KITCHEN PORN!?

The colour is called Cocoa but it's actually more of a dark mushroom colour than brown and this one is Rustoleum not Annie Sloan. The clear wax is Annie Sloan though. I'll be glad when they're finished. Having to keep stopping and starting because of other jobs (like shopping) is driving me mad.

A new tin of wax has just arrived so now I have no excuse!

It’s amazing that fabric chairs become like leather! What colour are they?
Didn’t you also do a chest of drawers? I thought I may give it a go.

Yes I do, lemongrove. I'm just re-painting a couple of winged armchairs that I first did four years ago. They were looking a bit worn.

Once they're waxed they look and feel just like leather chairs.

The reason I go to all this trouble is that we have two almost white Jack Russells and their hairs are easy to hoover up if the chairs don't have a fabric finish. These are the only chairs they're allowed on. Throws are of limited use because they scrabble them up into a ball to make a bed!

Merlot didn’t you also use Annie Sloan chalk paint on furniture as well, a year or so ago?
I remember thinking it sounded good.

Oh dear, I feel a right wally, I thought that kitchen porn was making use of the kitchen table other than what it was made for..

I don't think there's anything wrong in 'drooling' over homes, kitchens etc., that we know we're never going to have unless we win the lottery. I sent DD2 a link to an article about Nigella's kitchen knowing she would love reading it.

Years ago I painted some old mock leather table mats with Annie Sloan chalk paint then waxed them to a shine. I was delighted to see a pic of Nigella's coasters looking just like mine. I have reminded DD that they all took the p**s but I must have been ahead of my time

Now I just need to remember where I've put them!!

Presumably it's meant in the same sense as 'property porn', I.e.drooling over houses or kitchens that you're never likely to have, and in practice maybe wouldn't even want.

I'm another who never watches LW or Nigella. Far too irritating, the lot of them. Mind you I find so many people on TV profoundly irritating nowadays.
Bring back that Grumpy Old Women programme! Now there was one I really used to enjoy...

quizqueen &W11girl I have no problem with this program because I have never watched it

That option is available to everyone, so no need to call for the programme to be removed, just choose not to watch it, and those that want to watch it, can.

Personally I don't watch daytime TV, but if others want to then fine. If the programme content isn't obscene, racist etc, then it's ok to broadcast.

Lots of programmes are trashy, puerile etc, (in some people's opinion) if you wanted all of those removed, then we would have a much restricted tv schedule.

Well I must live in a different world to you lot, I ve never heard anything other that sex stuff referred to as porn Never heard of cars, boats, handbags, gardens or food with a porn title

When Loose women first came on the scene I thought it was a good programme with some interesting takes on subjects It has gone down and down until it is incredibly trashy and I can’t bear to see it now

Another who finds Nigellas flirty fluttery ways incredible irritating so can’t watch her either

Hear hear Quizqueen!

Loose Women, trashy programme from my occasional glimpses, so not surprised at all.

You're right, its infantile and inappropriate and has no place on TV or anywhere else. Its pathetic.

This program should be taken off. If it was a group of men making the same sort of comments about women and other issues aired in the program that these women make about men etc. then the media would seek to ruin their careers. Don't give this trash any screen time in your home.

DH and I adore kitchen porn and bathroom porn too

What title does 'Four in a bed' warrant

When we pursue anything boaty we refer to it as boat porn. As we are building a boat, it’s just something that we say because we love the boat life. It’s just an expression

Oh I am not alone! radicalgran understands me .

Well! This innocent took it to mean drooling over some one elses kitchen design or gadgets or catalogues. Lakeland plastics was one such place.

I will have to stop using that expression. I also suffer from "garden porn" plant catalogues etc.
I do wish people would stop hijacking our language .

Some years ago, I remember watching a 'one-off' 'cheffy' programme and the chef said that, to become good in the food industry, you need to be able to find the exact word to describe foods, so that the listener / watcher can be riding alongside you and be only short of the real taste. I think Nigella Lawson is an interesting chef and probably the only programme I would sit through, from beginning to end. If she chooses words to describe a food's texture or taste, I can feel it, too. As for 'kitchen porn (I've never heard of it before and imagined scantily-clad' wannabees), I think some words likely 'the sexy, smooth, flow of the white chocolate off the back of the spoon (my words)' sounds inviting but not sexual. I'd definitely want to 'go all the way'.

I don't watch Loose Women.
I do, however, lust over having an enormous extension so that I can have the hugest kitchen ever. My DH will not agree to this desire.

Sorry if my post was repetitive, but I can't bear her, all that fake coyness and eye liner.

I think this originally stemmed from bl**dy Nigella Lawson, whose programmes I loathe.

I think Loose Women gas just sunk to even lower depths.

Why does sex have to be linked to everything... porn, sexing things up etc. I find it really inappropriate. Prudish? probably... but then in the 1970s I was accused of being prudish too however alot of people look back at the 70s as inappropriate now. I must be very ahead of the times.

The definition of pornography is 'printed or visual material containing the explicit description or display of sexual organs or activity, intended to stimulate sexual excitement' - it's clearly another indication of the linguistic ignorance of our society that we now have phrases like kitchen porn, and car porn in common usage and people actually interpret this as meaning 'something we love about the kitchen or 'something we love about cars'. Are we so short on vocabulary that we had to do this and simultaneously sexualise every aspect of our lives? Quite frankly there's no reason why they such phrases should become even more commonplace by being bandied around on TV by the Loose Women team. However, of late this is just becoming par for the course for that particular programme - just tired of seeing one person in particular drooling embarrassingly over every man under the age of 40 who appears on the show.
