I ♥ Quizzes. {Decor Ones, That Is!}

I know this little quiz has been going around the blog-o-sphere for awhile now, and if memory serves, I may have even taken it before. But, whatever the case, I just took it yesterday and was delighted with my results:

Vintage Modern

Flea Market anyone? You know you are drawn to modern furniture and interiors, and yet you really don't like a space that feels cold and sterile. And who could blame you? And that's why Vintage Modern is so appealing to you. Though the backdrop of the room, the walls and windows, are many times white or monochromatic, the furniture and accessories have the color, shape and texture to bring the warmth into the space. The great thing about Vintage Modern is ease of mixing different styles in the one space. You can have a new modular sofa mixed with a great pair of chairs that your grandmother purchased in the late 1950's and the new and old work appear as though they were destined for each other. What's great is that even if you don't have time for swap meets and garage sales, so many of the pieces from the mid-century were so great that they have been remade and mimicked year after year.

Colors

When it comes to color, walls are seen as backdrops for the room. Neutral tones of gray, white, beige and brown are very common and black is a common accent color. Pops of color on the art, furniture and accessories can vary dramatically based on the person, however very common colors are teal blues, army greens and yellow as well as deep oranges and bright reds.

Usually I take these types of quizzes and the results hardly ever resemble my true style. But I think these results hit the nail on the head. And the images, yeah, they make me giddy.

Head on over and take it if you haven't yet! : )

Flower Child

The link below is for a fun, short, easy way to waste time quiz! I usually don't post these types of things, but when it told me I was a "daffodil," I had to.

You see, that's my mom's all time favorite flower, she even collects them. Really, how much more appropriate and sweet could it be?

Enjoy : )

"You have a sunny disposition and are normally one of the first to show up for the party. You don't need too much attention from the host once you get there as you are more than capable of making yourself seen and heard."

Style Yourself

A friend over at DecorPad suggested this site and it's super fun. It's a short quiz and it tells you your design style. Mine was 'super-cool country'--interesting, I would've never coined it as such, but it's always neat to take these kinds of things! Leave a comment and let me know what your style is.

SUPER-COOL COUNTRY

Minimalism and country cottages are, for many people, anathema. Not you! And rightly so: some of Pawson and Silverstrin's most successful houses are in the country. Even if your home looks quite conventional from the outside, inside you're aiming for a shrine to 'minimalist cool'. You're very precise about the way you want to decorate from materials and colours to the furniture and gadgetry. It's not an easy look to live with, but it will definitely work for you!

Living Room

Your living room is free from clutter and fuss. In the minimalist living room, what's been left out is as important as what's been included. You've fallen in love with a style of almost Zen clarity, purity and orderliness that for most people (and most lifestyles) involves too many sacrifices, though not for you. Carefully chosen items of furniture orchestrate the space, for this is a symphony of simplicity and restraint. Modern -- if not exclusively minimal -- accessories need to be carefully chosen: every item commands attention. Fresh, bright colours at the 'cool' end of the spectrum are welcoming and airy, while tactile finishes and soft furnishings cry out for company. Whether you're chilling out, socialising or surfing the net, your living room's a place that reflects the way you live your life.

Bedroom

Your bedroom has that classic look that never goes out of style. Sleep is fundamentally important to our well being. Clean, fresh air can truly aid sleep, but so, too, does a well-made bed and the best mattress you can afford. Touch is an important issue in the bedroom, from crisp, linen sheets to wool or even sheepskin underfoot. Elegance and relative simplicity are keynotes in your bedroom, using earthy, rustic colours and textures to create a sense of harmony with the natural world.

Dining Room

You're a clean slate waiting for a dash of spice. Different meals and types of food lend themselves to different styles of dining. Think about how you live your life and even the sorts of places where you like to eat out, and use these to create a dining area that suits your needs and reflects your personality. When it comes to entertaining, convenience is paramount.

Home Office

You draw inspiration from unlikely people and places. Making a dedicated space for a home office really does make sense: a desk with adjustable task lighting and adequate filing is all you need to keep on top of paperwork. Keep things simple when it comes to the actual desk/work area: too many visual distractions can clutter the mind just as nick-knacks clutter a desk.

Conclusion

You've achieved a rare sense of clarity and simplicity in your home that's 'cool' without ever being cold.
