I just had a conversation with someone who came round to my flat for the first time earlier this week (her DS is 2 like mine so thought he would like to come and play in the garden as they don't have one). I mentioned I was having a bit of a clear out this weekend and she said how good it is to get rid of things. Then she went on to say that she was amazed I was happy to live in such brightly coloured clutter when most people try for a more minimal and monochrome look. The only things that are brightly coloured are my DS's toys - my sofa is dark cream, all the other furniture is plain wood and the walls are pale green. I said that I was going to be pleased when I could most of the toys into his bedroom. Then she asked if I had toys in my bedroom for some reason. I said no and that it was my sanctuary. She said she'd had a peep (WTF? door was pulled to) and that it was rather cosy wasn't it?
So was she basically saying I can't believe you live in such a pigsty do you reckon? I feel a bit disinclined to ask her back now.
