I've married now for 10 years. When we were first married, I had these wonderful visions of how I was going to decorate our home. Boy was I wrong, Dave actually wanted a say in what we decorated with. He wanted a total southwest theme throughout the house. Yuck. But as to not rock the boat I went with it. It wasn't lke we had a whole lot to work with anyways. We were both going to college and working. Our furniture consisted of hand-me downs and a ugly 70's harvest gold 7ft couch. He actually paid money for this couch, when it should of been taken to field and used for a bonfire.
So fast forward now 10 years, I've taken over the living room with my love of old English country style. He hasn't said much. Now I'm wanting to redo our bedroom. Our bedding is a few years old, and after a few kids it has a few stains. So I've been online shopping for a new bedding set. And my taste leans toward floral prints. Now I'm not talking the loud in your face floral. But the soft femine floral, like shabby chic. David has vetoed everything I've picked out so far. He refuses to sleep under anything floral. I don't understand this since all he's gonna be doing is sleeping. It's not like he's going to get girlie cooties or something. Now I must also tell you David is colorblind. He sees browns and greens in reverse. He also has some trouble with reds and oranges. So when I've asked for him to pick out one he likes, it's usually something really bright and ugly.
I'm beginning to think the folks of the olden days had it right with seperate bedrooms.
So am I alone with my battle of home decor?
