    Ideal Homes

    Since the farmhouse (my house/bungalow/shack) was built I've made a few minor adjustments.

    The dining room was lacking that, you know, je ne sais pas..and I felt it needed making good..

    So a lick of paint was administered, new silver ware purchased and a few servants were thrown in for good measure.

    I'm fairly pleased with it now..



    Got the shatter to sort out next..

    Yep, they're all Burmese as it happens.

    Smuggled them back from Ranong in my briefcase.

    No need to let the authorities know..

    It looks good. Lots of floorspace for eating dinner on.

    Extra points for a charcoal burner and clay crockpot.
    It was a nice touch though to make the floors all smooth and shiny- it makes it much easier for the staff to clean up the prawn tails and bones. Or just let the dogs in.

    I simple hand clap away.."peasant! fetch my somtam condiments right away"

    ^^^ I like what you've done with the place Bogie. I daresay you've had a fair few cracking games of croquet on that lawn.

    For the bathroom, I think you'll find my sophistication and eye for contemporary style shining through here..

    I have a few gold tiles that have been sitting waiting for the price to go up to $1500, but you can have them for your toilet
