As a native of Houston, I am always hoping we will shake our image as a traditional "cow town" mostly because I am so into modern furniture and architecture. Well here is a fine example of how we are trading in our southern roots and heading into the new millennium with some serious style. Metropolitan Home's house of the month is a beautiful and very clean modern structure that works very well with classic contemporary furniture and art work. The expansive home has some natural aspects like stone walls, wood and stone floors, and unique metal work to give it a very natural appeal. Normally these types of materials are cold and hard but the architect used rich colors and created a very warm effect. I especially like the straight lines of the furniture and how it's low and long scale work so well with the high ceilings creating a timeless look.
