What's your Design Horoscope for 2017?

Whether you believe in horoscopes or not, most people think it's fun and entertaining to read them. I've culled some design-oriented information from various Internet sources about horoscope signs

Plus, I added a few extrapolations of my own.
So, I offer these horoscope design profiles for the new year . . .  just for fun! Which one are you?

There you have it. Does your profile match your actual design personality? 
Will you keep some of these characteristics in mind as you enter 2017? 
Or is it all a bunch of nonsense?

As for me, my profile (Cancer) hit the nail on the head perfectly.
My upstairs walls are all painted gray-green, I love antiques, and thrifty is my middle name! 
Happy New Year to all!

  1. Well, I am right on the cusp of a Pisces, 20 March, first day of spring baby.

    Pisces: February 19-March 20
    Mystical, eccentric, compassionate. Ideal home: A Yurt or a Tiny House. Design Profile: Great ideas, unfussy furniture, close to water, relaxed atmosphere, ethereal, well organized. home provides an anchor. Colors: greens.

    The only two things in the description that are NOT me are, 'well organized, and colors being greens. I do live in a tiny house, am 3 miles from the ocean, my cottage is my little haven/anchor.

    Interesting post.

    Have a great 2017 ~ FlowerLady

  2. Sagittarius, and I do in fact live in a farmhouse style home on the side of a mountain, LOL!! Got it right except for one detail, I like purples and greens but not so much blue.

  3. LOVED all these photos and especially the Castle Marne one. Used to live not far from there and walked past it on my way to walking into downtown for work. Now that I'm on the NW side, I miss that fabulous structure. P.S. I think my design horoscope was right on! 😇 Warm wishes for a wonderful 2017.

  7. This was fun, creative post to read. However, my horoscope design profile does not fit my style at all. Regardless, I still enjoyed reading your descriptions and seeing the photos you paired with the descriptions.

    Happy New Year.
