Well, Mr Fabulous and myself have had several very
interesting “discussions” regard décor in the loungeroom/main living area.
He has a large open plan living area, Kitchen, dining room, lounge room, and a
study area off to one side, there are large picture windows…. And hideous
mucky beige non descript utilitarian
roller blinds at the windows. I am
sure these were found in some throw out bin at a reject shop….. but apparently
his ex paid a considerable amount of money for them, and he spent ages putting
them up. My reply,” well, that’s what
she said, did you see the receipt”, and that “I could have them down in no time
at all”. I feel that since I am not used to living in a fish bowl, we should choose
to go with net curtains and proper fabric curtains that are in a nice material
and would be closed to provide a cosy environment, as we cuddle before the wood
fire on long cold winter evenings keeping the heat in the room.
It is all very well stating that we live in a no through
road, but we do have neighbours and a lot of people seem to walk along this
street as there is pedestrian access at the bottom of the street to another area. I am not used to living in a
fish bowl, where anyone and everyone can
look in, and everything is on display to all and sundry.
I have since seen some lovely roller blinds, with a pattern
fabric, a scalloped edge, decorative ring, and a valance/frill and side
curtains, which I think I could maybe go with at a push rather than these no frill just bung em up
they’ll cover the window variety that has no frills styling, just a plastic
piece across the bottom, and does have a plastic pull chain at the side to open and
close them. (Last time I pulled a chain
it was attached to a cistern which is where I would like to see these blinds
going… if that were at all possible, oopps…
I digress)
I will leave the brown suede look painted feature wall as it
is at the moment, as I can just live with that so long as I get to touch up the
architrave, and white section above the picture rail as it does seem to go well
with my berber couch, but should I happen to trip in the lounge area with a
brush in one hand and a tin of paint in the other I will let you all know.
