I've been watching a make over show everyday, for weeks, and they use wallpaper but only on one wall, the 'feature wall' or just on a chimney breast, and it's really clever because you can have some pattern but not so it's overwhelming and they use wallpaper with horizontal stripes to make the room seem taller, and turn it so the lines go vertical to make a room look wider Happy Really, I should have painted my long walls green and my little walls purple rather then the other way round, but then I think it would have felt too boxed in, although I kinda wish I'd done it all green with a purple carpet but oh well, got loads of green and white things.

So anyway my room was getting cluttered more then ever, so I moved some piles of books off the floor and onto this trolly that's going when I get shelves but I had other books that wouldn't fit on it. So I put the ones that didn't fit in this big gift bag that was in the room with the presents still in it (which were books anyway), so I put the books from the floor all in this bag and it's great it doesn't seem to take up as much space as a pile. It got me thinking, I've seen these book bags about, so if you don't have enough shelves (or can't put them up cuz of money/landlords or something) you could put books in tote bags and hang them on hooks and handles. If you made them yourself they could have patterns on like in the room etc

It's called 60 Minute Makeover and they do a house over in 60 minutes! They take all the stuff out first cuz they wouldn't be able to get the make over done in 60 seconds if they had to move stuff out and strip walls and fireplaces. They always do a good job, getting a bit bored of it now, every weekday I watch it, and the presenter annoys me 'oh what a transformation in 60 minutes' yeees that's the whole point!
