Every time I look through magazine with beautiful homes, I always seem drawn to the homes with rustic furniture outdoors! I think it has something to do with living in Texas for so long! I use to help clean a few houses every so often and they were Lake houses. They had beautiful rustic furniture inside and out. Texas is pretty rugged. I loved living there. I'm so glad that two of my children were born there! It will be fun for them when they get older to say that they were born in Texas! Right now we don't have much furniture in the house- my two little Texas Tornado's are good at getting things ruined! So we have to keep things simple for now! Of course we really like the clean simple look, just never have achieved it!
