Does your husband agree with your decor ideas for your house? I have had this question asked of me on more than one occasion and my answer is always a "what, you mean I should ask him first"?
In this house when hubby is away the wifey will paint. I almost always just go ahead and do my house decor changes without even telling hubby and if he notices when he gets home from work then great and if not then Im not about to tell him what I did.
I wonder if he leaves the house wondering what wifey is going to do while he is away. Sometimes he stops at the door upon entering the house and takes a few seconds to look around as if he is trying to figure out if this is the correct house or not.
To help him feel needed in the decor decisions of our house if I feel like I want his input on paint colors then here is what I do. I first get the sample color of the paint I like, I then pick out 2 more colors that are hideous and then lay all 3 color samples in front and ask his opinion. Only once has this backfired.
I am a bargain shopper as well and I reuse items in the house. I never throw away a good piece of wood, we took down a wall once and kept all of the trim which is now the chair molding in the kids bathroom. I move furniture around the house and just paint it. I picked up a dresser at a yard sale 2 yrs ago for $10 and it has been in 2 different rooms and 2 different colors and now sits in my entry way. I search craigslist, yard sales, goodwill, my mom and sisters house for stuff when they are done with it and want to get rid of it. One mans trash is another mans treasure.
With all of this being said it also helps that either hubby is used to my changes, is oblivious to my changes or is to tired to say anything....either way it works for me.
