What's your Architectural Home Style?

I love a good quiz, so I took this Architectural Home Style Quiz that I stumbled upon (just before my trip) via It's the little Things that make a House a Home..., and out of the 18 most common architectural styles, mine supposedly is the Spanish Colonial Revival....

... built in the early 20th century these homes incorporate elements of Mediterranean architecture, which I love...

... arched doorways and windows, and the large stucco fireplace, I adore...

... and the style is prevalent in the toasty climates of Florida, California and the Southwest, and I do see a warmer climate in my future, so not bad. But which home style did I pick?

I chose the contemporary style home. It retains modernism's devotion to connecting the indoors and outdoors and to achieving a feeling of spaciousness, which I've always felt attracted to -this coming from someone who lives in an old Dutch Colonial home!

... and I'm happy to be back and want to thank you all for the wonderful comments you left..., a big hug goes out to you!

And if you too take this quiz and write a post about it, please email me your link. I'd love to add it here.

It's Hooked on Fridays over at Julias Hooked on Houses where we all share what we love.

Oh, I was up to question 9 and then my Internet froze :-( I'll try the quiz again later and let you know what I come up with.

Love the houses and rooms you posted -- I'd be OK with either of those styles!! :-)

I'm a rancher. I hope it's a rambling rancher. I can definitely do with the stairs.

I'm loving the Mediterranean vibe now... but would also love to have a resort style home for a weekend house too.

We've got a couple of arched doorways in our home and I love them! Can't wait to take this quiz and see my results!

Hi Maya,
I had a very nice visit on your site! Thank you for stopping by mine and deciphering the German translation for me. I also would pick the modern home on this post, but both are very nice. I am off to take the home style quiz. ~Cathy~

That fits the saying, "Like living in heaven" I would do just about anything to live by the sea. Lovely homes too.

That first picture is stunning!! Thanks so much for joining in on my blog party and sharing this great post!

Welcome back!

I took this quiz too and I had the same result...but I couldn't decide if I was forced to choose. I love too many styles to narrow it down to one. Love all the photos you chose to accompany this post.
