POP QUIZ: DECORATING THROUGH THE DECADES

I found this quiz in the April 2017 edition of HGTV magazine.  I thought it would be fun to try to post it here the best I can......hey, we can't talk about politics!!

I'm anxious to see the answers.  There were a lot more that I didn't know than that I did know.  It was a fun quiz though.

Thanks @tends2dogs - This was a lot of fun! I just got home a little while ago, and it was nice to see something light!

 

I didn't do that well. I'm an "associate." I knew I had one right. Designing Women was one of my top favorite shows of all time. DH gave me the whole season when it came out, and since I grew up in Georgia I could understand how some of these women were. I loved all of them - but lost a lot of interest once Delta Burke left. I liked all of the romance on the show too - both for the show and IRL! 

 

I thought I'd get the Fiesta one right. I have my grandmother's, and that had to be about the same time. But I missed the ivory. 

 

Some of the others I knew and some I guessed. Thanks again for posting this! Smiley Happy

I only got 6 right.  I didn't guess on any of them though.  It was an interesting quiz.

@beach-mom  I missed the Ivory for the Fiesta, too. I go out "picking" or antiquing and don't remember seeing much Ivory.  What color do you have?  There used to be a rumor or such that the orange was toxic.  Most likely lead in the paint?  Could just be an urban legend. Smiley Happy  I am not sure if I would microwave in the older pieces, though. LOL

That "Jungle Room" of Elvis Presley really creeps me out.  I can't imagine relaxing in that room.
