how many home decorating programs do you think these people have watched (and how few gardening!) ?

twinset, your house looks lovely and NOTHING like that garish monstrosity on the first link.

squeaver · 17/11/2008 18:09

Twinset - the difference between your house and this monstrosity can be summed up in one word - restraint.

twinsetandpearls · 17/11/2008 18:09

goblinvalley I think in every room there is something nice but it is all too much.

blametheparents · 17/11/2008 18:09

Well said, bellcantwait, the bedrooms do look lovely (must be that lovely blue Laura Ashley wallpaper that I have too!)

squeaver · 17/11/2008 18:09

Yes your huffiness level wasn't quite right, cuddlytoy

Countingthegreyhairs · 17/11/2008 18:10

yours is luverly Twinset - I like the green in the bedroom - and I'm envious of your kitchen

Someone obviously read that wallpaper was 'on trend' this year.

Am more about the price though.

Am I right in thinking that is the part of Swansea on the way out to the Gower. Lovely, but still.

'excellent decorative order'

twinsetandpearls · 17/11/2008 18:13

I have wondered about my house, there have been some changes since the ohotos were taken, so new carpets.

The bedroom is a bit sixty second makeoverish as we one green wall which did have a big purple print on it, not in the picture, and there is paisley bedding with a purple and pink silk thrown and paisley, purple and green cushions plus chandelier.

We have the red heat paper on one wall in the living room

thenewme · 17/11/2008 18:15

Oh my!

twinsetandpearls · 17/11/2008 18:15

countingthegreyhairs if you want to buy it we are open to offers

The kitchen was awful when we took it over, blue and yellow check paper, it is natural hessian on the wall

tomme · 17/11/2008 18:19

Yes this is out towards the gower but not that nice.

Twinset yours is nothing like it, much more understated and NICE.

at the Swansea black and white monster.

TSAP I'm loving the green and purple bedroom in yours. Sounds horrendous but looks gorgeous.

twinsetandpearls · 17/11/2008 18:21

tomme something must be wrong as no one has viewed it and it has been on the market since June.

twinsetandpearls · 17/11/2008 18:22

dd calls it the snot wall.

We have the same bed and bedding in a new house against cream walls and it s a bit wishy woshy.

WingsofaAngel · 17/11/2008 18:24

twinset I love the print on the wall in the dinning area.

Can I ask where is the sixth chair is ?

I love the girls room too very organised.

I hope you get a buyer soon.

Countingthegreyhairs · 17/11/2008 18:25

gladly Twinset if I wasn't tied to the land of beer and chocolate ...

I have two tiny drawers in my kitchen, a hole in the floor and am currently cooking by candlelight!

Good luck with your sale. I'm sure it's the recession and not your decorating skills that are making buyers hesitate!

twinsetandpearls · 17/11/2008 18:26

wingsofanangel the sixth chair is at the computer desk you can just see the legs.

twinsetandpearls · 17/11/2008 18:28

DD bedroom also had a feature wall ( I told you 60 second makeover) it had one deep maroon wall with some prints of pink orchids.

twinsetandpearls · 17/11/2008 18:29

Sadly my tenant that did a bunk has half repainted dd old bedroom so we need to do it again.

SoupDragon · 17/11/2008 18:30

I would say the sellers of that first house have watched no home decorating programmes whatsoever.

lljkk · 17/11/2008 18:43

DH & I like it, we like the big garden best of all mind.

geordieminx · 17/11/2008 19:03
