to not have oven gloves or tea towels that match the kitchen

[StealthPolarBear]

Well to sone extent they match - old and a bit tatty, like the kitchen.
But it never occurred to me that even when we replace the kitchen we'd get oven gloves and tea towels to match. I've just discovered this is a thing, thanks to mn.

Next you'll be saying that some people coordinate their toilet brushes with their bathrooms. I even match my handwash

Your oven gloves are a disgrace, your tea towels shameful do you redeem yourself by having useless cushions on the bed?

kill him dead

Op you disgusting slatternly slut.

My oven gloves, tea towels and apron match as does my kitchen vase.

Step - me too! And my loo roll!!

I've admitted on another thread to having mismatched towels in the bathroom today

Can someone explain the thought behind having things 'for show' that aren't used? .

oooh the cushions all 4 of em bane of DH life, he really does not get them, or the 'fecking useless little rug draped on the end of the bed'

My teatowels don't match each other, let alone anything else. But I really can't get worked up about that sort of thing tbh, and the talk of show towels etc is a world of mystery that I really can't get my head around

Cushions and the 'fecking useless little rug draped on the end of the bed' are one of several reasons why I don't really like hotels Eccles.

Mismatched Bathroom towels??? You should be ashamed Barbara

Oh right sirchenjin

Step - me too! And my loo roll!! kindred spirit SirChenjin although my purple loo roll to match the walls of the downstairs loo is one for guests and parties only

No cushions on the bed - is that good or bad?
No we do not iron tea towels (or most things really) and in fact tease my dad for ironing tea towels.

Do tea towel ironers also iron dish cloths?

Mrsjayy - no need to be scared, PROVIDING YOUR DISH TOWELS MATCH YOUR KITCHEN

Now this is one of those things that's a class thing, isn't it? Matchy-matchyness, whether it's duvet covers and pillow cases/ cushions and matching 'pops' of colour in the room/ovengloves and tea towels = lower middle class.

This all fat too 80s for my liking all too 'Eternal Beau'. you could have matching tea towels, chopping boards, bins, glasses etc A friend of mine bought the dinner service because she liked the shape of the plates and then was inundated with all the add ons. The crockery went to a charity shop in the end.

Can't believe you're all being so MEAN about my tea towel I'm going to delete this thread

*far

BarbaraofSeville Oh dear, I will withdraw that offer of a free night by the seaside then lol, at least I won't have to put out my purple loo roll

I hate anything matchy, so deliberately rebel against MIL's colour-scehemes and madness. The result is that whenever I've a hangover I want to die after two minutes of being in the kitchen, because the garish shite everywhere makes my delicate eyes hurt.

If I say my tea towels match my kitchen would that make you feel better?

I bought these rubber oven gloves the other day as I kept burning myself with the tea towel. It didn't even cross my mind that I should have them matching the kitchen as long as it does the job.

I must admit I do have a blanket on the end of my bed and the spare bedroom but to be honest it spends more time in the living room wrapped around me than it does on the bed!

I have an assortment of different coloured bath towels too.

Not a class thing Digestive lower middle class indeed - it's an aesthetic thing. Colours and patterns that jar against each other really grate to the point of severe irritation.

We're having pasta tonight and this is the plate on which I will be serving parmesan cheese
