Find Your Architectural Style, Part 2
If none of the home styles in Part 1 spoke to you, one of these is sure to float your boat
The home you choose to live in is an outward expression of your personality. So it's important to choose the right architectural style.
A proper home style should fit you like a glove, assuming that you are Audrey Hepburn, because only she can pull off wearing gloves. And those gloves are resting delicately on the back of an Edwardian fainting couch in her well-appointed Parisian flat overlooking the Seine. I hate to be the the bearer of bad news, but we are not Audrey Hepburn. The rest of us gloveless and Parisian flat–less masses are left to fend for ourselves, endlessly searching for the home that matches our meager Hepburn-deficient lives. Fortunately I'm here again to help. Just give me a minute to get the melody of "Moon River" out of my head, and I'll try to narrow down your choices.
"Waitin' round the bend ... my ... huckleberry friend ... mmm, mmmm, mmmmmm ..."
Sorry. So, if the suggestions I gave you last time didn't fit, maybe this time you'll find something that resonates with your inner 1950s-'60s diva.

You enjoy long walks up steep hills while humming Judy Garland tunes. (I'm sticking with the diva theme today.)
Plus, you probably got the metal for the hardware from recycled SUVs.
"Aow, wouldn't it be loverly? Loverly, loverly, loverly, loverly ..." (I could do this all day.)
To be honest, I didn't notice the cabin in the background at first either.
I do declare.
"I get no kick in a plane. Flying too high with some gal in the sky is my idea of nothing to do ..."
Mies van der Rohe was a total diva. He was the Frank Sinatra of architecture.

Has Bon Iver done a Frank Sinatra cover yet?
You could work on your music here. You should take a guitar.
Divas have certainly changed.
