Berks do furnish a room
I've decorated/unpacked and I'm really happy with my room. I go into small ecstasies at every minor amendment, and send links and pics to friends and relatives:
'I have a nice lamp.' '
'You know all that random stuff which I used to have in plastic bags? I have stuck it to the wall with blu-tack.'
'I am wondering about a rug.'
This is both too much (waffling), and not enough (it fails to convey the emotional content, no matter how many '!!!'s I put after each statement).
So I have boiled down what I want to communicate to the essentials, and will share it, once and (probably not) finally, with you all.
I own objects which I find pleasing.
I have arranged them in ways that I think it has made them more than the sum of their parts. This shows that I am Awesome.
I think some of the objects are High Quality.
I believe this reflects well on me as their owner, despite it being a Total Coincidence that I ended up with most of them.
Most of them I paid less than the going rate for. High five!
Some of them I assembled myself using tools. Way butch!
I have a lot of books. Most of them are now visible. This fills me with smug contentment.
Things that are not books have been Artfully Concealed.
The furniture that is not holding up books is very snuggly.
That sofa alone has four textures on it. They are Super Nice. Go on, give them a try.
If you like, you can offer completely generic congratulations.
