to think that those of you of have abundant cushions on your bed are just as bad as the loons who have teddy bears on theirs?

[GetOrfMoiLand]

A friend (rather DP's workmate's girflfriend) just moved into a new house. She is a lovely girl, went round their house with some lilys to nose have a look.

She has about 6 great big cushions on her bed all nicely arranged. And one of those strips of material like a scarf at the bottom.

I made all the right noises but then said 'what do you do when you go to bed, do you just throw 'em on the floor?'

She looked at me as if I was old man Steptoe and said 'no we put them in the ottoman'. And by the window is a blanket box in which she puts the cushions at night, and then puts them back on the bed in the morning.

That's MAD isn't it?

Mind you, she is only 24. Surely a bit of real life will knock that madness out of her.

Oh dear. I've just read this whole thread now and I realise I am failing on several levels. I'll just remove the bottom photo on my profile.

I only just put them on last night, as well( after a request to do so. Who knew the public humiliation/backlash would come so soon?

Thank god there are none of my bedroom on there.

I've added more now (because of another thread asking me to, not because I enjoy giving House of Bamboo something to laugh at) and just to throw you all off the scent of the offending photo, but there may have been a HOME sign somewhere.

I have Cunnilingus spelt above my bed. The fact that I can afford so many letters is evidence that I am considerably richer than any of you.

I have 4 cushions on my bed but no strip thing at the bottom, however my sheets are designed to look like they have one of those strips. I think it is lovely and adds to the decor of the room

durga Well, I would have spelt something longer and more impressive, (a poncey passage of poetry perhaps) but my letters are HUGE and made of very heavy rusty verdigis iron, and I had to lug them back in my suitcase from a trip to Stockholm. I could afford the excess baggage on longer words!

LeQueen no it's actually Blue-Gray (although it comes out more of a soft green/blue than either blue or grey!) it's a really beautiful colour but it looks lighter in the those photos than RL.

But if your one-off cupboards is to contrast the Sugar Bag would be lovely.

LeQueen, can I come for a sleepover at your house? Your bedroom sounds lovely.

My bedroom is vile.

I currently have 100+ odd socks on the floor next to my bed, plus piles of old magazines.

My bed base is attached to the frame with masking tape and one of the wheels is missing of the bed leg so the whole thing tilts slightly to one side.

I got into bed last night to read and realised that my book had a dried tea bag stuck to the cover.

So squalid.

my bedroom is a shit tip

and I am serious

its the last room in the house that to tackle

we haven;t tackled it yet

I have a large cuddly snail that I cuddle in bed till gecko joins me

Lequeen now that is more like it!

I secretly judge people who:

• Have loads of cushions and a jaunty throw on their bed
• Have Ikea art or those weird letter arrangements things that spell 'HOME' or 'LOVE'
• Have massive blown up Venture photography-esque photos of their family smiling like goons all over their walls
• don't have books (usually have mahoosive flat screen telly, though)
• have carpets that look like they are hoovered and possibly Shake N Vac'd daily
• have a lot of suspiciously '60 Minute Makeover' inspired 'looks' in their home, like twigs in a vase or pieces of material nailed above their bed or canvas pictures. NO.

Maybe it's jealousy . It's definitely snobbery. And it's wrong. I know this.

It's almost reverse snobbery, actually, as I like people who are messy, with lived in houses and slept-in looking duvets and stuff about the gaff.

PMSL at MrQueens, "vulgar, digital clock"!
Dare I ask LeQueen, does your granny's china clock have an Alarm or Snooze function?

Like QS I really would love a bedroom with extra cushions and a throw at the end, somethng that looks snug and cosy. Of course, I don't have the time or money to manage it...

My mum had one of those Keep Calm and Carry On posters framed (was a gift) in her kitchen. Last time I was there it fell off the wall.

On the kids' bedroom stuff; we got dd a princess style bed from next, all white painted wood with pink tunnel thing, wee fake material tower, she really wanted it.

However she now prefers to sleep on a mattress on the floor! (This was left after my mum kipped there).

LeQueen - I would love your house, I want a haven, not a jumble of clothes, mismatched furniture and an old wardrobe without a door (door is beside it as dh cannot find special screws to put it back on).

I would just like to say that there is a pic of dd on my profile that was not taken in my house, but in a local cafe (in case anyone thinks I have a penchant for whimsical wall slogans)!
I do want an ottoman, however.

I bloody knew Le Queen would come on this thread and bang on about lavender.

LeQ, you are a ponce (tell you something you don't know).

And you and fellation going on about F&B paint. next you will be telling me you are on first name terms witj Johnny fucking Boden.

Get Orf Ma Fred

LeQueen - your room sounds great! Even the lavender! I don't have a problem with ornaments - as long I don't have to shift them every time I want to use something.

And I don't even have a problem with ottomans - just think it's odd to have one which only contains the ornaments that you've had to shuffle from place to place just so you can get into bed.

Fellatio - your house looks scarily like mine in terms of decor But nicer Does this mean I am on some sort of slippery 3D word slope??

A friend of mine really is on first name terms with Johnnie B.

I have poncey cushions and a throw thing on my bed. This is counteracted by the overflowing laundry basket, bits of used cotton wool and various Pret sugar sachets.

I reckon the 'highlight OP' shading is F&B inspired, what do you reckon?

Ah Lizzie - now what you need to do is ditch those poncey cushions and replace them with... a nice big bin!
