Furniture!
We have a furnished house/ condo that we're renting here. The style is very beautiful. Lots of wood - exposed beams, wood furniture, wood cabinets, as well as iron drawer pulls (and some cold tile floors and ugly art, but we can't have everything).
Wooden furniture in Mexico is called "rustico" or rustic. Most Mexicans don't really like it anymore, bc they think it's old fashioned. So a lot of upscale furniture stores sell "modern" furniture full of leather and carved iron. But we really like the wooden stuff! Locals hand carved a beautiful bedroom set just for us and delivered it to our house for an amazing price. Not IKEA cheap, but definitely closer to Art Van clearance center than Amish furniture center. We can't wait to add a little Mexico to our MI house.
