HG Openhouse Blog

Well, we  HG Bloggers have all been having great fun this week taking the Stylescope quiz on the HomeGoods website. Deb and Cathy have already shared their results and I think the quiz described them both to a “t”.

According to the quiz,  a well-organized home makes me happy.   This picture was one of many that came up when I Googled “elegant modern” and here’s how the quiz results described my style:

“You are an “elegant modern.” You keep up with culture, style, and trends, but have a classical appreciation for beautiful forms, simple lines, and well-made functional objects. You are inspired by good design and quality craftsmanship, and prefer the streamlined and a bit of breathing room to the overly embellished or cluttered.

Yet your home is warm and a bit glamorous, not cold or cookie-cutter modern. You like mixing in a bit of flourish: beautiful antiques, luxurious fabrics, cozy throws, and some lovely accessories that add up to a refined, inviting, well-designed home.

You value order. You feel happiest if your home is well organized. You understand that when your house is in order, your mind feels clearer. Rather than a lot of meaningless objects or overly-designed items, you are happier with a few well-placed things. Your home is your respite from a busy life. Try to avoid letting things into your home that you don’t really love.”

Gosh, see the highlighted sections?  Does that sound like this professional organizer or what?   I was so pleased the quiz noticed that despite my pared down style my home still has warmth and elegance.  And I felt very affirmed in my choice to only have those things in my home that I really love — even if that means waiting months or years until I find it.

So, any other elegant modern folk out there?  What form does this style take in your home? Be sure to leave me a comment and let me know I’m not the only one  who’s clutter-free and happy ( :
