Ironically, I think I would take what you might call clutter: my instruments, books,CDs, vinyl, an old bookcase that I inherited from a friend, DVD's, and, if room, stereo, CD player, DVD player (but not TV - it could stay!). Also a hat that I made yonks ago and an automatum thing that was made for me (it's small enough).Oh, and a change of clothes. And possibly my gardening tools, a sleeping bag and a couple of cushions.

Ooh, they should dedicate a slot in the colour cure to this place, it's gorgeous! I think that Kamini has definitely succeeded in achieving the balance she was after, it is spacious but not sparse on interest. The paintings are really interesting; the 'three women' remind me a bit of Shanti Panchal's pictures and I love the painting with the steps - very clever! ;) Kamini's Hyderabad Home House Call |

....I think I need to go film shopping! Off the top of my head, what about those wonderfully bleak interiors in "You, the Living", or just about any of the sets, but most of all the great hall interior in "The Banquet"?.

Eons ago, I stayed at friend's flat and we woke to discover that his lunatic neighbour had attempted to start a fire next to the external stairwell. Fortunately my friend noticed it when he went into the kitchen, called the emergency services and then called me, instructing me to grab his cat. So, on that occasion, I fled the building, wearing a full-length vintage 1930's nightie, clutching a somewhat disgruntled moggie. Inevitably, the cat attempted to wriggle free but in those days I used to back-comb my long hair, so the poor thing got no further than my shoulder! What Would You Save If Your House Was On Fire?

I found so many fragments of broken crockery and old plant pots on my allotment that I decided to collect them up as I worked the soil and then used them to create paths between rows. They're a bit time consuming because I have had to 'move' them from time to time. They can also be bit of a haven for ravenous baby slugs but they give my little plot some character, I think, and because they've been lying around for so long, all the edges are smooth!

I think there could be room for bigkoiguy's shelving idea, with leisurelyviking's Bamboo-on-wheels infront to mask the shelves... or else, go with potpie's giraffe suggestion which could also double as a means of escape in an emergency... as long as the damn thing doesn't bolt off before you can slide down its neck, of course.

I can't say that I'm that impressed with any of them...disappointed, if anything. At least none of the others look as 'busy' as the first one (ridiculously large hoard of crockery... exactly HOW many do they expect to turn up for dinner?) and yeah, HouseOnClintonAve, I'm also wondering about the dust...

Repositioning the bed between the windows would definitely be an improvement but as I don't live in a home with a need for air-conditioning (Ol' Blighty, bah!), I'm wondering, how noisy would it be for the person who would be sleeping nearest to that AC unit, and also, how draughty would it be?
