Of my many odd habits and opinions, one of the most visible is my distaste for things that match. I hate sets of matching anything, actually, whether it be motorcycles with matching side cars or coordinated sweat suits. This extends to dishes. I have all kinds of serving bowls, plates, and even olive pit dishes, and none of them match. This is on purpose. I guess it comes from my love of the authentic, the rustic. Things, all things, are to use, and when you use things they break. So eventually, nothing matches. I think that is the root of it.Matching also means you are trying too hard, and that always seems lame to me. So I try really hard NOT to match :)

How does that not make you "lame"?
Besides, your stuff matches in a whole different way. The common denominator is that you LIKE it. As a wise young sister in law once told me, (or did I hear it on HGTV?) don't worry about sticking to a style just collect what you love and it'll all go together in the end.
