a) feel excited and inspired by all of the beautiful, creative tablescapes you're constantly seeing
b) feel pressured and intimidated wondering how you'll ever put together an attractive, festive table
c) you have everything you need, entertain frequently, and wow your guests every time with your stunning tabletop creations
d) don't really care about tabletop design
e) can't wait to start the fun -- how exciting to have the opportunity to create a gorgeous table for your guests to enjoy, but you're missing a few items that would finish your design perfectly.

In the quiz above, my answer would be E. Wouldn't it be wonderful to have cabinets full of everything you could ever need to create a spectacularly memorable dinner table like Carolyne Roehm's above? I'd have more glassware. Colored glassware creates such an impact on the table, and I'd love to start collecting some soon.
