These are the before shots of my vile lounge. I hope it's not too long before I can upload the after shots.Everything about the room fills me with horror. The carpet, the light, the disgraceful border below the ceiling, the dado rail, the wallpaper, the curtains... Take it away!
I just can't understand how anyone could walk into a shop, see any of the things in my lounge and say, "Oh, isn't that lovely, we simply must have it!"

those pictures are offensive to good taste. But I'm sure it'll look nice when you've done it up. I mean had it done up.
As a gay man, you know where I'm coming from. I feel like slashing my wrists every time I go in there to watch the telly. I go in there for no other reason. If there was an aerial socket in any other room of the house, I would move the TV.
what colour did you have in mind? I always like a nice brown. The colour brown! It's very chic, but could be reaching it's sell by date now. Are you going for neutral tones?
what happened to the fire? Don't tell me they took it with them?
I think I need you to overhaul my apartment, Minge. I have a serious decorating impediment.
I took the fire out because it made the living room look like a crematorium. It was massive and made similar sounds to a jet taking off. The bloke that disconnected it said it was installed very badly and was actually illegal. If we'd had a carbon monoxide meter in the house, the results could have been "interesting".
The room is north facing and only has a small window, so the colour has to be bright. I've chosen some paper. I call it palm fronds! Well, on one wall, anyway, with a white creased effect paper on the others.
Michele, I'll be over in a couple of hours. We can go to a DIY store, pick paper and light fittings, then go to a deepartment store for carpet, rugs and throws. After that, we'll go clubbing to look for some pretty boys. No apartment is complete without some pretty boys.
I have two things going for me when it comes to decorating. First, the colourblindness. "Sorry dear, you should chose the paint/paper etc" which works very well. Second, well, I am a bit of a blokey-bloke, in that once it's done, it's done. Unless it's a garish colour, then I am not fussed how it looks! hehehe
Of course, Dado Rails are a travesty to mankind and should be removed post-haste. My mum LOVES them though and every room in her house, *every room* has one.
Crazy old cat lady.
Dan, go to your Mum's house in the night and remove all the dado rails. When she wakes up, it'll be too late. Tell her your friend Minge said the 80s was a long time ago.
I'd tell her, except she has the same amount of gold around her neck as another 80s icon - Mr T! hehehe
And I keep telling her to take down the rails, but apparently "they break the wall up nicely."
Or something...
Oh well, at least she's happy. Fancy posting some photographs of your Mum's house on your blog?
