This blog is...

For my English-speaking friends, in the USA, or elsewhere in the world. I promised, as I was moving back home, to start a blog in English... it took me time, but now I'm doing it, and I'll try to keep up with it as much as I can!

The brown room



I dedicate this post to my friend Debbie, who visited us around Christmas, and christened the most tasteless room of the house "the brown room".
It IS ugly, but somehow, I've started to kind of like it anyway. When I prepared the move back into this house, I looked for something to make it funny, and I found a great shower curtain at Linen&Things, just before it actually closed down. I cut it and hung it on a... shower rod.
Then, it's become a challenge to find matching colors for that room: spring green and brown mainly.
Today, I found these stickers and could decorate the room (and its door!), to make it a bit more "lively".

Now I still face a possible problem: the toilet seat has a split, and it will definitely break in parts some time. The fact is that 25 years ago, this bathroom was very design and fashionable. The walls are made of marble, the sink matches the toilet: brown (can be convenient sometimes ;-)!). The problem is that the toilet has a special shape, and the seats are not available anymore (the usual seats don't fit!). Or just in white.... and they cost over $200 (plus tax, of course!).
So now, I face the fact that I'll have to remodel that brown room...
Fortunately, I don't have the money for it now!
