I did, however, find a design quiz at HGTV that was right on the money for me. The results weren't any big surprise, although the questions were not what I expected when I took the quiz!
If it's new, it's you. No overstuffed chairs or anything that could be described as froufrou! You're drawn to clean lines and a minimalist palette (think black, white, neutrals and a few bold colors that "pop" against that background--like orange, red or turquoise). You like your patterns graphic and your buildings industrial. The older furnishings you enjoy are mid-century modern or stark Asian or African pieces without any embellishments.
According to the results, these styles fit you best: Modern, contemporary, Asian.
If y'all have seen pictures of my great room in my New House Pictures, you'll know that's exactly what I did there. Everything is a neutral. Walls are off white, countertops are gray with a pattern in it, wood is stained a light honey-gold color and then I have the accent walls. A brilliant blue that pops. I don't have the rooms pulled together yet, but I have a bright pink vase that's about 2 feet high in the corner against the blue wall. I plan to put a bright orange silk sunflower in there. I was kind of amazed how dead-on this quiz was about my style. :-)
Worked on revisions yesterday, but it was hard getting my head back into this story after being away from it for several weeks. I kept fighting the need to get up and wander. I'm hoping my brain finds it easier to settle in today.
