Thank you for all your comments yesterday. It’s really interesting to hear how you all work 
Today’s 6 sentences come from an exercise I did in my Faber class the week before last. The idea was to imagine you’re walking into a house and describe what you see…..
The hallway was a sensory overload. The muddy tones of the paisley carpet battled against the tiny delicate flowers that covered the walls. The ceiling and woodwork, painted white, a welcome reprieve to the eyes.
Turning into the dining room the carpet continued, but the walls were now a deep shade of red. A blood bath to dine by. The furniture, reproduction deep mahogany, a homage to Victorian style.
Who would live in a house like this?
I don’t know who’d live in the house, but I’d love to sleep in that bed.
He he he, I did CC!

You did? Wow! Nice house.
It was a hotel CC
Xx
Oh. Lol. Gotcha.
David; it’s over to you.
Ha ha ha, wow, yeah, I remember that show….excellent
Thanks for the reminder Barbara:)
Xx
Amazing bed!
It is isn’t it Dianne….I remember it being very comfy

Poetic, Vikki. A touch of Dickens, perhaps. “A blood bath to dine by.” added the fear aspect and, because the furniture was reproduction not authentic Victorian, I suspect all is not as it seems. Beginings of a horror story perhaps.
Ha ha ha, thanks Maddie
That’s what I was thinking

Great exercise and a great result. The mish mash of patterns in the hall makes it feel like a real place, not something taken from the pages of a glossy interior design magazine
Thanks Bridget, I really enjoyed the exercise
Xx
I second a horror-ish tone….I like it
As for who would live there……I’m thinking an evil Earl with lots of demons in his head….
I’m thinking a Norman Bates type character lives there Virginia
Ooooo, an evil Earl, good one
Xx
Yes! Def Norman Bates type
Earl Bates, perhaps? lol 
Our dining room used to be deep red! No paisley carpet though so it’s not my place.
He he he, I used to have a blood red dining room
Xx
love the images -
Thanks LouAnn

Vicki, this could so be “Gothic” in nature. I don’t think I’d feel comfortable living in a house with blood red walls … although I love the bed
Great job as always !!
Thanks Florence
Ooooo, yeah, a Gothic Mansion, love it!

Actually our house had wallpaper on ceiling and walls that clashed. And I designed some rooms for my psycho characters a few years ago, nothing like yours though
Ha ha ha, that was brave of you Sue!

“A blood bath to dine by.” That’s so cool! Good job. I’ve never been good at describing interior design! It sounds like you have an eye for it
Hi Katie
It’s really the first time I’d tried to actually describe something, trying to give a mood. Try it, it’s great fun
Thanks honey x
I don’t think you would sleep in that bed!
I did Jayne, in Stratford Upon Avon
