Quiz Outcomes
-
1.you're a S T A C K E RIf you're an extreme stacker, you may say you're living in "organized chaos" most of the time... but you'd be lying if you said you can always find what you need. You may have the intention of finding things a home, but once a pile begins, it's hard to make it stop!
-
2.you're a S H O V E RWe'd be willing to bet most of your home looks pretty tidy... as long as no one opens any doors. You prefer to keep guests away from your closets and cabinets, because the hidden areas in your home can easily become a disaster. You live by the motto: "out of sight, out of mind" - especially when it comes to the clutter.
-
3.you're a S H O P P E RYour shopping habit tends to overrule the tidiness of your home - whether it's clothes shopping, buying multiples of things you already have in the pantry "just in case," or stocking up on new household items every time there's a sale. You may have organizing systems in place that should work for you in theory, but you just can't seem to stop them from overflowing.
-
4.you're a S O L V E RHelp? No way, you'd never ask for that! You're always looking for DIY solutions, but you tend to act before really thinking things through. You make changes on a whim and find yourself constantly re-working the same spaces over & over again.
