Decorating Style Quiz

I was quickly looking through some of the blogs I have bookmarked, I was checking out http://50shousewife.blogspot.com/ and I came across this quiz http://mydeco.com/imagini/test/ to find out your decorating style. I came up as CLASSIC CHIC. Here is the description if gives of my style.

CLASSIC CHIC
Your home is a serene and elegant haven displaying some beautiful pieces of furniture. You take great care in putting a room together and you are justly proud of the refined and understated look you have created. What may look effortless, however, requires dedicated time and a discerning eye in order to achieve that welcoming feel of lived-in grandeur.

Living Room
Your living room is a welcoming haven of grace and fine taste. If it was good enough for the Ancient Greeks and good enough for Georgian England, it's good enough for you! In interior design, the classic look is predicated on the ideals by balance, proportion and moderation. It is, to many, intrinsically pleasing to the eye, which is no doubt why it remains an enduringly popular look. In the living room, it's a style that errs towards formality. Less formal, vernacular accessories work surprisingly well, just as long as they don't tip over into the folksy. Soft neutral colours are easy to live with and easy on the eye, while floral prints and textiles are pretty and perennially appealing. Make comfort the priority in your living room: it's where you naturally go to watch TV, relax and de-stress.

Bedroom
Your bedroom shows a love of country comforts. Sleep is fundamentally important to our well being. Clean, fresh air can truly aid sleep, but so, too, does a well-made bed and the best mattress you can afford. Touch is an important issue in the bedroom, from crisp, linen sheets to wool or even sheepskin underfoot. You love the classic country look in your bedroom, using cool pastel blues and greens to create a fresh but restful sense of calm.

Dining Room
You're a paragon of style, no-holds-barred entertainer. At home, you have a classic dining area that's perfect for formal or glamorous dinner parties. It's a tried and trusted look that will never go out of style. Carver chairs take up space and so are best limited to top and tail of the dining table, and they need not even match the dining chairs down either side. Though expensive, a bone china dinner service really does set off the table to magnificently and can detract from other compromises if budget is an issue. When it comes to entertaining, you like to pull out all the stops.

Home Office
A little of what you fancy does you good -- even when you're working. Decorating your home office to reflect the spirit and personality of the rest of your home really does make all the difference - especially when it comes to sitting down and sorting out the filing! Your innate sense of style will probably lead you to creating a work space that's as individual as the rest of your home. Just bear in mind basic ergonomic principles, especially when choosing a desk and chair.

Conclusion
You combine period influences with clever solutions to the practicalities of day-to-day modern living.

OK ... so that's pretty close to what I want it to be! Right now it's far from this, but it's a work in progress.

Have you figured out your decorating style??
