If your home has a 'theme', what is it? |
|
Ours would probably be called 'Nature's Nutball Preserve.' Not just because of all the animals, but the decor has a lot of art (indoor and outdoor) with crazy-looking animals in very odd places.
What's yours?

something along the lines of

How about "hire a housekeeper, already" :)

Watch Where You Step, then.
Between the Legos, the Star Wars action figures, the Matchbox cars, and the errant hinky/nasty natural...er..."products" of a neurotic feline, it's never a wise idea to navigate the living room without turning on a light first.
On edit: No, I don't keep a filthy house--neurotic feline products are scrubbed as soon as they're detected. :P

16. My apartment is part of a big house... |
|
and it used to be three big bedrooms,now it has a living room with a kitchenette. The conversion was done in the 70's and the apartment looks like it's from the 60's..including the furniture.
It's a cute apartment,it's also VERY close to my Grandparents so I can keep a closer eye on them.
My theme is a 60's theme.

Insanity and Infantilism.
An actual "house rule" for my "sober living" home, officially from the office, has been up for months and months:
"Residents must manager of all medications being notify the house taken."
I'm afraid that I'm not on enough meds to understand that.

No really. And I mean *everybody*! There must be at least one thing for every living being on the planet.
Not saying they're all big things, or even desirable things, but most certainly there is enough so everyone can at least have one thing.
Something for everybody!
Now, everybody, please line up at the door to pick up your new stuff!
