I Have DADD (and free printables)

Decorating Attention Deficit Disorder
 You may have it too.
Here are the symptoms:

1. As a child I would rearrange the furniture in my parents home when they went out so that they would be surprised when they got home.

2. I have 3 projects going at once and
another 20 in my head.

3. I get bored quickly with a "look" and have
to change it.

4. I'm not finished with the project I'm working
 on when I see another one I want to start.

5. . Decorating is a never-ending process.
I have a to-do list for every room.

6. My crystal collection (Waterford, Lalique, Baccarat)  and silver must get along with my found treasures (thrift store, bulk trash, flea market).

7. When the seasons change, so must my decor: summer, fall, winter, spring.

8. Holidays: Halloween, Thanksgiving, Christmas, Valentine's Day, St. Patrick's Day, Easter, 4th of July all make me want to join the party.

9.  I like it all: rustic, refined, casual, elegant, traditional, classic, cottage, coastal, mountain, neutral and colorful. 

10. I'm easily influenced: blogs, HGTV, decorating books & magazines. There's always a great new idea I want to try!

11. I love, love looking at other peoples homes
 because I get to try new ideas when I get home.
I once dragged a fully decorated Christmas tree
from my living room to my family room
 after seeing my friend Cathy's tree.
I said that it would ruin Christmas unless
I moved the tree right this minute.
So much better! Christmas was saved!

11. Changing things rejuvenates my creativity.
 I was tearing pages and filing.
Now I'm pinning!

12. I like to find things and repurpose them.
 What can I do with that?

13. I never "leave well-enough alone".

  4. My husband has a t-shirt that says DADD but his means Dads Against Daughters Dating. That's fine for him but this fits me better!
