4 QUOTES WITH «SITTING ROOM»

Famous quotes and sentences with the word sitting room.
1
Margaret Heffernan
I haven't always hated McDonald's. When my kids were little and I lived in the U.S., they were as susceptible as anyone to Happy Meals and tatty toys that subsequently littered our sitting room.
2
Simon Hoggart
Life was so much simpler in pre-video days when everyone refused invitations because the 'Forsyte Saga' was on. Now we all just have a long list of unwatched shows, all of which, it seems, our friends are raving about. I feel as outdated as if I wore a Fair Isle sweater, ate Pot Noodle and had a two-bar electric fire in the sitting room.
3
Debi Mazar
I don't like the idea of things being off-limits to kids - like a fancy sitting room where they can't touch anything. I own vintage pottery cups, and I let my girls hold them. It teaches them to treat objects with respect.

Juliet Stevenson
If I could have any artist's work on my sitting room wall it would probably be by Van Gogh or Picasso.
