Regents Canal: Islington Tunnel to Kingsland Bridge


(This is a very pretty part of the canal, until about the A1200 bridge when the Council must change, because it's a bit scruffier.)

Think Like A Decorator wants you to think about what you want your house / room to say about you, and about what you're going to be doing in it. Socialising? Escaping the human race with a good book? Mostly Leslie Banker is socialising New York style - as we might expect - there's not a hi-fi listening room, a TV, or a computer gaming rig and chair in sight. Never mind, I can adapt the principles. I could also figure out what I thought was ridiculous styling, and thus what I might find acceptable. (You can't escape styling: you have so much as one plant in the house, that's an attempt at styling.) I realised I was trying to use one room to do too many things, and that a music listening room should be pretty much just that. It should not also try to be the room where I eat and do all my creative activities. That's why the back bedroom suddenly stopped being a bedroom. The guitars, piano keyboard and breakfast table are going there
