Are there really people who, when visiting a house, stick their head in the shower and then pass judgement on it?

Oh no. People can see that I wash my clothes. The horror of having to put the machine where you have space for it.

Not true. Take a look at some of the most traditional British houses.

Again, depends on the pattern, I know people with scrolly brocade carpet and it looks luxe in a carved-wood living room.

Huh? Aren't shelves for putting things on? Otherwise, what's the point of having them? Is this shelf 'cluttered'?

Dunno where you live mate, but i've frankly never been to a country where it seemed they hid them. These days interesting designs for your radiators are actually all the rage?!

There's a place for thick rugs, there's a place for thin rugs. I won't put a thick rug in our nursery, because it's harder to clean and our twins have had diaper accidents sometimes. Similar with the hallways, why would you put a thick rug where people walk in with their shoes on? In our living room, go ahead, I'll take a rug I could lose my keys in.
