One of my very favorite blogs, Young House Love, linked to this quick little style quiz at Ethan Allen today.
How surprised was I when I clicked through the series of photos that appealed to me and was presented with my results?
Very.
Metro? I’m metro? Uh, no, I’m a suburban girl, through and through. Right? But then, I started exploring their sample rooms for this style, and I quite liked three of them.
Yeah, I can do Metro.
1. Look at those white vases. I know the whole “white grouping” thing is so popular as to be almost overdone these days, but I really am drawn to it.
2. The woven bench.
3. Lots of neutrals with splashes of color.
4. Geometric patterns.
The only thing missing is a certain measure of softness…something cozy. I’m reminded of homes where I babysat as a teenager, when I was chilled after the kids had gone to bed and couldn’t for the life of me find an afghan or a quilt to cuddle under on the sofa. Add a little coziness (and a personal touch or two) to these rooms, and I think they’d be close to perfect.

My result was Global, and the runner-up was Villa. Global looks more like my house – I don’t have a specific theme or design, just whatever I like. It works. Villa is more like what makes me feel comfortable at a bed and breakfast or hotel or what have you. Homey, interesting, romantic.
That was fun, thanks for sharing!

Villa was my runner-up, too. 🙂 I wish my house looked like any of the styles, honestly. It’s a little box-heavy at the moment…

I kept coming up with Glamour (with a suggestion to check out Estate). Interesting…

Ha! I got Glamour, with a runner up of Country? What? I would not buy the flaf pillow or the flowery pillow, but “I don’t think so” was not an option, lol. I don’t see me in a penthouse in Manhatten. I also don’t see me in a farm house with quilts and flowery pillows, lol.
