HGTV Can't Even Peg Me

I have been in the process of deciding my decorating style and it has not been easy. Normally I would not even attempt to declare a certain style but I have gotten the question from a lot of people. I can't even say a specific color theme because I'm not close to having one.

The way I choose the decor for my house can best be summed up the same way a Supreme Court justice once said in the sixties while trying to define the term "obscene" in his decision, "I know it when I see it."

Still, I want to say, "Hi my name is Kendall and I'm french country," or "shabby chic" instead of "Hi my name is Kendall and I'm french country meets rustic, meets french bistro, meets federal with a hint of dutch colonial, meets american with a touch of cottage style thrown in for good measure."

In hopes that I would be able to get a definitive answer I took a quiz on HGTV's website. The quiz consisted of pictures and questions that you sort and answer. At the end when I clicked the submit button I was excited to see what the experts of HGTV thought. The answer..............

20% formal

20 % french country

20% federal

20% nantucket

20% vintage antique

"Hi my name is Kendall and I'm eclectic. Get off me."

I have found some examples of styles I love and ideas I am using for the house. Feel free to make your own analysis of my decorating style because I give up.

I'm pretty sure that I used that paint color for a small shelf I have in the kitchen that holds cook books.
