    My goodness, that is fabulous.
    Orange is not a colour I would choose, but only because my hair would match!

    It is beautiful! But I'd never be able to reach the salt and pepper pots! Or change the radio station...

    Where's the cake? Did you scoff it already?

    Definitely amazing. I wondered how an orange ceiling would work - but as an 'accent' it totally rocks. Very, very inventive MWC - bravo! :T

    I've just checked my pension pots - currently at just over £150,000 which I didn't think was too bad until I looked at the MAS's pension calculator :(
