"Alright, class, take out a pen/pencil and a blank sheet of paper..." This was probably one of the most terrifying things you could ever hear come from your teacher's mouth growing up, right? "Dang it! I knew I should have read the next act from Antigone instead of spending two hours on Dungeons and Dragons before falling asleep in a pool of my own drool!"
Well, don't worry, this is not one of those kinds of quizzes. This is so much better. The only grade you get on this quiz is one that tells you how awesome you are. (Yay, radical individualism!)
But, really, I think that you will enjoy this quiz for it wil help you in pinning down your own personal aesthetic style. What kind of rooms/enviornments do you feel most comfortable in? What colors do you prefer to be surrounded by? Although you probably want to say, "I'd like to think I know myself well enough to know what my favorite color is." I am not saying that you don't know what your favorite color is. However, if you are like anybody else, you probably have a lot of things that you like and all of these things don't always "go well together."
So the question isn't "Do you know what your favorite things are?" but rather "Do you know how to make all of your favorite things fit together in the same room in such a way that you actually want to be in the room once you have your stuff in it?" (Long winded, sorry).
There are a number of different sites around the internet that offer (free!) "quizzes" that help you pinpoint how you like your personal environment. Here are a few that I thought helpful:
Home Goods
Ethan Allen
Creative YOUniverse
There are many others that you could stumble upon out there in the wild blue wonder of the Internet. But for now, here are three to wet your appetite. Let me know what your style is. I promise to share mine in a near-future post!
From Home Goods, I got "Country Casual" and the color palate is pretty corals, off whites, and pale yellows. I'M A FAN! (Note our living room color palate is green and black... umm so you're right I don't know my favorite color.)
