Style Quiz

November 2, 2011 By Elizabeth@ Pine Cones and Acorns 7 Comments

       Some time ago I saw a fun Style Quiz onPigtown Design, Meg found it by way of the  How About Orangeblog. The quiz is light hearted and amusing, find it here at Stylish Home. Just for fun go over and try it and then come back here and in your comments let me know what your style is?

       

       I most resemble a “Bespoke Classic“.

      Details…

      A romantic simplicity defines your setting. To cook a grand meal in an elegant kitchen is your joy.

      Resort, retreat, getaway – all inside your bedroom. As with a technical dance, your style has it’s own vocabulary. Enjoying elegant outdoor fare.

      Afternoon refreshments on the patio Pre-war, upper east side attitude. Meeting all the requirements for a stylish home, commencement begins.

      Suspected “Bespoke Classic”

      – Princess Diana

      – Fred Astaire

      – Ralph Lauren

      I won’t lie, a lot of this discribes me.  I often “retreat” to my bed, in fact I can spend entire weekends there in my jammies with a pile of magazines and books and limitless cups of hot chocolate! I have a classic style in both home and dress and I love to cook a wonderful meal or sweets for entertaining.

      What are you? I am curious to see if the quiz is accurate for you? And if your style is what I imagine from your writings on your blogs.

        Here's me Elizabeth:
        A romantic simplicity defines your setting. Kitchen ambitions move slow by design. A bedroom with distinct character – warm and charming. Choreographed by you, the design fundamentals and colors present a moving style. Enjoying elegant outdoor fare. The glass of red – a highly recommended habit. Pre-war, upper east side attitude. Stand tall in the saddle… it's a short ride home..
        Suspected "Unpretentious Bon Vivant"
        – John Lennon
        – Cary Grant
        – Coco Chanel
        I'd have to say this is fairly accurate.
        Good fun! – THANKS

        Voila! That was fun. 🙂

        Cozy… not oversized – a hand crafted gem. Your kitchen is your prize. Decorative, finished… elegant. A bedroom with distinct character – warm and charming. Blown away by the handcrafted nature of art. A lady like table suitable to a royal wedding. Your 3rd coffee and just beginning to be productive. Hand knotted, vegetable dyed… a family history at your feet. A hard-boiled cynic with a noble side – you..
        Suspected "Handcrafted Obsession"

        – Frank Lloyd Wright
        – Grace Kelly
        – Michael Caine

        I am an "Unpretentious Bon Vivant!"

        The house at the end of the lane in the village by the sea. Your kitchen emanates a timeless warmth. Tossing and turning in feathers. Like the painter's brush, your composition is done in living color. A sense of rolling hills and vineyards surround this table. The tinkling glasses say cheers in the evening sun. On cobbled streets, character abounds. A right proper house you make….

        – John Lennon
        – Cary Grant
        – Coco Chanel

        THAT was fun. Thank your for the
        introduction to this cool site!

        Happy November,
        xx Suzanne

        Good morning dearest one!

        Well, I am a lover of French Brocante style, and through the years, I have tried to MAKE the look happen. I enjoy making SOMETHING OUT OF NOTHING and our home does reflect that in the HOMESPUN features of our entire home and gardens. I TOO LOVE A HOT drink at night to sooth me from the dust of day, and what I value are the quiet moments of poetry….you will see many poetry books and FRENCH books strewn about my home, along with whimsical art given to me by dear BLOGGERS LIKE YOU!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Anita

      Good morning friends! I need prayers, lots of pray Good morning friends! I need prayers, lots of prayers. My nephew was hit by a car on Thursday while riding his bike. To respect my brothers wishes I can’t say more. I believe in the power of pray and I would appreciate it tremendously if you could pray for my nephews full recovery as well as for his parents who are by his side. Sadly because of Covid they cannot be with him together at the same time. Thank you friends I appreciate this more than I can say. Have a wonderful day and remember life is fragile, it changes in an instant, hug your kids, your parents, your friends, family and pets. #powerinprayer #prayer #prayers #thereispowerinprayer #lifelately #spring #birds #birdsofinstagram

      This is how I feel tonight, as if I am seeing life This is how I feel tonight, as if I am seeing life through the blur of tears and sorrow. Sunday night my friend of 34 years lost her husband of 36 years, because of Covid he did not get to meet or hold his newborn grandson. Then just an hour ago we received a call that my husbands best friend died of a massive heart attack this morning. Sometimes life just knocks you to your knees and all you can do is pray for the  loved ones you’ve lost, cherish their memories and let your time with them sustain you until you meet again. Then you ask God for the strength to get up and move forward. #life #loss #givemestrength #givemestrengthlord #pray
      Although I see signs of spring, a daffodil popping Although I see signs of spring, a daffodil popping up from the ground, bright and colorful flowers in the garden center the weather and the calendar tell me otherwise. So I am hunkering down and taking solace inside enjoying the details of a collected home and life. This tapestry is a piece that we purchased over 25 years ago in Paris, it hang in the dining room and makes me smile every time I see it because it reminds me of such a happy and beautiful place. What do you collect?
