That's what my house looked like when I first moved in. I think that's part of the reason why I find this thread so addictive. In fact, when I first moved in, I could stand on the orange landing carpet, which depending on which way I looked butted up to the maroon swirly carpet (bedroom), the Barbie pink carpet of the second bedroom, the navy blue carpet and red skirting boards of the Arsenal bedroom, or the dusky pink carpet in the bathroom :eek:.

Initial entry found.It is a good idea to be alone in a garden at dawn or dark so that all its shy presences may haunt you and possess you in a reverie of suspended thought.
