When I was about 14 my bedroom was given a 'makeover' whilst I was away at school. Just before returning for the holidays a Siamese Cat got into the house, found my lovely new bedroom, and scratched a huge hole into the new carpet. I was then forced to have my bed in a ridiculous position in order to hide the hole. May I suggest that an Ottoman be placed over the wine stain; or an Welshman maybe.
The middle of the doorway is the perfect position for your movable animal fur, ie Rick. It always suprises me that the three of us are so often on the same square metres of floor.
I didn't know they still had bears in rural Lincolnshire. By the way, I once tripped on our kitchen threshold whilst holding an open can of paint. We claimed for a new carpet and for the contents of our laundry basket. It was a genuine claim and the insurance company raised no obstacles.
My husband had new light tan shoes when he "helped" me deep fat fry something and of course somehow he splattered on the shoes. So I "painted" the whole shoe with the fat and presto - no spots! Maybe you should think about a whole pattern of red splotches all over the carpet - an abstract rug!
Works for me!
ReplyDeleteI think it's a brilliant idea.
DeletePS: We have a black cowhide on the floor and everybody asks my husband where he shot the bear. Uhmmm, at IKEA ...
ReplyDeleteI'm with Paul. Just forget about it.
ReplyDeleteToo sensible.
DeleteI won't comment any more on the carpet. It is too boring

ReplyDeleteThat's a great suggestion, except the stain is in the middle of the doorway!
DeleteStill hunting it!

ReplyDeleteI could just tell Rick to position himself on the mark I suppose.
DeleteWhat does Rick think of the bear ?
ReplyDeleteHe can't bear it.
DeleteHaven't bought it yet!
DeleteThat made me laugh! Rick will throw it around like his bunny
ReplyDeleteHe would attack it!

Lots of bears roaming these parts.
DeleteIs Paul Daddy Bear?
DeleteI suspect there would soon be another wine stain about a yard further on from the old one.
ReplyDeleteHaha - this is very true.
DeleteMy DIL has a real bear rug, her father was a hunter and shot it. Not my cup of tea, it gives me the willies!
ReplyDeleteOh no, couldn't bear that!
DeleteThey are great photo 'props' for babies and puppies.

ReplyDeleteThe newly spilt wine did look quite impressive (with splattered walls to match) before I turned it into a big, purple smudge.
