Renovation addiction is a contagious disease that mainly affects women between the ages of 20 and 40 years old. The disease blooms in the autumn along with other viral diseases, and attacks the parts of the brain that process impressions. At worst, the disease can be chronic and you must live with it for the rest of your life. Treatment of the disease is very difficult, and in some cases, impossible.
The source of infection is usually friends who are renovating, but the virus can also be transmitted through the optic nerves by reading magazines or blogs and seeing how others do things. It is estimated that people who are open to new impulses and ideas are more easily infected than others – that is, people who are original, imaginative, creative, curious and insightful.
Cushion fever is a mild form of renovation addiction, as it is mainly the sofa that the infected wants to freshen up. The sources of infection are the same as described above. He or she gets an immediate urge to throw away worn and unfashionable cushions and replace them with those that are trendier.
There is not always a great understanding of the nature of this disease from potential partners and spouses, as tables and chairs are easily filled with ongoing projects. Needles, yarn and threads can be scattered around for days – sometimes weeks. Chores such as cleaning and dusting are then ignored.
