Proof!

[hellison]

As requested, photographic evidence of clear bedroom floor. Hideously carpetted clear bedroom floor. Some day I really will have to work out how to get the furntiture out of the bedroom so I can get a less offensive carpet in there!




Obviously I didn't quite get round to putting away all the books I salvaged from the floor. Yet. The flower throw thing is there to keep wet muddy cats off the nice clean bed. Sometimes it even works.

For comparison (tho this was taken a while ago) and to clarify why this is such an achievement, it usually looks more like this !







I even did the bit down the side of the bed. That carpet really is hideous tho. And paintstained too. Some day I shall get rid. Some day...

And, just for lazy_hoor teh secret bedroom!



Complete with cat! Authors like cats, right?

Also books! they like books (cunning angled to avoid most of the huge pile of junk in the corner ;p)



And finally, one last patio shot, now with newly-contructed table, chair, somewhat weeded bed, and rain. More bloody rain.






I am feeling quite accomplished now! So shall finish watching P&P while eating crisp sandwiches ;)

Really?
Oh, er, I meant to say "Yes, of course, I meant that".


What I've never understood is who looked at that in a shop and thought 'ooh, lovely, we'll take that one!'.
Surely the question to ask is when was that carpet set down?
I'd put money on the late 80's to early 90's.

heh. It could work! You never know ;p

I have a feeling it was there before the people i got the place from moved in because it goes with nothing else, which would place it in late 80 or so.
Tho I'm not sure there is any form of decor it *would* go with.

I reckon some singular colour, perhaps light grey with a trim, something minimal.

[hellison.livejournal.com]

Maybe. It certainly doesn't go with turquoise walls. Must also paint room (tho, I've been saying that for 8 years now ;p)

[failing-angel.livejournal.com]

Mmmmm, classy.

What you can't see in the photo and *really* makes it, is the bright yellow border that goes around the tops of the walls. Really brings it all together...

Sure to shock one into sentience in the morning

I had a bedroom that was turquoise and yellow too once. The walls were turquoise, the woodwork yellow, the duvet cover and curtains were yellow, and the pillows were turquoise. I was about 14 and wasn't allowed to paint it black.

Lovely combination isn't it? I actually looked at the border this morning for the first time in ... years probably and not only is it bright yellow, it has a green pattern on it. So tasteful.
