You May Get

Classic Modern

Simply put: you're a fan of classic design. You don't like clutter, and you prefer that each piece in your home -- from furniture and wall art to rugs and decorative ceramics -- has a high resale value and a designer's name attached to it. You prefer to surround yourself with iconic pieces from the 1950s and '60s, especially Scandinavian design, mixed with an occasional machine age antique or 1970s graphic poster. Shops you'll like: Circa Modern, An Orange Moon, Manly Vintage, Cercis, Century Chicago, New Documents, Artefacto, Archifresh

Regency Glam

You like a pulled-together luxurious look with some flourish. While pieces in your home may be vintage, you don't like a dated or vintage look. Rather you prefer classic pieces -- preferably reupholstered! -- with decorative details to add warmth to materials like marble, brass, and black lacquer finishes. You're into window treatments, old oil paintings, glass domes and natural touches like peacock feathers and animal skins. Shops you'll like: Houndstooth Vintage, STUDY, First Born Vintage
