As my husband and I merge our lives after getting married, our furniture and design tastes are also merging.  I brought soft, neutral tones, while he contributed sleek black furniture with a modern feel.  We've blended everything pretty well, but as I think about the future, I enjoy searching for ideas to lead us toward a unified aesthetic.  I'd like for anything we buy for our home to create cohesion, rather than purchasing separate items we may like, but might not help us create a specific "look".

My eyes were immediately drawn to this clean, feminine take on a mid century craigslist find by Sarah of Sarah Hearts.  Think my hubby will go for the scalloped accent?
