Another demanding pics from Tethers.

Please don't be making it up. Please?

Go to Laura Ashley and look at their shrines of beauty. They love wallpaper and clashing prints in there. And I love Laura Ashley. Feature wall maybe clashing with other patterns still ok?

No accent walls.

Agree that big flowery wall is very Next catalogue.

And I am getting fed up of duck egg blue. Even though I LOVED it.

at a bit next catalogue OTheHuge

And hooray, pleased to see licorice allsorts are allowed!

ThePantham, no offense, I grew up in the 70s , I am scarred

No there is no excuse for liquorice.

Sorry to hear that accent walls are over as I have one in my dining room - come on, why did no-one send me a MEMO!!!

We're renting and all the walls are white. Just white. With our own rugs over bare floorboards.

Sooo ... any ideas about how we should decorate our new house? 1930s semi-detached. Quite smart but far too much mushroom colour paint for my liking.

Well, now you are just confusing me re paint/wall paper. D'ya think this is not the right thread for living room decor advice, then??

Tethers

Pics or I don't believe you.

EvenLess Oh thank goodness, feel so much less like sociopath someone unable to enagage in meaningful drama.

Hard stare at Pacific .

Liquorice Allsorts are a crossover confectionery product. They are allowed in the main shop.

Ah, thanks, stripeybump, I will feed that back to DH.

Custardo, I don't disagree with a word you said, but what is your living room like ?

I love liquorice.

Accent walls are ok IMO if they're a different shade in the same palette. Contrasting colours or - heaven forbid - wallpaper are just a bit Next catalogue.

I don't always know which posters are men, I don't much care, either, as most of the men I've come across on here are good blokes and their perspectives are more than welcome (cestlavie take a bow). If you are an arsehole then you will run into trouble, whatever the configuration of your genitalia.

We always got our friend licorice rizzla papers if she was cheeky enough to ask us for some normal ones and then wait to see her face when she'd run out and had to use them.

Saying that I quite like licorice allsorts.

yellow walls, pine flooring poorly sanded and varnished by me, heavy multicoloured (mainly orange) striped curtains, random pics, dark red art deco ceramic fireplace, olive green sofa gradually being destroyed by application of two year old....

My living room has black walls, sisal carpet, orange leather 70s suite, g plan sideboard, 70s lamps and a huge oil painting of Quincy on the wall.

I do like 70s.

I am anti-accent walls, I am afraid. I think their time has come and gone.

When I go into a room with an accent wall, I am reminded of the final days of the split wallpaper walls with the border in the middle.

MmeLindor, much as Lindor is the pinnacle of cenfectionary, I feel that liquorice does have its place

Accent walls are a NO but nice wallpaper on one wall could be good as long as not damask or oversized flowers.

Why was tethersend talking about smashing cisterns?

Anyway my living room has cream walls and cream sofas - soon to be replaced by brown sofas - wow, I know how to live!!!!!

i know who you are and i wanted to like you. i wanted to see your pov. But it soonbecame apparent that you post in vehemently anti women way as a small minority of women post about men. neithere of you will consider other points of view and both sets of people are rigidly vehemently militant in their beliefs. fundemental even. so blinkered, so dead set, so unwilling to listen it is quite scary actually.

You can't set up another site which names posters and slag them off and not expect repercussions. to do this whilst single mindely posting in one topic area, rather than interact in any other way..shooting the breeze...

I do try and pride myself in being even handed. If there is one poster on mumsnet who doesn't follow a crowd its me. i don't have a gang or cronies and i don't kiss arse.

if i thought mumsnet were acting in a weird and underhand fashion, just picking on you i would say so.

i decided to 'unlike' your page and i don't read it anymore. I find it difficult to understand this kind of obsessive behavior. I don't think this kind of obsession is something that falls within the remit of healthy or normal. Therefore i personally find it alarming.

Men do come on mumsnet, men shouldn't have to find their own site (as someone has said on this thread) Men should be made welcome and should post where they like. And d'ya know what? they do.

I do like the thrill of a mini revolution, i like a bit of upsetting of the applecart, i like to question norms...especially on mumsnet where things get cliquey..fast! You severely dissapointed, there has to be some background that we are unaware of becuase you are single minded, with a single cause and you spend a lot of your time doing it. That alarms me becuase i don't understnd why

Mine is Laura Ashley cranberry Lori curtains over dark wood venetians, cream carpets and sofa with cranberry and brown cushions, battered brown leather chair in corner, Moroccan mirror and pouffe

Pale blue and dark wood sounds gorgeous.

I'm with MmeLindor. Can't stand liquorice.
