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.

There was a radio phone in I was accidentally listening to once where the (male, of course) host was opining that it was really lazy of women not to match their underwear, and why didn't they just do it.

He's never had to buy women's underwear, has he?

One of the people I danced with, who was unable to work in a paid job so was supported by her partner, said her partner started exclaiming that she paid £15 for a bra, and was that really necessary? Bloody men. I told her what I paid for mine and she said he'd collapse at the thought of paying that much for a bra.

Lordy. My dad pretends to think that a pair of shoes costs £10, but he knows he is joking. £15 I would think was quite cheap for a bra, as long as it fit properly!
