Proof of good taste?

I see my Denby breakfast mugs on Emmerdale on the Bartons Kitchen table, just as long as I never get to see anyone with the same wall paper that adorns the Queen Vic in Eastenders it is just a full wall of Parrots in vibrant colours confused but each to their own.

I bought some lovely bed linen from House of Fraser and bought the matching curtains but was horrified to see it in a murder, mystery series. The body was found on MY duvet cover and it was soaked with blood shock

I made some amazingly trendy curtains for DS's bedroom when he was 14.
The fabric was from Ikea and was black with red and grey splodges.
This was teamed with black wall paper with small grey flecks.
I was mortified to see the curtains on one of the bedrooms in Neighbours.

I have seen the feature wallpaper from my bedroom on various programmes and in a few different colour ways.
I can't decide if that means I have taste or not.

I often enjoy spotting the props in TV programmes! (Sad, I know ) The same chairs, sofas etc appear in different dramas. I often see my crockery in programmes and adverts. It's a common set from the well known D***by range. Years ago another set of our crockery was on the packet of a well known breakfast cereal, which of course we had to buy because it matched! Xx

I was once horrified to see my expensive MOB fascinator adorning an Albert Square head in Eastenderssad

I haven't watched Corrie for years, petallus but I remember being horrified to see my new duvet cover on Jack and Vera's bed. shock

I put a new roller blind on my landing window yesterday. I chose it with great care from John Lewis and thought it very tasteful.

This evening, watching Coronation Street, a scene in the back room of the Rover's Return, and lo and behold Steve's and Michelle's wallpaper is the exact same design and colour as my blind! shock
