Your room is masculine, warm, cosy and interesting. I love it. I love the grey and orange and the crumpled fur throw is a winning accessory. Gorgeous!

'and the tv, like a god, as the focal point of the living room'

The above quote made me laugh. I've said the same thing dozens of times.


Ew, I Can't Stand That! Design Allergies

I am not a fan of wallpaper borders, placed half way up a wall to create a faux dado rail.
And I don't particularly like UPVC windows from the 90s. Lots of them were very ugly in my opinion.

Oh, and if possible, tak your bed apart – because they live in the teeniest of places. There were colonies of them inside the legs of my bed.

Get your entire house sprayed, inbetween floorboards, cracks in walls – everything. Throw out any rugs you don't want to keep. Don't move to another room to sleep, because they'll follow you and then infest that room as well. Don't go to other people's homes to sleep because the infestation will more than likely spread there too.
It cost me about £2,000, 9 years ago now. Two months of the home being sprayed once a week, every week.
mine came from a (5star!) hotel in Bruges by the way.

Thanks though. x

I think it all looks pretty groovy. Hate the room divider though.
I, too, LOVE the large green vase and I'd like to know where it's from. I live in london too.

Surely declawing isn't done anymore?
I'm gobsmacked!
Cats will have a go at your furniture, but it doesn't take much to get them to stop.
A good scratching post and encouragement to use it, and a sharp and loud, 'No!' whenever they try to scratch upholstery.
Cats scratch to spread their scent, that's all. it's perfectly natural, and necessary for them, so they need somewhere to do it is all.
I feel a bit sick if it's true that vets still declaw cats. It's disgusting!

No, soda crystals. You can get it in powder and liquid form. Sodium carbonate.

For a glass-topped stove, hot soapy water (washing-up liquid soap) should clean it up nicely.

Tea-stained mugs – all you need is a tablespoon of soda crystals dissolved in hot water, and leave for a few hours.
Also, soda crystals and vinegar solution is superb for dealing with limescale.
If you get it around the base of your taps, soak kitchen towel in the solution, wrap it around the tap base and leave overnight. Give it a light scrub the next day and it'll be limescale-free.
Awesome.
