I need to decorate a bedroom, and I can't be arsed with the upheaval
and
mess of having it plastered (it will be necessary), I just want to
be
able to paint.

So I am thinking of sticking plasterboards to the wall with
something
inbetween the boards such as a thin piece of timber, slightly proud,
so
I don't need to try too hard to line the edges up and it will
(hopefully)look as if I have done it on purpose.

Has anyone done this sort of things before? Did it look OK?

Pine matchboarding over all walls and ceiling, and swear blind it's

Skateboards - check
Flares - check
Long hair on blokes - check.

matchboarding - it's a logical conclusion...

And half the stuff in the furniture stores - makes me feel I'm in a bad 70's
sci-fi film: mushroom stools and bright orange plastic furniture.


Just waiting for platform shoes to come in again for men. I felt tall then.
