| I think my taste is evolving again. And I'd sum it up with three words: rustic, organic, contemporary. I love design that incorporates all three elements in an inspired balance. Here's how I'd break this room down: rustic (the wood planter, wide plank floor and what looks like plaster walls); organic (white linen chair, basket, again, the wood and a stone side table. Not sure what's it's doing there, but I love it!); contemporary: the simple lines of the chair, not much clutter and that metal light.) |

| I love the simplicity of this bathroom. While there's plenty of rustic and organic in this room, I guess the only contemporary feature is really its simple composition. There isn't a lot of clutter here. But, white is an ultra-contemporary color, so we might sneak color into the contemporary-features category. You probably couldn't go wrong with updating the tub in this space: an ultra contemporary one or bath faucet fixture. It would have made a nice juxtaposition with the rustic, organic space. |

| Wow. All you need to decorate is a bunch of rocks and some antlers. Not sure I could pull this off in my house, but it works here. |
 |
| Ahhhh. I love this bathroom. A little Swedish and a bit stark, but it works as another example of organic rustic contemporary chic. |
 |
| I love this room, too. A lot of contemporary going on here. I might opt to go with a more organic, textured rug...not one with the writing. Perhaps a creamy wool with a lot of texture. |
 |
| OK. We don't really need storage for rocks. And I'm not sure those cacti are so happy. But in terms of an artistic display, I love this. White everything, stairs, floor and windows does help the vignette. |
 |
| I've earmarked this photo for my next kitchen. Love this. |
 |
| Love this, too. But wonder how hard it is to keep that pebble floor clean. How do you clean all of those grouted surfaces? |
 |
| This kitchen looks like it's straight from the IKEA catalog. Small, but tidy combo of contempo lights, organic sheep skin and rustic wood countertops. |
 |
| This is rather lacking on the contemporary side. And a little heavy on the organic, rustic. But I still love it. The window is contemporary, however with its clean lines and so is the bowl in the foreground. Perhaps a minimalist modern light fixture somewhere here would reset the balance. |
 |
| Another example of heavy rustic and organic and not so much contemporary. Certainly a great French country look, but think about this room with the addition of a few more contemporary elements, such as clear plastic or white chairs with more modern fixtures. Hmmm. |
