Just to make sure that the two of us are on the same page, last week I had Gregg take an online style quiz on Sproost (www.sproost.com). The quiz takes you through a series of home interior photos that you rate on a scale from "Love it" to "Hate it", and in the end it defines your style for you - either defined by a combination of styles, or it under-covers a definite winner.
Greggs result - 100% Vintage Modern
For scientific purposes I took the same quiz (actually it wasn't exactly the same as the photos adjust depending on your previous answers) to see how my style compares to Gregg's.
To throw us a curve ball I scored 100% Vintage Modern!
"Flea Market anyone? You know you are drawn to modern furniture and interiors, and yet you really don't like a space that feels cold and sterile. And who could blame you? And that's why Vintage Modern is so appealing to you. Though the backdrop of the room, the walls and windows, are many times white or monochromatic, the furniture and accessories have the color, shape and texture to bring the warmth into the space. The great thing about Vintage Modern is ease of mixing different styles in the one space. You can have a new modular sofa mixed with a great pair of chairs that your grandmother purchased in the late 1950's and the new and old work appear as though they were destined for each other. What's great is that even if you don't have time for swap meets and garage sales, so many of the pieces from the mid-century were so great that they have been remade and mimicked year after year (www.sproost.com)"
I will take these results to show that Gregg and I are both steering towards the same general idea - but will leave it at that. Speaking for myself my "vintage modern" is a little more "vintage" and a little less "modern". The word modern scares me to an extent, I would prefer terms like "clean" "simple" and "timeless".
