What's Your Style?

I took the style quiz at Sproost.

Turns out my style is a 50/50 split between Wine Country and Classic! A pretty accurate result I think.

Wine Country Style




Tuscan sun, here we come! The Wine Country style reflects the feelings evoked by the seaside regions of Europe such as the South of France, Spain, Italy and Greece. The style manages to be both refined and casual, such that you can mix beautiful antiques with more rustic wrought iron or wood and the result is both sophisticated and cozy.

Furniture is large and comfortable, colors are bright and cheery, and regardless of the color palette the spaces almost always feel warm. You can easily translate the style into the perfect family environment but you can just as easily emphasize the more formal pieces and make your room the perfect adult getaway.

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.

What's your style?

I loved doing this!! I was 50% Nantucket (the beach) and the other half was split between Mountain lodge and Southwestern (I wonder why?...lol). Nothing too formal, that's for sure!!

Hi Rosanne ... mine was 60% Nantucket, 20% Classic, 20% Traditional. Very complicated. No wonder I can never make up my mind on what I like. Just like scrapbooking! Uh! Hope you're enjoying the sun - Jeannie

Okay, did it again to see if I could narrow it done. OMGosh, I got 33% Wine Country Style, 33% French Eclectic, 34% Nantucket.
So, well, I'm just going to go back to bed it's less complicated!
