How to take the Style Quiz:

I LOVE 100% Mountain Lodge Style


You love nature! And really, how could you not? The more exposed wood (be it in log form or paneling) the better. And having natural stone in your home is a must! Especially at the fireplace, but stone top tables work too. If you could clad all the furniture in wood and stone you would, but splinters aren't fun and stone is cold! So when you need a place to sit (or recline in!), it should be comfortable and warm. Bigger is better when it comes to your favorite chair for watching TV or reading the newspaper. Leather is great (go natural!), but soft fabrics in warm tones also suit you well.

Materials

You prefer the simple things in life and you want natural materials over man-made whenever possible. The key feeling your space should invoke is warm and cozy. Whenever possible you let the furniture reflect the item it was built from - so come on, bring on the logs! But hey, where the full log isn't possible, at least expose the wood... the key here is to let it remain rustic when it should because nature isn't about being perfect, it's about being real! You enjoy patterns that highlight our natural surroundings such as plants, trees and animals. Because really - if you can't be outside, bring the outside in! Pieces should be large and sturdy, and encourage the whole family and all the friends to join in the fun.

Colors

When it comes to color you follow the same rules that apply to all other elements in the home: stay true to what is found in nature. You love earth tones, warm browns and reds that mimic trees and wooded forests, greens that reflect the leaves and grasses and dark blues that mirror the dark of sky and the deep blue of lakes and ponds. Colors that are dark and saturated are very appealing to you as they mimic the feelings of being in a heavily wooded area.

Space Planning

When it comes to arranging rooms, it's all about cozy! Combine a comfortable sofa with chairs that rock and/or recline and accessories that highlight the activities you love (fishing, hunting, hiking... you name it). You do not like ornate or frilly, and you avoid cluttering up spaces with items that are not necessary or do not remind you of the nature you love.

Home Away From Home: Manitou Lodge (Forks, WA)

沒錯，吸血鬼Edward和Bella的家--Forks。先聲明我並不是為了twilight來的，而是Olympic National Park真的好美！不過，這篇也不是要介紹國家公園。（哈）

我喜歡這間醫學院退休教授開的豪宅B＆B：Manitou Lodge
原因有三：
1. 她的床，棉被，和枕頭好好睡，好舒服 （阿我就是豬）：


2.獨立的早餐空間和時間（雖然沒有熱呼呼的現做早餐，但在貼心小冰箱的早餐籃裡，應有盡有，給睡豬覺的懶豬們盡興睡，哈哈）：


3. 離我心愛的海灘不遠：


附贈豪華客廳：


幽靜獨立小庭 （很適合在這裡拍拿書啃的文藝片）


住一夜實在是太可惜了，我好想留在這一個禮拜！

Home Away From Home: White Oak Inn (Ohio)

開始瞭解--為什麼爸媽總是在週末帶著我和妹妹上山下海。現在我慢慢開始體會 getaway vacation的美妙：沒有手機訊號，沒有電視，沒有電話，沒有電腦，沒有網路，沒有按表抄課的行程; 有大樹，綠草地，新鮮空氣，乾淨的床，現做的美味餐點，客廳裡的沙發，懶散的小貓，和幾本書。開著車就從城市裡的家，到鄉下裡躲起來了。

也是七月的某個週末，我們偷偷在不認份工作的星期五下午溜到white oak inn
鳥不生蛋的農村裡，上了GPS還帶錯路的小路，我們半信半疑地抵達這間大洋房了，方圓百里似乎就是這間房子而已。要問路還不容易呢！


前鼓手的男主人開門來迎接我們，帶我們去溫馨小房，小農舍，講解晚餐...女主人在廚房裡準備超乎期待的餐點（原來住在美國的加拿大人是美食高手！！）非常對我的味，竟然還給我們一張美食之旅的地圖（反正就是一路吃到底的觀光客路線圖）。他鄉遇同好的感覺真好。

客廳（還有古董鋼琴和屋旁挖出來的印地安人遺物）
