Take our Just-For-Fun Quiz!

 

Read these statements and (just for fun) give yourself one point for each one that describes you. (See Scoring Information on Page 2.)

<> Your collection of decorating magazines weighs more than your refrigerator.

<> You spend more time browsing in home decorating stores than you do in grocery stores.

<> You watch HGTV more than three hours a week -- add 25 extra points if it's more than three hours a day.

<> You mentally redecorate every room you walk into, even the ladies room at Denny's.

<> You'd rather browse online for decorating ideas than eat dessert.

Add 25 extra points if the dessert you're skipping includes chocolate.

<> You absent-mindedly blurt out "That's one of THE hot colors this year" when your friend orders mango salsa at lunch.

<> You spend three weeks researching the perfect techniques to paint clouds on your powder room ceiling, then spend another six weeks deciding on the right paint color for the blue sky.

<> You surf the net for decorating ideas during work. Add 15 extra points if you pretend you're studying a spreadsheet whenever someone walks by.

<> Your collection of holiday decorations is about to overtake the garage. Add 10 extra points if you now have to park outside.

<> You keep back issues of decorating magazines that are more than 5 years old. Add 10 extra points for every box of back issues stored in the garage.

<> You stop at every flea market and garage sale you see.

<> You mark local designer showhouses on your calendar up to a year in advance.

<> You've gathered a stack of paint chips that's higher than your cosmetic bag.
