One thing about me is that I have this real matchy matchy thing. When I use to sew more and made almost all my own clothes (I just don't have the time right now anymore) I had this thing about using every bit of left over pieces of fabric to make a matching handbag, hair bow, etc. My friends told me they could always tell if I made it because it all coordinated. Now when I make my own jewelry I have to have the whole matching set -- necklace/pendant, earrings, watch bracelet, hair barrette and even sometimes buttons for my shirt or sweater.
The same goes for my home. Of course things don't match all the same there -- they just have to coordinate well -- I like a mix of textures and colors as long as they are within the same theme.
So I decided to make our new fan/light pulls to match .. uh hum .. coordinate with .. our switch plate covers and cabinet knobs and here is the design I came up with.
