Nice people thread part 7 - a thread in its prime

My last house (that I owned) had no curtains (lack of funds) and the few lampshades I did have were either left in the house, or I bought for £3

I think I have the most stark house of the NP lot here.

we have oak floorboards or cream/oatmeal carpet with magnolia walls. Curtains are marginally floral but nothing too bright. Cutlery is stainless steel solid and crockery is solid white.

:cool:

I have white tiles in my bathroom. and black sparkly granite in the kitchen.

Sounds lovely.

Well I don't have a house at all yet!

My parents bought a new build in '97 - the walls are still all magnolia. I briefly persuaded them that the hall should be a soft yellow (needed repainting due to scuff marks), but it is once again magnolia.

I decided a while back that my lounge will have magnolia walls and deep red and turquoise accessories. Other than that I think the rooms will have coloured walls.

Not that I have spent too long thinking about this you understand :rotfl:

I rented... no choice.
I have carpet in the living room/bedroom; tiles in the bathroom; strip of lino in the kitchen. Cream walls. Small white curtains in bedroom; one small white bline in kitchen and bathroom; beige curtains in living room.
Cutlery is in the drawer - a set I bought for £2 in about 1979 that are still immaculate + a set I bought in about 1995 for not a lot more.

My belongings/furnishings are more "bleak" than any other description.

No lampshade/whatever as it's wall lights here.

According to the bank's fraud department, you should hide away cash, cheques, passports, driving licences and jewellery.

Probably best in a locked briefcase/holdall lobbed in the back of a cupboard.

I like those.

But I have boring old metal ones which wash really well so not going to swap.

Magnolia? We don't go beyond white here.

We haven't done anything decoratively to main house since you were here. Old part is still mainly bare plaster.
