When I saw the pictures of Carlisle train station, I couldn't help but smile. It was revamped for a Homebase advert of all things, and actually, it looks pretty darn fabulous with all of those stripes! (And I love the collection of lampshades dangling in the background.)

It's so fabulous that residents are campaigning on Facebook to keep it that way. And honestly, I can see why. I like it stripy! It's pretty! Imagine if all train stations looked like this. That would make waiting for a train much more fun.
Want stripes in your own home? Then how about this rug from Habitat:

Stripes are definitely more interesting than polka dots.
Can you imagine having a hangover in a world where all stations looked like this?
ReplyDeleteI see your point. But it's like Willy Wonka's chocolate factory!
