My personal taste in furniture runs to the ultra modern, with round plastic or metal supports and a lot of glass. I usually shop tirelessly until I find just the right build-your-own pieces and put them together myself. I do like natural wood, however, and love to shop for the kind of furniture that looks great in other people's homes, but wouldn't work in mine.
Scenic Furniture is a family-owned business. One of their featured items is their Rustic Log Bed, and I have to admit that I like the way it looks in their ad:

The cabinets they show are too busy for my taste. I think the red overwhelms in this situation. I can see them elsewhere, though, as that truly is a lovely rich rubescent color. For the bedroom, though, I'd prefer their Northern White Cedar over the Eastern Red.
Actually, we are just moving into a new vacation place and haven't bought any furniture yet, except for this "bar stool" which I snagged at the local WalMart and put together just to have something to sit on until we figure out what we want to do here. It is not the most comfortable chair in the universe, but it is serviceable and doesn't clash with anything.
The seat is padded with a velvety looking beige fabric that adds a bit of warmth and texture to an otherwise flat room.
Speaking of seats, the aforementioned Scenic Furniture has a 6-ft sofa where they list one of the fabric choices as Jacaranda. Since my previous post is about the Jacaranda trees we have down here, I was curious to know what that fabric looks like. They picture the fabric swatches at the bottom of the page, but here is a shortcut: Fabric Swatches
