My friend and I walked through a show home at the fair that was decorated completely in modern furniture. I was never a big fan of this until I saw what it looked like all together in the house. It looked so clean and sleek and I knew my furnishing preferences might be changing that very day.

I was especially impressed with the contemporary bedroom furniture. As my bedroom is done in a very traditional style, I was surprised at the total opposite style of the newer version. What surprised me most was that I would consider a whole style change from seeing one house.

Since then, I have been paying much more attention to contemporary furniture. There are still a lot of pieces that I do not care for, but I would say that I definitely have a more open mind. I think seeing it all  put together really helped in this aspect.
