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.

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.

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

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….

Our dining room used to be deep red! No paisley carpet though so it’s not my place.

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 !!

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
