Throwback Tuesday

I was going to write a post about symmetry today until I remembered I had already written about this...in 2009. So since I am moving slower than normal today (Tuesdays are hard after a 3 day weekend) I decided to re-post. It's like recycling in the blog world. 

Remember Noah? The guy with the ark? Well, Noah and I have a lot in common. We both love pairs.

Pairs of chairs...
(I hope he doesn't mind that I used his zebras for a pair of pillows)

Pairs of lamps

Pairs of beds.

Two by two...



It just works for me.
As do these pillows. Love that they are the same size and shape but different patterns.

Symmetry. It's a good thing.

When you have pairs you can get away with a little craziness.
A little craziness can be attractive. Just ask Katie Holmes and Tom Cruise. (Or Brad and Angie)

Isn't this just how you pictured the ark looking?
A little rustic, an old earthenware jar, a bit of greenery...

This pair of mirrors makes me very happy.
What about you? Do you favor symmetry or do you like a more random method of decorating?
