I mean, come on... you spend absolutely ages stripping off 15 years worth from wallpaper and paint of the walls and woodwork, repaint all the cruddy holes covered over by the layers and layers... sand it all smooth, prime it, paint it and get it looking all neat a tidy.
You move the furniture back in and get everything neat and tidy in its place, CDs alphabetized, DVDs ordered in series runs from season 1 through to wherever, speakers all set up for the best possible surround sound given the room and practicality of use and everything just right.
Skip forward six months and you can't see the walls for pictures, the bookcase has more figurines, candles and vases than a gift shop and every other horizontal surface has a flower pot with something green growing in it.
I can't even draw the curtains without moving six plants as apparently "brushing the curtains past them is bad as they don't like being touched!"
Well blow me, I thought this was the lounge, not the indoor version of the Chelsea Flower Show mixed with Trinkets 'r' Us....
Gah!![]()

I'm not one for ornaments personally, all my bookshelves have books on them, all my walls are completely clear apart from a mirror and 1 pretty card i was sent for my birthday that's above my dressing table. Admittedly i have a few photoframes with pics of my friends from school & uni, but not many. I have a string of fluff along one of the shelves on my desk too.................and my room is pink..............
