I think that over the years my taste in what i like in my home has changed a whole lot.  When I first moved into our current home I was all about the modern look and feel.  But over time that just felt so cold all the time.  I have recently changed my look to a more rustic home feel by adding Log Furniture to my area.  It goes well with the outside appearance and even better with my real wood floors.  I cannot believe that I went so long with the modern cold look.  I would have been so much further ahead if I would have done this a long time ago.
