this design quiz at Stylish Home to determine your decorating style. Brace yourself— the quiz promises to "delve into your design soul." The quiz "suspected" me to be Modern Eclectic, which apparently makes me soulmates with Andy Warhol, Scarlett Johannson, and Philip Seymour Hoffman. Okay.
Winsome Charm, just like Tom Hanks and Queen Latifah (?)

ReplyDeleteboo! it's broken!
ReplyDeleteYea, it's not working for me either, Steph.
ReplyDeleteBroken, yup. Your bzillion readers must've overloaded it. I was partway through, got a phone call, and then couldn't finish it when I came back. Oh, well... I don't have much "style", anyway. ;)

"Cozy… not oversized - a hand crafted gem. To cook a grand meal in an elegant kitchen is your joy. A button down bedroom belies it's comfort. Your decorative canvas stretches to the property lines. A sense of rolling hills and vineyards surround this table. The graceful ceremony of sharing. Natural and neutral… save the color for your art. Wild and crazy days in your wonderful home."

ReplyDeleteWhen I look around, though, it's more early thrift store meets not enough storage room, which is what happens when your mother moves in with her entire household contents.

I got "Antiquated Espresso," which I love just for the name. Basically, I think it means I'm super pretentious and love to call people "dahling."
ReplyDeleteBespoke Classic :)
ReplyDeleteI love these silly quizzes. Not far off but there were some where I couldn't just choose one and one I didn't really like any of 'em!

I was an "unmade bed", I think that is polite for mixing styles, thats true - but I like to make my bed!
ReplyDeleteBy the way Bob Dylan is an unmade bed, too.
fun test to do...though it's a shame there are no picture to illustrate the kind of house style we are.
ReplyDeleteForm and function! Sounds right to me. And I guess I'm in good company with Alfred Hitchcock, Bill Gates and Martha Graham.
ReplyDeleteI swore I wasn't going to waste time with these this weekend - but I'm glad I did. I got my first big laugh of the day!
ReplyDeleteI'm an "Unmade Bed" (too true) - just like Woody Allen, Bob Dylan and...wait for it....Tina Fey!
Oh, internets, how you amuse me.....
Antiquated Espresso
ReplyDeleteTom Waits
Katherine Hepburn
Humphrey Bogart...
The way they describe it is actually pretty close to how I would describe my design sense. You know, since "heading for an episode of Hoarders" isn't a choice.
Wealth and Brains... Oprah, Michelle Obama...
ReplyDeleteYes, total logic here.. they have the wealth, I have some brains... explains all the years on my psychiatrist sofa.. I have the taste for the quality, tasteful life, and the budget of a pigeon.
***I have not spent my life on a psychiatrist sofa *** (my psychiatrist has a lawn chair)
I'm an "Antiquated Espresso"? I have always secretly wanted to be Bogart though ;)

Willy Nelson? Tina Fey? Psychiatrists with lawn chairs? I'm greatly enjoying your comments, people.
ReplyDeleteI'm a Modern Eclectic but I like the sound of an "Unpretentious Bon Vivant".
ReplyDeleteAnd what do I have to do to be a "Bucolic Artisan"?
Clare, I believe you'll need to move to a pasture among a herd of sheep and begin weaving baskets.
ReplyDeleteI picked up seaside informal, no surprise there... whitewash + open windows + exposed beams = pretty much yes.
ReplyDeleteI don't make my bed though. Encourages bedbugs! Also: time consuming. Also: I like the way it looks better unmade.
My mother is constantly horrified by this. I think she thought that when I graduated to adulthood I'd start tucking the blankets in. Nope.
I ended up with "Park Avenue Cocktail" - Marlene Dietrich, Audrey Hepburn, & Frank Sinatra. This was so fun! Thanks for sharing!
ReplyDelete"Old Money Extravagance"
ReplyDeleteCool. So where's my inheritance check?
Aren't Winston Churchill, Anthony Hopkins and Greta Garbo all considered, um, kind of eccentric, for lack of a better term?
Maybe I should find a psychiatrist.
Thanks for the best laugh I've had in a while!
I also got "winsome charm".
ReplyDeleteThis was hilarious. I loved it and am so happy to pass it along!
Also, your blog has inspired so many of my craft projects. I am always excited to see a new post.
