Design Schizophrenia!

So, I know I haven't posted in a long time, but I really want to!!! It's just that I have been so swamped lately. In fact, I am procrastinating right now. In 2 weeks I should be free again and can hopefully begin some of the many projects I've been sketching. I'll try to share these sketches if I ever get around to scanning them.

In my design classes, I am learning that all design should come from a concept first. Since I am design schizophrenic, this is a very difficult task for me. I seem to straddle both modern and rustic with a love for rustic, modern and industrial styles. Is that too eclectic? I am almost always drawn to simple design, especially when demonstrated in Japanese, Scandinavian and Santa Fe interiors. If I had to pick, my concept would probably be Wabi-Sabi (a term that refers to the beauty in imperfections) or Rustic meets Modern.

Well, I'll let these pictures speak about what my style is. As you can see, the first four images are modern while the last three are rustic. What am I to do? Let me know if you see an underlying theme?
