If you grew up in California, you probably spent at least one year in elementary school learning about California's rich history. This state is awesome for several reasons but one of the most interesting parts of its history is when it was under Spanish control. The missions that Spain built along the coastline of this large state are still mostly in tact and they have turned into wonderful museums preserving this particular period of Californian history. If your school was located within a half an hour of any of these missions, the odds are that you took at least one field trip there during the school year.
When people are interested in mission style furniture, they are looking for something that is simple and elegant but also has a bit of an old world feel to it. It is for this reason that a mission style buffet table cannot be categorized as either contemporary or antique even though it combines the essence of each one. Contemporary furniture is often very simple and clean. The lines and designs are very simple on pieces of contemporary furniture. This look is very popular today because the furniture complements, instead of draws attention away from, pieces of art that might be in the room. Antique furniture, on the other hand, is the art itself. It is usually made from finished pieces of hardwood and carved into elaborate and fancy designs.
Mission style furniture is more traditional than either contemporary or antique. It uses traditional wood materials for items such as buffet tables, hutches, and lamps, but the designs do not incorporate things like curved scrolls or floral patterns. If there is any decoration, it usually consists of simple vertical lines down the legs of the buffet table or horizontal lines along the side of the table.
