Pencils Out: Decorating Style Quiz

I came across this quiz on a lovely blog. Sproost offers a design quiz that helps you determine what decorating styles you like, then it shows you room examples of things that fit your style.

I never would have pegged myself as a "Classic, Traditional Country and Mountain Lodge" gal all wrapped into one! When I first saw "country" I was appalled, but quickly felt better (and bad that I passed judgement on the word country) after reading the description for Traditional Country:

"You love spaces that feel casual and lived in. Furniture is practical and comfortable, and yet at the same time its very stylish. The best part of country style is how much it highlights collection and found objects. Antiques here, garage sale finds there and Aunt Milly's hand-me-downs throughout. Unique items that used to serve very practical purposes are now on display, and their history seems to permeate the home. Each space in the home seems to invite friends and family to come in and stay a while. There is a true sense of home felt throughout."

Yes, yes, and yes! I think that's me. Take the quiz and let me know what you come up with. I'm going to ask Himself to take the quiz too to see how we match up (or not!). Here is the rest of my style as described by my quiz results:

Mountain Lodge
"You love nature! And really, how could you not? The more exposed wood (be it in log form or paneling) the better. And having natural stone in your home is a must! Especially at the fireplace, but stone top tables work too. If you could clad all the furniture in wood and stone you would, but splinters aren't fun and stone is cold! So when you need a place to sit (or recline in!), it should be comfortable and warm. Bigger is better when it comes to your favorite chair for watching TV or reading the newspaper. Leather is great (go natural!), but soft fabrics in warm tones also suit you well."

Classic
"What's old is new again! The beauty of Classic style is how well it takes all of the beautiful forms, colors and textures of the past and reinvents them in a way that feels both fresh and inspired. The style itself is a mix of European influences and French, English and Italian antiques and replicas are often used together. Furniture is well proportioned and comfortable and the rooms give off an air of sophistication and grace. Oil paintings depicting still-life or nature scenes and emphasizing symmetry of pairs helps maintain the traditional nature of the room. Windows are often covered with opulent fabric shades and/or drapery. Traditional rooms give off an air of history that seems to say "I was here long before you, and will remain long after you've gone." And yet, even with this level of sophistication, the rooms are soft and inviting."
