The reason why some people have a hard time decorating their home is because they don't know where to start and get overwhelmed. Also, they don't really know what they like or what their "style"is. This gives you a starting point and gives you ideas that appeal to you. When you know what style you prefer it's much easier to narrow down what you want to do with your space. But it's also important to not just buy everything you see that fits that style and matches perfectly.The best advice is to buy pieces that speak to you, not to buy pieces that match! This way you are comfortable in your home and it is an eclectic collection of you!
Here is a great link of a style quiz to find out what style you are! It also gives great definitions of each style

Thanks Jamie for that website. I'm so scared when it comes to decorating and have honestly told myself that I will be calling you when I move back to California for ideas :o)
Cool! Kirk and I are retarded and like EVERYTHING, and it all looks bad when we put it together. :-)that or...everything we own is either green...or blue...Thanks for the tip! I'm gonna hit that site!
you just described me!
I must be lame because I can't get the quiz to open :(
If you are having a hard time getting the quiz go to hgtv.com, click on Design Styles on the left and then click on the quiz. Let me know if you got it and what your style is!
There must be something not compatiable with my pop-ups cause it just won't open :( But my very ignornat guess would be something along the lines of comtemporary and shabby chic.
