You need to explain this to your membership.

there is a poster called manicgeek ?

news to me...

Oh dear, manic geek, I hadn't noticed you at all

Accent walls are over now. Rosie Millard said so in the Sunday Times. Or was it the Sat Telegraph. Anyway, wallpaper is IN and you have to do the whole room in it the same one.

SGM - I think all sofabeds are uncomfy as sofas. Unless you spend the equivalent of building a new bedroom extension on one.

Cat fur? Gross.

I would have to murder my DH if he redecorated and made an accent wall as a surprise.

I would do it in the abbatoir-chic kitchen, cause it has floor to ceiling tiles.

I hate you bastards.

(Except the men posters, who are fab... the ones I know about and don't refer to as 'she' anyhow).

I swear, I've bought bloody Homes and Gardens more times since I joined MN than is right. I'm in a rented place and at least, thank god, it has white walls but i am itching to get out a paintpot.

For the record, we have poo-brown carpets and slightly organgy-poo brown lino by the sink, white walls, biiiiig metal-frame Moroccan mirror (that I love) over the sofa, sofa is cream but a freebie because we mended it, and we have several thousand books currently exploding all over the walls. I want to paint it something pale green or pale slatey-blue. I OD'd on duck egg way before anyone else because my granny loved it in the 90s.

floorboards waiting to be sanded, currently witha million nails that hurt your feet should you forget to wear flip flops indoors.

petty much sums it up

oh, we've all done that soymama. but yes. tis true.

anyhoo.

my living room is crammed wall to wall with crap. it's too small for five of us and two big dogs, but somehow we forgot to downsize the stuff when we downsized the houses various.

and all the stuff is covered in a thick layer of dog hair. it's a dream. no, really.

i'm about to enter a purge phase, though. presumably rather like mn as they strategically remove unwanted dross from the website. i have no intention of being gender-specific in my purge - similarly, i doubt mn care whether the op has got danglies or not. so gender discrimination is definitely barking up the wrong alley. hth.

Nannynick is a man? I love all his posts! I may have referred to him as a woman in the past

TiggyD is ace too. For a BOY

Spogs rule all though.

My sitting room is evil, white paint over crappy blown vinyl (can see was once the evil half n half), dildo rail, built in (huhuey) units, red carpet, spiders webs galore, second hand Argo plether sofas but at least its huuuuge. There'salways something to snack on trodden into the carpet too.

Liquorice is vile but if there are some allsorts left lying around I may, on occasion, have given in to it's limited charms.

Mine is Laura Ashley green with welsh slate floors, a huge wood burner and dark green ikea sofas. And a dog who won't let you sit on the sofa as it is clearly his.

Onemorechap. :-)

Just in case he needs somewhere a little more padded when he comes back, reads all the posts, writes something predictable and gets kicked off again, there's always this. Should be nice and safe.

I like men posting here, you get a diferent POV which adds variety.

I hope that's the case :-)

To say that male posters are singled out and shouted down is doown right insulting. But I dare say that that was the aim of your post in the first place?

FWIW I think the OP is a prune... but depending upon where you post, I've certainly felt shouted down, put upon insulted, lied about by some posters.

Hastily adding, by a minority, and I have received PMs and support to carry on posting - so I shall.

And no, MNHQ don't seem to discriminate against men.

It was fun, ladies, I bid you good night.

if he's painted his room with farrow & ball it has to be hamsters breath

I think the OP's living room is probably Laura Ashley as well - but infrequently visited by the OP, whose mum prefers to keep it nice for guests so encourages the OP to play on the computer in the games room.

Best. South. Park. Ever

Apart from the hippie one.

I'm seeing, RED LIQOURICE feature wall with genuine cat hair covered accessories. I also feel that I need to make something out of mdf .... MN logo feature wall!

@ MmeLindor. Spot on with Farrow and Ball. Brilliant.

Right i'm orf to stalk Tethers for those pictures and make her an offer on the Quincy portrait.

And someone's even designed the new furniture for him too!

So red liquorice isn't.

That explains why I like it.

Whoever decorated our house did it using a design magazine written in the 90s. We're slowly de-floraling it.
