Who doesn’t love a good quiz?
I found this decorating quiz via another blog I hit on completely by chance — and it’s a fun one.
Take a minute and take it. (Go ahead, come back when you’re done.)
—–
How’d it work for you? Just as I suspected — I’m a little bit country and a little bit rock-n-roll (if by country you mean cottage and by rock-n-roll you mean arts & crafts).
Specifically:
40% Cottage Chic
40% Arts & Crafts
20% Mountain Lodge
Or, in a funny coincidence, as I wrote to my friend Kev last week, before even knowing a darn thing about this quiz…(and with apologies to Donnie & Marie):
I’m a little bit country, and I’m a little bit arts & crafts. I’m a little bit Martha and Morris*, with a little bit of Lloyd Wright in my soul. Don’t know if it’s good or bad, but I know I love it so. I’m a little bit cottage, and I’m a little bit arts & crafts.
No surprise our house is the “eclectic” decorating mix it is. (Don’t you love designer-speak — that’s “mishmash” to everyone else.)
It’s why we have a lodgey, rustic, handmade stool…
Living next to some cottagey birdhouses and a basket full of primitive hearts…
On the hearth of our very arts & crafts fireplace…
So, if you just ignore our 1940s sort of Hepplewhite dining room and my traditionalish cherry office furniture and the contemporary (i.e., cheap) assemble-it-yourself entertainment center and assorted flea market and given-to-us pieces scattered throughout the house, it’s like we have a style! That we planned!
‘Know thyself?’ If I knew myself, I’d run away.
