I have a soft spot for Timeless Timber!

I have to say I have a soft spot for Timber furniture and Timber floors. Quite a few of the blogs I've been reading also confirm my belief that timber finishes and furniture really are part of a classic style and bring warmth to a room. Whether it's white wash "Shabby Chic" or the classic warm tones of hardwood floors or a chair or table made from teak or recycled timber through to an antique finish. If you choose the right pieces of timber furniture with a classic theme or style (furniture you fall in love with at first sight) you can keep these items and change the accessories and the colour scheme of the room and still have a new look. Timber items don't have to be matching and in the same style, but you can tie the items together through the use of complementing accessories.

I think the post on the connect furniture blog (http://blog.connectfurniture.com.au/post/1421068476/which-wood-you-choose) really summed up my feelings about timber, hey I even have timber as the background image on my blog!

"The beauty of timber furniture is always in the eye of the beholder. We are unique individuals and as such different timbers will “speak” to people differently. I watch every week as those frequenting my showroom reach out their hand and run it along the length of the timbers in our showroom tables as if reaching out to nature."

So here's some images where Timber is the key to the room's appeal.
