So I'm in a little cafe in central London. I've had a lot of tea, as you often do in London, so I head for the "loo." On top of the toilet was the most hysterical attempt at self-decorating that I had ever seen. I had to take a photo and share it with you all.

So, the cafe owner started with a flower vase. Can't go wrong with a nice vase, right? He or she then started doing a layered design with colored sand, but...Oh hell, let's call him Nigel. Nice Brittish name. Well, Nigel realized that it was a really tall vase and filling it with sand one layer at a time was going to take quite a while, not to mention more sand then he had laying around. So, Nigel thinks to himself...

"Hmmmm, what else is decorative but bulky...Pine cones. Yeah, pine cones. Shit, I only have 3. But I do have some potpourri. That should match up with sand and pine cones. And, after all, it's going in a bathroom...."

"Peeeeyew, Man! That stuff smells way too strong. I've got to dampen that a little bit. I've got to find something that will cover the smell, but keep things colorful. I think I've got some faux turquoise rocks in my aquarium. There, that should cover it up...."

"Hmmmm, I don't know there's still something missing...Where's that big baby blue crystal paperweight I never use. Yeah, the more beautiful things I add the more beautiful this decorative piece will be."

"Let me back off and have a look. Yes, green, yellow, pink, purple, pinecone, potpourri, turquois, baby blue. It goes with everything"

"Perfect! Now this bathroom is fit for the Queen. Classy!"
