brandy-I'm afraid you need help

Er. Where do you keep spices in a small kitchen then?

la chambre des epices?

hahahahahah you're ona roll

in a drawer

yes www i have spicy drawers

your H is in for a treat to night

I renamed the "shoe cupboard" the "boot room" last weekend. I decided I was of an age where I should have a boot room. And to be fair we have boots and coats in the shoe cupboard. <<delusions of grandeur>>

<<realises is absolutely the biggest loser and leaves thread>>

LOL I know... I do have a lot of books in piles everywhere to even it out.

i hear occasional bleats of "girlpower" muffled by the padded walls

lol
i know, 20 years and they still keep acoming

no
as it would be naff and social death
worse than artex or banging on about farrow and ball

Lego room - brilliant.

We have a 'playroom', unfortunately we seem to have lost the lounge . . .

I need to go and make myself beautiful now
off to my ensuite or powder room

The dog splashes my skirtings...does that match rug spraying?

I did wonder what happened to playroims as children grew, but from my extensive reading of 25 Beautiful Homes (), it seems it becomes a family room. Like a "sitting room" but with cheaper sofas and a "fun" rug...

I have two rooms with feature walls. !

I'm even thinking of adding another in the kitchen and updating my painted feature walls to papered ones, so what's the chew with that OP? Never realised it was MN no no.

I do not have a spice rack or a play room but wish I had both actually. Instead I have a wonkyly stacked cupboard and ds has a tv in bedroom I'm such a bad parent aren't I. DD has a nursery too.

I have naice ham and got rid of my twigs.

I have a spice rack (but, it hangs on the inside of a cupboard door and our kitchen is ridiculously small) - I only have 3 drawers, can't dedicate one to spices....

Guilty of feature walls. I like bright colours/bold patterns but my house doesn't have huge rooms so painting my entire lounge bright red would be hideous. So I have a red wall in the lounge, and one with stripey wallpaper in our bedroom. I like it [shrugs]

Poche same here

lego room is in the cellar
it's no good for anything else, but plastic doesn't go mouldy. Have to limit time ds spends down there, or he might.

Slight tangent but currently getting quotes for something to replace vile upvc conservatory - seems we now have to call them 'orangeries' I mean seriously - I just can not refer to it as that. I will be mocked cruelly by friends if I tell them to take their drinks through to the orangery - my house is 1950's not Downton.

Oh that's hilaaaaassrious!

Mrs - orangeries a v naice.

No feature wall, no playroom. I keep my spices in the back of my cupboard in the shared kitchen.

So, to conclude, i win at this thread but lose at life.

I'll take that

Yes, yes and yes.

The playroom is downstairs - it's a room full of toys, plastic tat in boxes, books etc where the boys hang out. What else should we call it? (everyone else locally calls them "rumpus rooms" but I'm not quite that native yet).

Feature walls - only in the boys' bedrooms.

Spice rack - in the pantry.

Twigs & pebbles - yes, but that's because the driveway isn't sealed yet. Hoping to stop tracking those in when it is.

Love my house

We have a nursery AND a playroom.

No spicerack or feature wall.
