I second (or third) about Southwestern furniture. To be more specific there is a museum in Taos,NM dedicated to Nicolai Fechin, a Russian emigrant artist who came to Taos in the '20's. In addition to his portraiture he built his house and all the furniture in it, incorporating Russian styles in a SW mode. Really nice stuff, incorporating much carving, but very hard to find any thing on it. I have one set of plans that I am making a bench from right now, and am going to visit his museum in May when my daughter graduates from St. John's College/Santa Fe. Hope to come back with enough pictures to keep me busy for a year or two, making sawdust.
