Living the last 3 years in a rental with contractor white walls has made me crave color! And coming from a home where all the color was on the walls and none in the furnishings... gave me quite a bland space. So, as this blog has well documented, I have totally changed up my fabrics and furnishings to add more color into my space.
But now I am over it!
I want my neutral back... but this time I think I can have it all! Now I am not scared of color or mixing patterns! I think I can go back to my neutrals but still have color in the important statements! I have been searching out color schemes for the new house and though I want neutral with color I still am not sure in what direction I am headed. So when I stumbled on this color quiz I thought ... Perfect!
It turns out I am a Earthy Modern.
This is described as:
You keep up with culture, style, and trends, but have an appreciation for timeless forms and simple lines. You value good design, quality craftsmanship, and prefer the streamlined to the overly embellished or cluttered. You also appreciate the warmth and individuality of natural materials and handcrafted things and are inspired by colors and forms from nature. This contrast is what makes your home intriguing and comfortable. You love mixing up different textures and are sensitive to the tactile qualities of objects. Your style is grounded and solid, not flighty or frilly.
You value creativity. You are stylish and fun loving, and can be an inspiration to others. You have a natural sense of drama, and you know you have to be willing to take risks—whether with colors, finishes, furniture choices, or ideas—for your home to stand out. Your home can be happy and lively and the place all of your friends want to be.
Now seriously! How more right on could that be? I knew this... but seeing it in writing totally makes me more confidant in my design style!

Happy Friday!

I just took the quiz. I scored as an Earthy casual. I find it so hard to choose colors for my home (that's why my blog is so full of paint color posts), and I am leaning toward neutral colors on the walls and bright pops of color in curtains and accessories. I look forward to seeing your choices, you have a great sense of style!
Love that quiz! i think it nailed my style when i took it and I think was really good for yours too!
Going to take the quiz now. So exciting that you are picking colours for the new place!
