So we (me and Mrs CutCopyWrite) decorated our living room last weekend - or rather, we finished decorating it over a long period of curtain making (by his Mum), painting (by him), and arguing (both of us).
In fact, as I was reading about Eric Berne's theories of Transactional Analysis, it was a bit embarrassing how often we fitted into his roles (controlling parent, natural child, adaptive child, nurturing parent, and so on), and even more shaming how often I fitted into the natural child role.
Still, it works - this is what we ended up with. Note G-Plan dining chairs, feature walls, and original radiators.
