Tea & Toast :: What’s Your Nesty Style. It’s Quiz Time

 

Today for Tea & Toast I thought I’d  change things around a little. I hope you don’t mind.

I thought it’d be fun to get you all involved in a little style quiz, just for starters. Then, when we know what style you are I’m going to take you on a fun style journey, over the next few weeks, to cover all of the 6 styles that the quiz will  cover.

 

Below is a list of 9 questions. Underneath that list will be the results which will tell you your nesty style. Please don’t scroll down to the results until you’ve finished answering the questions ‘cos that will spoil it all;)

 

When you’ve finished the quiz questions, count up the amount of A’s, B’s, C’s etc you got and work out which is the most common for you. Then scroll down and check the results to see what style you are.

Sound pretty simple?

Oh, and before we start, this quiz is only meant to be a bit of fun. There’s no boxing you in here. And I’m only an amateur quiz maker so this may not be the most accurate predictor of style duh!

 

Oh, and one more thing, keep scrolling down because after the results I’ll start Your Nesty Style Tea & Toast journey today, with the first of the 6 styles.

So what do you think? Are you up for a bit of fun?

I'm an "A"! Although I'll be interested to see if I'm more drawn to the piccies for the other categories! There were plenty here that I loved though - the gorgeous pillowy chill-out spot in front of the white fireplace, the white kitchen with the bunting in the background....just to name a few ;)
This was fun Kim!

Maxabella said...

Such fun! I'm As and Es and I LOVED the Boho post you've got going here, Kim. Too much colour (which I think is where E comes in for me), but all the textures and artistic shapes - swooooon!

I'll be back to check out each Nester style each week. x
