Overheard at the Guardian reading, Tofu eating, Yoghurt weaving, Vegan Deli Counter

Originally, I thought this article was a pastiche, a Daily Mash type pisstake.

But it turns out it's an actual thing, from The Guardian.

In it, among other things, Xanthe Dewsnap gives us some fabulous ideas on 'an economical way of painting' ones home:

Xanthe’s love of bold colours started in her early 20s when she studied theatre design, but she’d never had the opportunity to use it until living in this house, because previously they’d always rented. “I like to think about views through the home, seeing from one space to the next, so I went for neutral tones like the Skimming Stone on the walls from Farrow & Ball.”
This has left room for bolder, more colourful furniture and patterned elements. “I’ve then repeated bolder paint colours throughout the house, so there’s consistency and links to each room,” says Xanthe. The Theatre Red from Little Greene on the staircase is repeated in accessories and small furniture pieces, like the red stool in her bedroom; the blue tones are added in various ways on the walls, or painted on larger furniture pieces, for example on the dresser and window frames in the kitchen, which are painted in Tea With Florence from Little Greene.

I kid you not.
