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.

Hi Casa! I'm 22 and I just started my first job out of college. Unfortunately, I still live with my parents.
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.

- People with fibromyalgia have decreased activity in opioid receptors in parts of the brain that affect mood and the emotional aspect of pain, researchers have found. This might explain why fibromyalgia patients are likely to experience depression, and are not very responsive to opioid painkillers.
- Researchers have identified a conflict between sensory perception and nervous system processing in people with fibromyalgia. One study suggests that people with the condition might have greater awareness of, or less tolerance for, movement problems (such as tremor) that don't match with their expected sensory feedback.
Caption It, Sugar: Avril, Why You Have To Be So Complicated?
There was whole a lot going on with Avril Lavigne's outfit at a photo shoot in LA yesterday. From her crazy Winehouse-inspired hair to the bright colors and mismatched patterns of her clothes, our heads are just spinning. We had so much fun with our last caption it — comment No.
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.

Big Brother 9: Eviction 11 — Lisa Appleton
It was an oh-so-close result on Big Brother last night — as our poll results predicted — but Sara won out and Lisa was evicted with 52.6% of the public vote (at the time or writing our poll has Lisa at 53%... spooky!).
At least now she'll have plenty of time to plan her wedding to Mario Marconi following his proposal when he briefly re-entered the house last week.
Do You Buy Your Shampoo and Conditioner in Pairs?
After taking stock of my mother's beauty items, it occurred to me that she always buys coordinated shampoos and conditioners. Even if she changes brands, she still shops in pairs, and amazingly enough, she goes through each item at a pretty equal pace.
I, on the other hand, have several mismatched hair-care products in the shower that I use according to how my hair feels that day.
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.
