It seems like every year around this time, everyone in my family gets a little bit of cabin fever. We've all been cooped up together for several weeks, and there are still several more weeks of cold, snowy weather ahead of us. We each feel restless and sometimes a little cranky.

This year, we decided to try to get out of the house a little more often. Now, I have to admit that your entertainment choices are somewhat limited here in northern Utah (skiing and snowboarding can get really expensive really fast!) That being said, our family has found itself browsing around several interior design shops and boutiques lately. The girls love that sort of stuff, and I can tolerate it.

In fact, there are a few current trends that I really enjoy. By far, the most common style I saw in those stores could be categorized as "Mediterranean" or "Tuscan". It seems that, in general, style is starting to move away from the sleek, ultramodern home. More people seem to favor a more rustic and classical feel.

After spending a good portion of my holiday vacation perusing through interior décor emporiums, I came back to work and found myself drawn to our Tuscan Style House Plans. I really do like the rustic aura and the Old World charm that they all exhibit. Just check out NDG-1142, for example.

I'm not going to go into detail about this wonderful Tuscan Home Plan, but I do want to encourage you to Check It Out! And while you're at it, why not go through the rest of our great Mediterranean and Tuscan House Plans?
