our favorite rooms and then things in each room that we loved! There was a close tie between the Breakfast room and Mrs. Vanderbilt's bedroom as our favorites.
I think I've eaten my weight in this completely delicious avocado egg salad this summer. It's good on a bed of mixed greens or as a sandwich. Very Yummy.
My summer read has been this (very dense) book a friend loaned me called At Home - it's a history of everything in your home that you use everyday and probably have no idea why it's called what it's called. Very interesting.
My kids also spent some quality time with my brother and sister-in-law. It's always a party with them - fishing, lounging, movies, swimming, water slides, you name it!
They even have an underwater camera - love this shot of my daughter!
So, now it's time to get back to my favorite subject - interior design! During my summer break, I've seen lots of inspiring things, along with some really great installations of some of my projects. I'll be sharing it all with you here at the Muse in the next few months. I'm going to slowly build back up on my number of weekly posts. It's great to be back! M.
Mix and matching chairs is a great way to create a space with more personality. Your reasons for mixing and matching could be to save money (you can only afford one or two of a certain chair you love), availability (the chair is an antique and you only found 1), or visual interest (you think matching chairs are a snorefest). What ever your reasons, a few guidelines can keep your space looking chic.
Color Consistency: Paint your chairs the same color, or use the same fabric on the upholstery. This will create a cohesive thread throughout your chair set.

Make your intentions clear:
Make it obvious you intended the mixed look. Choosing chairs from different eras, like the traditional chairs with the ghost chairs, it a great way to mix with intent.

Two examples
Finding the right combination can sometimes be tough if you can't see the big picture. A great way to start is to decide on a color palette, prints, and foundation pieces you love. For example if you are going to do a living room and office combined, you can use neutrals with an accent color (in this case, lavender), and use it in your living room as and accent and then your office chairs! via The Lennox
Going with a different shape for the office chair but in the accent color- this swivel chair can make a statement without feeling like it doesn't fit in with the rest of the space. Color is the connecting thread here. via Pinterest
If you are going with a fun statement chairs, finding complimentary pieces might seem harder to pick out, but using the rest of this room's decor, an aqua desk chair might be the perfect mix match.
