You scored 40% Traditionalist
If you scored 60% or above: When they sang "Tradition" from Fiddler on the Roof, they were singing your song! Forget trends, forget fads, you invest your money in time-honored styles. Get subscriptions to Traditional Home Magazine, Southern Living and Victoria for great style ideas.


If you scored 30-60%: A little tradition goes a long way. You can do Chippendale and Rococo like the best of them, but you like to stay in the moment with a few contemporary pieces.


You scored 30% Retro-File
If you scored 60% or above: Looking to the past gives you inspiration. Flea markets and tag sales are where you get your best ideas. You've even been known to refinish a few flea market finds on your own. And, you probably know stores like Restoration Hardware and Anthropologie like the back of your hand. Installing reproduction light fixtures, faucets, and doorknobs are your favorite ways to add the retro touch to your home without breaking the bank. Some good websites to add to your favorites: ballandball-us.com, kennedyhardware.com, and salvageone.com.

If you scored 30-60%: You love the look of retro, but instead of spending your Saturdays at the flea market, you'd rather take advantage of reproduction vintage pieces that you can buy new at the mall. Peeling paint, rusty watering cans, and dingy smelling flea market finds are not what you want to bring into your house. Give you faux, time-weathered home accessories and you're good to go.


You scored 20% Modernist
If you scored 60% or above: You were ready for the new Millennium before anyone else, and you have a style-forward decorating sense that always combines form and function. Your home is a shrine to great 20th century modern home accessories. If you want to add to your collection, go to great websites like: retromodern.com, modemoderne.com, modcity.com, and simplymodern.com.

If you scored less than 30%: To you, newer does definitely not mean better. Take comfort in the fact that "everything old is new again": manufacturers are making appliances with shapes and styles that harken back to the '40s and '50s.

You scored 10% Eclectic

If you scored less than 30%: You like to pick one style and go with it -- no matter whether it's traditional, modern, or Martian

Thanks Mystique! I knew I had more taste than what was in my mouth! ;) hehehehe
