We'll just start on the tablecloth and the curtains, then...

I'm no big fan of the spindly patterned curtains but they have served their purpose. They came from my wife-to-be's flat over 28 years ago so have provided value for money even if they have not been featured in the Smug Style supplements. The tablecloth came from Bedoin market 18 years ago. It's some kind of oilcloth and can be wiped down with a sponge when I elbow my can of FYP. I like it.
Bog off, fashion victim!
I was so gobsmacked by the Christmas tablecloth I didn't notice the curtains.
Edit: Or the pneumatic cylinder.

63mm bore, 200mm stroke. It might deliver about 300kgf at 7 bar.
Five port valves cost very little from China but I have yet to assemble the gadget. Another of my works in progress.
Toshiba Satellite L?Oh no, looks like you have the same laptop as me with the stupid mousey type pad.

Over-spec'd for a paperweight which isn't even being used – an envelope is about to fall off that gorgeously attired work surface. I assume you bought the tablecloth from a cyclist who moved to Bedoin to be near Mount Ventoux and now funds his or her lifestyle by selling crafts by the side of the road.
Am considering mounting a class action suit on behalf of those of us who feel increasingly guilt-ridden about our pristine desktops. Unless that's just me. Have decided to unveil my loft after all, as well as my shed. Finally there's a desk drawer, open for the inspection of any forensics specialists.
Really should return those library books one of these days.
The new lawnmower in the box didn't fall off the back of a lorry, honest.
My filing system in all its glory.
Everything covered in plastic. I go back to my earlier serial killer observation. Easy to wipe the blood up. Is that a butchers hook I see?

Well, I guess if one is to have a reputation, it's best that it's Don't mess with me or you may end up on a hook.
The dropcloths lining the interior of the shed – garage is too grand a name for it – are to help keep debris from filtering inside through the very large gaps in the walls to cover everything, and spiders (they make them very large out here) from dropping from the rafters to take me down. Also stops the wind from chilling my bones in the winter whenever I have to spend more than a few minutes inside. Makes a creepy crinkling noise when breathing in and out though.
btw, I've just had a closer look at the picture you provided. Is that a drone to the left of the lamp?
