It's always the quiet ones


Most places I find myself I somehow manage to always be branded "the quiet one" and have at times been made to feel as though this is a bad thing; being authentically myself. But as I get older and no more able to fake this adult confidence I feel that it is something to cherish.

So, here's to the quiet ones "Perform your magic, your incantations, your strange songs" you know who you are.

Say Goodnight Kevin

Maybe it represents a longing for a more innocent time, or is simply the result of watching too much American TV but I have always wanted a really 80's looking boys bedroom.

You know that scene in 'Home Alone' where he gets banished to the attic room? I never really understood how that was punishment. It was the coolest room ever!

With it's built up sofa-bed, naff graphic bed covers and American flag it looks like such a safe haven and somehow effortlessly cool- what every bedroom should be.




I often wonder how 80's film decor managed to be so exquisitely 80s and cool. Do you think they purposely tried to place cool objects in the hope of them then becoming iconic? Or did they simply decorate the room as was considered normal for that time? In 20 years time will we look back and say "Oh look, that rooms so minimalist and cool and of the noughties" I doubt it!

Here's my 80's Boys Bedroom Wishlist:
