Let's play avesmor's game again - Do these rooms work and why?
Comments (24)I think they both work overall, but there are issues with both. To me,the first room works pretty well at first glance. But when you take a longer look, I think there are a couple of issues. It looks like a room that a 'real person' decorated, using things they had in part. The chair shape is great, but the fabric on the chair is wrong for the room. Not because of the print, but because it is done in 'dirty' colors (and actually, looks like an old chair),a fact the pillows on it highlight. Were the chair done in a white duck or a lime and turquoise stripe, it would be fine. The rug is again a 'dirty' color, more olive; a plain cream or white rug, or a colorful large scale modern print, would do more for the space. I love the READ on the wall, because I believe the framed pieces are favorite books (one is Eric Carle's "The very busy spider"). But I guess that to me would be better on another wall, near a reading chair or beanbag in a kid's room, and a bookshelf. Then again, if the child is a voracious reader, nothing wrong with celebrating that fact! The second room is fine, except for the fact that all the color weight is low in the space, and the lampshade disappears against the wall and looks awkward with the little built-in above. Instead of the lamp on the night stand, I would have hung reading lights of some kind centered above each headboard, done in brass (for the nautical feel) with lampshades in a print with deep blue (no stripes to compete with the beadboard) or a solid dark blue. It also looks like the rug is running in the wrong direction for the pattern. I would have also preferred to mix up the decorative pillows on each bed, so they weren't matching but complimentary, but that is not a big deal....See MoreDo you play online computer games?

Comments (21)No I wouldn't pay to play games on the computer. Even the train game. I enjoy it when it is free, but I tire of things really easily. If I play some games too long I see them behind my eyelids when I am trying to go to sleep at night. I think it works on my mind. My mother told me once that she never learned how to crochet from her mother. The reason was that DGM went to the doctor and the doctor told her she had to quit crocheting because it was working on her mind. This would have been in the days of kerosene lamps, thus not very good light. I think the same thing happened to her as it does to me. I do play yahoo pinochle and euchre. Right now I am doing jigsaw puzzles on shockwave, but I can't do it for very long or I see the pieces when I want to go to sleep. I also do the shanghai dynasty that someone mentioned on here and I like that. Also spider solitaire and majong titans. So I admit I love games but I would never pay for them....See MoreDo you play chess? Other games?
Comments (21)I played checkers when I was four, but switched to chess when I was about 10. There are some great looking chess sets, and I always wanted an onyx one from Mexico. I haven't played chess since I was a child. In college I played bridge, but my family mostly played canasta and dominoes (42). I also like pinochle and have a cribbage board but seldom play it. For Christmas a few years ago, I gave my niece the game, Black Card Revoked, not knowing whether she would like it, but we had fun playing it with her husband and my brother. I did not win - my niece is very competitive. I hate playing monopoly with people who are overly competitive. I used to play Trivia Pursuit with my family at Christmas, and I was pretty good at that. I have a Jumanji board game in my closet here that I have never played. I bought it after watching the movie (I think on eBay) but I would have to watch the movie again before playing it, I think. In Canada, I used to play Crapola with friends that I visited there. It requires six dice and was pretty much fun....See More- 10 years ago
