For so many people starting to decorate the rooms of their homes, they get bogged down by the idea that they have to follow a strict theme. Like modern, or contemporary or farmhouse, or...whatever. This can be hard for those of us who are just starting out, because we want to come home to rooms we love, but our budget doesn't allow us to buy all of our dream pieces. Everyone has that random piece of furniture or art that they love, but are afraid will clash with everthing else we have and look like they just stuck it in their living room after picking it up at goodwill!
