1. Your ideal day in North County looks like…
- A beach walk at sunrise, followed by a cozy café stop along the 101.
B. Browsing the Solana Beach boutiques and adding small updates to your home.
C. Hosting friends for a game night or fireside hangout after a long coastal hike.
2. When you refresh your home for the season, you focus on…
- Soft textures — throws, pillows, and anything that brings warmth to your coastal space.
B. Bringing in fresh greenery, scent diffusers, and layering in clean, minimalist décor.
C. Creating a full “winter mode” ambiance: ambient lighting, hearty meals, and stocked barware.
3. Your perfect North County home would be…
- A breezy coastal bungalow with an outdoor shower and space for surfboards.
B. A modern, light-filled townhouse in Encinitas with curated design details.
C. A spacious craftsman or ranch-style home in Rancho Santa Fe with room to host the whole crew.
4. Your holiday hosting vibe is…
- Relaxed and unfussy — think cozy snacks and open windows letting in that crisp ocean air.
B. Elevated and aesthetic — a perfectly set tablescape and a candle that smells like a Nordic spa.
C. Fun, lively, and a little indulgent — cocktails, comfort food, and a playlist that gets everyone talking.
5. Your home’s seasonal scent profile is…
- Sea salt + cedarwood.
B. Eucalyptus + vanilla.
C. Chocolate + spice (and maybe something a little boozy).
