I don't think so. In the captain's thread they were very specific about this task: ( here is the copied answer)

I think we are going to go with the dictionary version which is like an interior designer:

dec¦or|ator
[ˈdɛkəreɪtə]

NOUN
a person who decorates, in particular.
BRITISH
a person whose job is to decorate the interior of buildings by painting the walls and hanging wallpaper.
"she became a painter and decorator"
NORTH AMERICAN
a person whose job is to design the interior of houses by choosing colours, carpets, and furnishings.

88432 Lol, not at all. Strategy has a part to play in all challenges. Shorter books are perfect for this challenge. I definitely read my share of them these last few months.
In most challenges you can usually request who you would like to play with!

No, daylight savings time was in March. Which should push the end back for me by an hour:-)

Edit--- yup , I see what you mean now. I supsect someone copied and pasted and forgot to change. I took it from another team's page as I couldn't find it again in the captain's thread. I'll fix it:-)
