You scored 40% Eclectic
If you scored 30-60%: You save your eclectic, unconventional style sense for more intimate areas of the house like your bedroom or family room...that way if you make a mistake, who cares. Just repaint the room, re-arrange your leopard spotted pillows and plaid throws and start all over again. You're still not 100% confident if your eclectic tastes are bordering on genius or bad taste, but that's what really good friends are for.

That was cool... Who i the hell has an umbrella stand though?!?! Oh but I love the see no evil, hear no evil, speak no evil coat rack it matches my lamps....
I got 30% on modern and eclectic.....
You scored 30% 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 30-60%: You like the look of modern accents in the home, but too much can make a home feel and look like the Jetsons. You're crazy about modern technology and can hardly wait to get a flat screen TV, a refrigerator that tells you when you're out of milk, and a robotic butler who does dishes.



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.

50% Modernist- If you scored 30-60%: You like the look of modern accents in the home, but too much can make a home feel and look like the Jetsons. You're crazy about modern technology and can hardly wait to get a flat screen TV, a refrigerator that tells you when you're out of milk, and a robotic butler who does dishes.

30% Traditionalist- 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.

20% 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.

You scored 0% Traditionalist
If you scored less than 30%: The only traditions you follow are Christmas and New Year's. You follow your own path, and that is a good thing!

You scored 40%

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 (http://www.ballandball-us.com/), kennedyhardware.com (http://www.kennedyhardware.com/), and salvageone.com (http://www.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.


If you scored less than 30%: Retro reminds you of the smell of mothballs and avocado and orange countertops and linoleum. Stick with the shiny and new -- it suits you.

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.

You scored 10%

Eclectic


If you scored 60% or above: Coloring in the lines was never your strong suit. You live to mix and match colors, textures, periods, and prices! A Louis XVI chaise lounge looks amazing sitting next to a Philippe Starck acrylic chair or a shantung silk beanbag chair. The element of surprise gives you a thrill so you're constantly moving things around.
