Last month, we asked your thoughts on plaids plus stripes at home (as inspired by a fashion choice featured on The Sartorialist). A couple currently featured in ReadyMade have gone with the look for their bedroom space -- adding a powerful floral and miniatures collection as a backdrop. Talk about pattern! In the context of their entire loft space, we think the unlikely combo is really interesting. Click below for a close-up, as well as a glimpse at their home/work spaces:

If you check out their flickr and blog, they've actually added some more interesting pattern to their home in the form of new bookshelves with individually painted planks as a backdrop.
It seems their home is constantly evolving and getting better each time!
love this.. its so sweet, clean and love the use of so many different pieces of furniture...
I've seen this house before (on Design*Sponge I think) and felt house-envy for the first time! Congratulations to this couple!
AT: the last link to ReadyMade is not working. Thanks for fixing it.
such a great raw space- but i'm so sick of this overly coordinated, cutesy precious look. is it just me?
I think it's great. You can tell that a lot of imagination went into each of the pieces. I agree that vignette-style living spaces can get to be a bit much when not done well, but I think that this place shows what is possible on a budget when you're willing to be creative.
i hear what you're saying, archinerd. the deer collection and tree stump pillow are a bit too twee however, all in all, I find the space to be creative, inviting and organized. Job well done!
Creative, inviting, and functional too! Even the table-on-table in the first picture is unexpected. I'd like to see more homes like this!
Yes, I saw this on D*S a while back, and I'm equally as taken with it now as I was then. Home envy for sure!
LOVE the hanging swing - such a fantastically unexpected piece of furniture inside a house. I once lived in a great little cottage-style house with exposed beams on the sloped ceilings, and hung a hemp sky-chair
( http://www.boblotex.com/ ) in the den. Bliss!
The globe collection is also fab!
Nice space!
But I'll never understand why a pretty girl would tat herself up like that. (I know it's way off topic, but that was all I could see when I first looked at the picture)
Love the swing. Wish I could have one in my living room! And, love the globe collection.

I had definitely seen this space before and would have gone insane wracking my brain wondering where. Thanks to the other AT commenters for reminding me it was on design*sponge!
How much fun would it be living there? SO MUCH.
I echo LilyC - this is a perfect example of how awrul tattoos can look!
