I feel that this is a bad idea: book headboard.

1) It is basically a collecting ground for dust, which is exactly what you want above your head while you're sleeping.

2) It's going to get dirty/torn very easily.

3) The first time you sit up in bed you'll bed and fold bits of pages and it'll look rubbish. The project's from a year ago, I bet it looks really tatty now.

4) It just seems like a warning to other books. I bet the ones you read in bed wouldn't like it, having to stare over your shoulder at its comrades, with pages that could once flutter in the breeze nailed flat to a wall.

(Though if you are going to do that I suppose they've done it quite well, unlike other book atrocities which don't even look nice.)

I went to look at their other projects - such organised http://www.designeverydayblog.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/07/3.jpg>underwear! It does look quite nice, but I am somehow deeply suspicious of anyone together enough to have so many matching sets for everyday use. A friend of mine does that, she said she just assumed it was what you were supposed to do, and was surprised when someone at a party made reference to someone else being the sort of person whose pants always matched their bra as if that were unusual. Maybe I am just a slattern.

That would be great!

I recently moved on from 15 years of only ever wearing black M&S knickers and bought a coloured pack of M&S knickers. The kids didn't approve as they fear change.

Welcome to the world of coloured M&S knickers! I have summer and winter ones - identical, except in colour.

(I do have knickers that aren’t M&S 5-packs, but they sit forlorn at the back of the drawer.)
