Gracii Guns Posted October 15, 2016 Share Posted October 15, 2016 Ten years ago Anything Goes was in the midst of its Sex Thread Era. Topics discussed were polls on circumcision, weird sex and preferences of pubic hair. I figured that this forum has a somewhat more ahem, mature audience now. So we can discuss home decor legitimately. Share your favourite ideas, furniture and anything you might be aspiring to have. --------------------------------- I'm hopefully moving into my first proper house (as opposed to pokey flats) by the end of this year, so I'm looking for furniture and bits and pieces which we'll need. My first port of call will be secondhand furniture stores locally. I've ordered a handmade coffee table made from recycled wood using some birthday money- which is going to be the big treat. Here's some other stuff I'm after (no, this isn't a GoFundMe attempt). Ikea Knotten Standing Laptop Desk http://www.ikea.com/gb/en/products/desks/desk-computer-desks/knotten-standing-desk-white-birch-art-30299485/ The new house will have an induction hob, rendering all our pans apart from our Le Creuset casserole dish useless. If anyone has any advice for induction hobs, it would be welcome. So we're looking at getting this pan set. http://www.ikea.com/gb/en/products/cookware/pots-pans/snitsig-7-piece-cookware-set-stainless-steel-art-60139363/ And finally… we won't be purchasing this, but thought I'd include it here for a laugh, the ANGUS YOUNG RUG! https://www.amazon.co.uk/AC-DC-Angus-Young-Round/dp/B00PY3SM12/ref=sr_1_498?s=kitchen&ie=UTF8&qid=1476476257&sr=1-498&keywords=rug I can't decide what colour scheme to use for bathroom accessories. The bathroom suite is white, with beigey tiles. I don't want blue, as my current bathroom has a blue scheme. White is nice, but boring too. Perhaps copper or turquoise? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
janrichmond Posted October 15, 2016 Share Posted October 15, 2016 (edited) i have an induction hob @Gracii Guns, they are really good but you can still use your original pans as well if you buy an ' induction hob converter' i have one i got on eBay for under £20. I did buy new pans but i still love my old ones so i use the converter as well Edited October 15, 2016 by janrichmond blonde moment 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snake-Pit Posted October 15, 2016 Share Posted October 15, 2016 (edited) I got a 55'' JVC hanging on the wall, gym mat on the floor, bed, framed Van Gogh print on another wall with flags of places I've been outside of England (USA/Amsterdam, NL) draws, guitars, amps, Tiffany Lamp, guitar stands (1 single guitar stand and another that can holds 10 guitars)... 3 amps, shoe boxes and clothes everywhere, ornate glass cantinas etc...

Orsys Posted October 15, 2016 Share Posted October 15, 2016 (edited) This is my living room... and my little studio... In my living room, I love my coffee table, shuffleboard and wall unit that we have named "the boxes" because my brother made them for me. I want a darker coloured sectional, and a bigger studio. Other than books, I don't like a lot of "stuff" around so tend to keep it a bit minimalist. And before you ask, it's a money tree. My dining room has to act as a few different rooms. Right now it has a large air mattress because my Dutch relatives just left. So back to my glass dining table and yoga mat on the floor.

I did buy new pans but i still love my old ones so i use the converter as well Thank you, had no idea about induction hob converters. That will be useful, as like you, I quite like my pans (familiarity, I suppose) and don't like the idea of not using pans which would otherwise be fine. @Orsys Thank you for sharing those photos. I espcially like your studio. It's not easy to turn a personal nor commercial room into creative space. That shelving in your living room is very elegantly organised, too! I shot this photo on Thursday morning after a wild Wednesday night having tea and cake with friends. I realised that I was getting too "disposable" about photos, and wanted one so we could look back of where we once lived. It's actually a pretty telling photo, as it has my prized Cath Kidston plates and teapot, a tea cosy knitted by my sister-in-law, a tea tray which I love and the coffee table, which was a wedding gift to my parents in 1988 (there is a Madness video with basically the same one!). The Yorkshire coasters are by Moorland Pottery. http://www.moorlandpottery.co.uk/moorland-pottery-ranges/yorkie-ware-mugs/ I didn't realise that I loved my tea time accessories so much until I wrote this post! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fitha_whiskey Posted October 15, 2016 Share Posted October 15, 2016 I have no fuckin clue what an induction hob converter is. Is it like a Love Removal Machine? What I do know, is that Angus rug (that's really a rug?) instantly turns any house into a place I'd wanna hang out. That's awesome. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gracii Guns Posted October 17, 2016 Author Share Posted October 17, 2016 Judging by the low uptake of posters on this thread, evidently more people on this forum are homeless than I thought. Asked my brother for these place mats for Christmas. I am officially boring. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gracii Guns Posted October 17, 2016 Author Share Posted October 17, 2016 @AxlsFavoriteRose Haha, love the decadent look! Jewel tones. If youre a bit craftsy this is the look you can achieve with old frames and other retro finds in charity shops, with gold leaf etc.There will be plenty of youtube videos guiding you through this sort of thing. You probably already know this, but if you're looking at purples (being a peacock room) purples are almost impossible to match. They go from lilacs to deep red purples, and you can get warm and cool shades, so proceed with caution. Do post pictures when you're done! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AxlsFavoriteRose Posted October 17, 2016 Share Posted October 17, 2016 yeah i have seen those HBO shows. btw it's really sad but funny how the owner Dennis Hof thinks he's some kind of upstanding member of this community, he is always putting himself on TV as much as possible preaching on things he has no business about IMO! back on topic. i do have a LOT of gilt and even a crystal chandelier in my dining room which is adjacent to my peacock room so maybe the two chairs AND the couch are a bit much. but also if you saw the stuff i have ( the peacock stuff ) i am so tempted to just go full out. but at this point my budget is not going to allow me to buy it anyway so i have time to think about it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Len Cnut Posted October 17, 2016 Share Posted October 17, 2016 Flock wallpaper, nice leather ox blood chesterfield sofas, thick pile carpet, perhaps a nice 80/20 wool jobbie, some nice Queen Anne chairs, massive fuck off solid oak desk, sash windows, granite worktops, Neff appliances (cant go wrong with kraut gear in the kitchen)...hmmm, what else? A general attention to like, antiquity, some ornate coving, ceiling roses, some chandeliers but smaller ones, minimal, a lot of brass triming like stair bars, doorhandles etc. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
