My spare room Not sure that it’s the best choice of things to be placed on the bed … it’ll give them a creek in the neck counting stars or … sheep ! … & give me the creeps trying to get to sleep later … might start dreaming as to what else is in the bed

I won’t be able to sleep in such room with so many eyes staring at me!

Along the lines of a tidy house means a boring mind.

A man after my own heart! Who was it who said that a tidy desk is the sign of a sick mind?

Now that does surprise me that you have some of those stuffed trophies in your spare bedroom, I don’t remember seeing any in your photos

I think this room was the spare bedroom or the collection room, rather than the place the owner slept

I will check you your post

Awwww, Bernard …a few trophies is fine…even several, if they’re ON THE WALL

But like…3 heads, lying on a bed, on the pillows?

(Reminds me of that scene in the “Godfather” with the horse’s head, ugh).

Hey, I get the accomplishment piece. For instance, right now, I have Detroit’s lucky, prize 3D Eventing saddle over an end table in the corner of my living room – wouldn’t have been my first thought, but I kinda like it there.

A man should make his mark on the home, he lives there too

Why is everyone laughing? A few of us single males like collecting interesting bits and pieces from the real old ‘better’ days.
After-all I can’t see people of either sex collecting todays bling and tat?
Now on the subject of ’stuffed head trophies’ would it surprise you to know that I share my home here with a few of these?
I never liked the idea of stuffing live creatures, but when they were clearing out Lord Desborough’s trophies at Taplow Court – yes, you guessed – some ended up in my spare bedroom. :O
A subject for a future post.
Cheers…… Bernard
(By the way I’ve put up Part 2 of Taplow Court on ‘Blast from the Past blog).

The jumble makes my smile but I am not one for stuffed head trophies on the wall, let alone on the bed…
