Design Idea: Adding Pattern in Your Home & My Favorites

Hey all! I love adding patterns into my home. It's so fun to mix and match to achieve a beautiful balance and create interest.  Usually when I do this, I try to focus on a couple of things...Mostly, I like to group patterns based on colors. I have several in my living room alone, but since they are all unified with a light cream color it works great. A bit bolder option would be to focus on patterns. Try mixing several elements that have varying colors, but a similar pattern. 
 
I've been teetering with the idea of buffalo check for a while now. I love it, especially in black and white. It is so graphic and has a wonderful country modern feel to it, but I'm just not sure it's right for our home. What do you all think? Maybe one throw pillow on my couch or as an accent in my master bedroom which is primarily decorated in black, white, pale gray and cream?

[Project Notebook] New or Vintage Couch?

 
Last week, on my Facebook page, I started a discussion on purchasing a couch. Specifically, would you buy new or would you buy vintage and have it professionally reupholstered? (You can check out my fb page, here.)
 
Martino and I have totally different thought processes regarding this whole couch issue.  Can you guess what side of the discussion I'm on? If you said vintage, you are totally right!
 
Nevertheless, I do feel it is a good idea to weigh all my options since this is such a big purchase.
 
In terms of new couches, I have it narrowed down to the following five options, with option number four being the top pick.
