Design For Living - Flanders & Swann[00:00:00]

When we started making money[00:00:07]

When we started making friends[00:00:09]

We found a home as soon as we were able to[00:00:12]

We bought this bijou residence for about a thousand more[00:00:15]

Than the house our little house was once the stable to[00:00:18]

With charm[00:00:21]

Colour values[00:00:22]

Wit[00:00:23]

And structural alteration[00:00:23]

Now designed for graceful living[00:00:25]

It has quite a reputation[00:00:28]

We're terribly House and Garden[00:00:32]

At number seven-B[00:00:34]

We live in a most amusing muse[00:00:36]

Ever so very contemporary[00:00:39]

We're terribly House and Garden[00:00:41]

The money that one spends[00:00:42]

To make a place that won't disgrace[00:00:44]

Our House and Garden friends[00:00:46]

We've planned an uninhibited interior decor[00:00:48]

Curtains made of straw[00:00:52]

We've wallpapered the floor[00:00:53]

We don't know if we like it but at least we can[00:00:56]

Be sure[00:00:58]

There's no place like Home Sweet Home[00:00:59]

It's fearfully Maison Jardin[00:01:02]

At number seven-B[00:01:05]

We've rediscovered the chandelier[00:01:06]

Tres tres very contemporary[00:01:09]

We're terribly House and Garden[00:01:11]

Now at last we've got the chance[00:01:13]

The garden's full of furniture[00:01:15]

And the house is full of plants [00:01:16]

It doesn't make for comfort[00:01:19]

But it simply has to be[00:01:21]

'Cause we're ever so terribly up-to-date[00:01:22]

Contemp-or-ar-or-y [00:01:24]

Have you a home that cries out to your every visitor[00:01:26]

"Here lives someone who is exciting to know" [00:01:28]

No [00:01:32]

Well why not collect those little metal[00:01:33]

Bottle-tops and nail them upside-down to the floor [00:01:37]

This will give the sensation of walking on little metal[00:01:41]

Bottle-tops turned upside-down[00:01:45]

Why not get hold of an ordinary Northumbrian[00:01:48]

Spokeshaver's coracle Paint it in contrasting stripes[00:01:52]

Of say telephone black and white white and hang it[00:01:56]

Up in the hall for a guitar tidy for parties[00:01:59]

Why not drop in one evening for a mess of pottage [00:02:03]

Our speciality just aubergine and carnation petals[00:02:08]

With a six-shilling bottle of Mielle du Pap a feast[00:02:11]

Fit for a king[00:02:14]

I'm delirious about our new cooker fitment with the[00:02:16]

Eye-level grille This means that without my having to[00:02:18]

Bend down the hot fat can squirt straight into my[00:02:21]

Eyes [00:02:24]

We're frightfully House and Garden [00:02:29]

At number seven-B [00:02:31]

The walls are patterned with shrunken heads [00:02:32]

Ever so very contemporary[00:02:34]

Our boudoir on the open plan has been a huge[00:02:37]

Success[00:02:40]

Though everywhere's so open there's nowhere[00:02:40]

Safe to dress [00:02:42]

With little screens and bottle lamps [00:02:44]

And motifs here and there [00:02:46]

Mobiles in the air[00:02:48]

Ivy everywhere [00:02:49]

You mustn't be surprised to meet a cactus on the stair[00:02:51]

But we call it Home Sweet Home[00:02:54]

We're terribly House and Garden[00:02:57]

As I think we've said before[00:02:59]

But though seven-B is madly gay[00:03:00]

It wouldn't do for every day[00:03:03]

We actually live in seven-A[00:03:06]

In the house next door[00:03:09]
