Profiles Defined

Margo contemporary work/life balance form over function edgy goal oriented individualistic my home is unique

You are a busy, dedicated career woman, and as a Margo, you view your home as an expression of your sophistication as well as a place to recharge between work and social activities. You look for a home design that is unique or at least offers a few unusual features - perhaps a curved wall or a j-shaped island in the kitchen.

You like a sleek, contemporary style with an open design for easy mingling when you entertain. Low-maintenance is highly prized, but you'll go for more demanding products if they have the right amount of pizzazz. Easy maintenance extends to your yard, too - you would rather pick up flowers than grow them. But you do look for outdoor storage and living space with either a kitchen or fire pit.

If you have children or grandchildren, you want your home to accommodate them, but not be built around them. Storage for toys is a must, for instance, but an extra bedroom for the kids isn't a necessity. As a Margo, you may be found anywhere in the country, but so far you are most likely to be located very near or within easy distance of urban dining and cultural activities on either coast.
