mrdreamjeansIt's a fact. I watch a lot of HGTV and I like decorating spaces. I've helped several friends customize their homes and I've currently been given carte blanche to create a Heritage Suite at work. (I've selected the design, colors and decor for the room.) There's a program on HGTV, hosted by Chayse Dakota, called "Get It Together" where she helps couples compromise on a decorating style. On the HGTV website, there is a quiz you can take that suggests your design style from answering a few random questions. Here are my results with no manipulation:
You’re eccentric with a touch of sweet
For you, it’s all about the mix. Any style is welcome in your world as long as it complements something else. You’re drawn to funky interiors and eye-catching color combinations (think red and blue, orange and turquoise, purple and gold). You like contrasting patterns and unconventional architecture. You enjoy furnishings that remind you of your travels mixed with modern pieces and offbeat antiques.
According to your results, these styles suit you best:
* Eclectic
* Southwestern
* Mediterranean
Before taking this test this morning, I had taken photos of a redecoration of my guest bedroom. Odd how my choices fit the analysis perfectly.
The guest bedroom is in orange and turquoise, though
the colors in reality are more harmonious than the photo suggests
In terms of mixing antiques, western and odd choices from my travels, my living room is a good example:
Western leather couch, dad's childhood desk, a mission table he made for me,
a basket from Africa used as a coffee table ....
The questions on the quiz were very random. In one you chose your favorite dog from a group of four; in another, your favorite cookie ... Yet, the results were right on target. Go figure!
One final photo ... I framed and hung this 16x20 photo yesterday. It's an old building in Round Top, Texas and I photographed it a year ago today. I'm surprised at the number of people who have seen it, who love it. I call it simply and obviously, "Turquoise Door".
