Open House: Jumbled Patterns
I'm a fan of this photo in theory — it reminds me of the mix of patterns employed in the interior design of my favorite San Francisco tea house, Lovejoy's. Like this photo, Lovejoy's blends jumbled textile patterns and mismatched china to create an eccentric, fun interior. This funky mix of patterns is perfect for an hour of cucumber sandwiches and Earl Gray.

Do You Have Mismatched Dining Chairs?
I love the mismatched chairs around this Saarinen table in the home of Virginia Johnson. It's quirky, but it works because there's not much going on otherwise in the way of color and pattern in the room. But, I've seen this look executed in busier, brighter rooms, and it doesn't always work.
Cool Idea: Mounting Mismatched China
Flea markets and thrift stores can be a treasure trove of mismatched china, which could lead to trouble depending on your level of impulse control. One too many "Oh, this little dish is too cute to pass up!" and next thing you know, you've got boxes of quirky plates without coordinating mates.
Steal of the Day: Garnet Hill Cabana Quilt
The Cabana Qulit ($128-$168, on sale $74-$108) from Garnet Hill is hand-quilted and printed with bright botanicals in Pink Rose, Blue Branch, Yellow Floral, or Green Dot Paisley patterns. The matching shams are also on sale. They would work with both traditional and modern décors, and could be a cool punch of color with simple white sheets, or a creative kick along with mismatching patterned linens.
