CrewelLady's Profile

A customer service phone contact I sometimes access uses oldfashioned typewriter keys sounds while they "check my record." I don't think it is cute. It is really irritating!

The refrigerator is most likely behind one of the doors under the counter, as many are in the UK. I agree with a high table with bar stools for dining, a kitchen area floor to blend with the carpet, and a comfy chair in the window for reading or day dreaming. What a luxury to have a bedroom big enough to build in a bigger closet! My win-the-lottery dream is to have a small flat in London and live there forever. Yes, please post more UK flats and design ideas. Thanks for the tour!

I put together my own bed/storage system in my small bedroom by placing a tall bookshelf on either side of my double bed. I used the wooden shelves that came with for the top halves and added wire shelving to bottom halves to have enough shelf space. I hung short tension rods with small vintage table cloths to cover the wire shelving. I use coordinating labeled boxes on some shelves to hold socks, scarves, smaller items, and have lots of room for books, alarm clock, etc. since I use the shelves as my night stand. Wall mounted swing arm lamp for reading is easy to reach from bed. I use the wall as my headboard. May hang artwork above the bed at some point. You could also do something like hang a valance on a tension rod between the tops of the bookshelves. Not my original idea, but I did improvise a few things for myself. I see a side view from the door as I enter the room; I like it so much I wish I could see it face-on as I enter!
