My mother has completely changed her furnishings in her house from Victorian to contemporary furniture. This is such a drastic change and I am not sure that I like it all, but it is definitely not all bad. I was very wowed at her decision to do this and was wondering if she was having a mid-life crisis.

I am not sure of her tastes in the contemporary bedroom furniture, but the rest of the house is not so bad at all. It sure makes the house seem newer and it also makes her appear younger, if you can believe that.

I was happiest over her choices in modern furniture for the dining room. There may have been some selfish reasons for this though, as I got her solid oak Victorian dining room suite, so she could use the very square and very tall cherry wood furniture. I will say, that is does look great though.
