For better or worse, theme decorating is here to stay, at least for now. A great way to incorporate a theme is to base a room on a destination, somewhere you have been, or you have always wanted to go. What country is your decorating destination? Take the quiz below & leave a comment & let me know if the quiz was accurate & what your decorating destination is. Check out our “Dream Home” category for tips on basing decorating around a destination theme.
What’s your Decorating Destination?
Caribbean. You draw your inspiration from sandy beaches & beautiful Islands. Use whites & beiges on the walls with just a pop of a brillant blue or green. Bring in large palm trees & use a glass coffee table to give a light & airy feel. Put white sheer curtains on the windows & surrond yourself with beautiful artwork of the ocean.

One of my goals in life is to never be on TV. I do not want to walk into a room covered in hay that was decorated as a surprise & act like it is the thought that counts. I make sure to tell people, “I watch decorating shows because it’s SOMEONE ELSE’S HOUSE, never let any of them inside, do you hear?”. That’s probably why I have all the friends. I have made a new absolutely free personality quiz called “Which decorating show are you?” My result is “Design on a Dime”, which is true, I hate spending money on decorating. How accurate is the quiz? Leave a comment & let me know which decorating show you are.
Which Decorating Show are you?
Fine, I’ll admit it, I’m lazy, very lazy. So if the curtains are difficult to open, I just won’t do it. So I go to Wal-mart, they have really pretty but really expensive curtain rings, those won’t work because they are expensive, enough said. Instead I buy a few packs of small gold clip on curtain rings, a pack is under $2 in my area. Then I just clip up my curtains and stand there in amazement opening & closing them over & over & making everyone come in to see how easy the curtains are to open & close.
I’ve also just used shower curtain rings as long as they clip on, painted them dark brown and sponged a little black over them so they look like wood. This imitates the much more expensive wooden curtain rings that have to be sewed onto drapes, (Sewing, bah, like that will happen) plus they are so far up they look real. This is also great because you can use anything that is fabric for curtains without having to sew, a sheet, scarf, or just some pretty billowly sheer fabric, anything that is fabric that want to see on your window, you can use. These are fast & easy no sew window treatments. Works for me!
I get embarrassed for other people because I figure they don’t know what fools they are making of themselves so someone has to be embarrassed for them. This trait had most of the final episode of “Design Star” on mute. Not even Ramona wearing a superman costume like it was everyday clothes could save this episode from being boring. It was the basic end to a reality show, cast reunion with everyone acting like they don’t hate each other & laughing at clips of their old fights. The only thing this episode reminded me of, was I was sad that Joseph was sent home so early in the competition. The patio that he & Tim designed was the only room in the entire competition that caught my eye. Plus, he had such integrity when he took the fall for his team when the mistake over the table was made, & he had a great personality, & he seemed to have real talent. I was hoping that Alice & David would host a show together, but no such luck. Alice & David both won cars. Then finally David was chosen as the next “Design Star”, while Alice graciously accepted defeat. I will miss this show & hope it comes back next season, although I doubt many people will be able to match the class & good sportsmanship of the final competitors. What did you think of the Design Star Finale? Was the right Design Star chosen to host their own show? Leave a comment & let me know.
