For The Sunday Muse which is hosted by Carrie💜

Shabby chic he calls it. I’m not sure about that. Shabby yes, but more cheap than chic! His furniture looks so tired; the grandfather clock nodded off at twenty-past eight, just look at the miserable expression on its face!
It’s the height of domiciliary fashion he told me. Really? More trashion than fashion I think. An eclectic mix he claims. That’s one way of putting it I suppose!
A miscellany said he
A jumble said I
A gallimaufry, he
A hotchpotch, I
An omnium-gatherum, he
A what? I
A salmagundi, he
You’ve lost me! said I.
Well, he likes it, obviously. Me? I’m an Ikea kinda guy.
Minimalist said I
Basic said he
Modern, I
Characterless, he
Contemporary, I
Floccinaucinihilipilification, he
I beg your pardon said I.
Our discussion was going nowhere. Time to find some common ground.
A glass of wine? said he
In a modern glass? said I
Oh shut up, he!
Vive la difference, I
Cheers, said he.
