The 25 Biggest, Most Horrible, Most Shameful, Most Heinous Decorating Mistakes

[€uroMeinke]

The real conundrum is waking in the middle of the night, having to pee, and having an erection

[Alex]

The trick for that is to stand much farther away and perfect a slow shuffle forward.

While practicing you'll want a second toilet rug for the wall behind the toilet.

I think the list is a little elitist, but as someone who is or has been guilty of almost all the listed crimes (in thought if not in action), I guess the author would not give a hoot what I think of it.

No toilet rugs is a great rule for people who don't spend excessive amounts of time there. For me, though I don't currently have one in my home, I have thought about it. With my stomach issues, I can spend quite a while in there, and you do want a nice even surface to rest your feet on. Of course, it helps that my guy has good aim Ironically, I have the suggested arrangement of a regular rectangular rug, but given the layout of my bathroom, it's not possible to center the rug, thus my complaints about unevenness.

There are a couple good suggestions, like not pushing all your furniture to the wall and cutting back on ridiculous piles of accent pillows. But there were other complaints where I actually liked the so-called problem image, like the too many patterns one. Not that I purposely mix patterns that way, but I recognize it as a style that appeals to many and accept it as not outside the realm of acceptable (anyone ever step foot in a Chico's?)

Alex, if you sit to pee you dont need eyes open. and it's sometimes necessary with certain piercings.

you're very lucky... you can tell how good a lover your man is by how he uses the toilet.

After all, if a man in a fully lit room can't hit a hole that big.....

From what I've read, Leo's hole IS about that big.

Too. Many. Quotables! Can't. Decide!

Do I quote Alex saying:

But I derive my life energy from hate!

Too Formal - The day my coffee table doesn't have to call me sir is the day communists and al qaeda have won.

Who eats at the dining table? I don't give a damn whether the stacks of DVDs on the dining chairs are comfortable.

or

Improper Lighting - We once had a recessed dome light feel up my grandmother. So I drowned it under the rug.

???

And all the ones I was too lazy to copy and paste!

I believe it is technically not only a decorating faux pas but an etiquette faux pas to have numerous personal photos in public areas of the home.

This is a sin we do not commit, primarily because we are generally too disorganized to get things into frames.
