Does it have to be everywhere?????

I knew someone once who had their ENTIRE kitchen decorated in the Pfaltzgraff pattern Naturewood. You might not know it right away, but if you see it, you'll know what I'm talking about. I think Pfaltzgraff made EVERY accessory and decorating item known to mankind for this pattern. And I'm all about finding a theme.... but let's be serious. There's got to be a moment when you say to yourself... hmmm maybe the Naturewood wall paper is a BIT over the top!

So the answer is no... it doesn't have to be everywhere, in every room, on every surface. You can choose to decorate your kitchen and living room possibly. Or maybe just a bathroom, or even a small room like your laundry room. Just like you can decorate one room with a country feel, you can do another room with a beachy feel, and try to use weathered objects that still have a country feel. It doesn't have to be a consistent pattern or color scheme throughout your entire house. The key is to try to tie things together in small ways.

So don't worry... if you decide to go the "country" route when decorating, your ENTIRE house doesn't have to be plaids and berries. Unless of course that's how you want it to be. :)
