Repeat after me: Mixing wood tones is NOT A CRIME. You might need to repeat that one again to yourself. If you are anything like me, you have sort of a random mix of furniture in your home. For example, our white oak TV console is mine from college, and a dark stained coffee table we bought when we first moved in. Instead of stressing out that all the furniture pieces in our home are the exact same wood tone, I decided to smarten up and make. it. work.
