That's precisely what I like too - they tend to offer alternative, lighter-wood effects, and lighter woods too.

And some of their veneer materials (sort of like a chipboard-pro) are also excellent, and much more durable than the MFI crapola. I've got a bedside unit in light wood veneer of theirs that I've had for 10 years, and it's been, and remains, solid as a rock. Even the drawer runners are a cut above, quality-wise; they always move beautifully, and the engineering in them (for a mass produced down to a price item) must be amazing.

Yeah, right.  What that means is there's your 'mess', but his 'clutter'.

Right. I'm just going to hide under this table until the blood stops showering down.

Status: offline 		Actually nope, clutter is too much or too heavy furniture, I prefer open spaces, a few pieces of antique furniture mixed with very simple modern stuff, I can't stand brick-a-brack and all the dust collecting objects, just like I dislike plates with patterns (white, simple, that's it) and I can't tolerate clothes closets in bedrooms, ever since I could afford it I had a spare room where I kept all my clothes, bedrooms have to be minimalistic, and old seaman chest as "box of tricks" bedside cabinet, bed, book shelves, all you need in a bedroom.

His idea would be overstuffed furniture, velvet curtains, lots of flat screen TVs, amps and guitar stands that are overfloating with guitars, we made a compromise, he got velvet curtains and all the guitars in his office and an arm chair and a flat screen in the lounge and I'm currently transforming the garage in a gigantic shoe shelf, everybody happy...

All in all, I can find better cheaper furniture elsewhere, but I do like the ikea storage. And I am very happy with my new bed cover and velvet cushion. Their ranges of textiles is very fun!

Somerset?

No UK accent resembles the American accents you hear on TV. There are some southern accents that do, though.

Could be Somerset, Devon or Cornwall. 

Heh.  Did you get one of those postcards with a pic of a besmocked man, and a rhyme that starts, "Graytinz vrum Zzummerrrzzet!"?

Yep, I see what you mean.  A friend of mine in London is like that.  Everyone hates his guitars, all lined up across the room like soldiers.  He and I painted his front room once:  the only way to do it was to move all his stuff into the middle to get to the walls.  That, though, took an afternoon on its own.

I do like a big armchair, though.  The sides of mine are excellent for storing biscuits and bits of toast.

Status: offline 		Call me narrow minded, but 20 odd guitars (haven't counted them in ages but they seem to have secret affairs and create more guitars, along with amps and pedals) are a bit excessive for somebody who doesn't play in a band. It's a bit like the invasion of the killer guitars...

Plus with cats and dog running about, you want them stored away in a room where they can't knock them over, damned things are expensive.

Status: offline 		my life is full of things I would never give up, I may not be submissive but hey I have limits too..............

My number one limit would be my dog........ if you don't like and grow to love my dog you will not last with me.

I like a plush bed......... 800 thread count sheets, fluffy comforters, and piles of pillows...... don't like it? sleep on the sofa.

I am a bit of a night owl....... deal with it.

I adore books, I have them everywhere, if they bother you or the last book you read was in 12th grade.......... goodbye.........

If you ever cut your toenails in my living room I will use something big and heavy to beat you in the head... that's nasty!!

oh and I REFUSE to cook or even have liver in my house unless it's a liver treat for the dog..........yuck

It made me laugh, but it also made me think about how sometimes the really hard stuff isn't the stuff you think about at all. It's the "stupid stuff." Most people think of hard limits, and issues, as being more geared toward the sexual stuff. I've found though that a lot of times the hard stuff is really the every day stuff.
This is certainly my impression. Unless sex IS someone's whole life, than I cannot see how sex could even remotely be measured against... well.... life in terms of potential invasiveness, etc.

Agreed, but the normal life invasiveness isn't something we tend to focus on here :) We have the expectation that having to drink his piss might be hard, but we don't think about having to eat steak a certain way, or only listening to his music, and so on. Personally these things are fairly easy for me to give up. As long as he is happy I just don't really care. That doesn't mean though that I don't have a moment of saying, wow, really, no more fresh trees? It flits through my brain, creates a footstomp, and then vanishes. I thought it would be interesting to hear what others have had those "hard moments" over that didn't entail a sexual act... since the sex ones are the most commonly discussed on here, but aren't necessarily the things that really make you go... oh my gosh!

As a long term resident of the Dearborn Inn I was really taken by some of the accents but couldn't place them. The coin droppeth.
