This post is like really inexpensive THERAPY! My boyfriend and I are decoring a new home together and he has issues with everything I want to do. Thanks for the cute post to remind me I’m not alone with this one! xoxo – cfox.

I think I wrote a post about this a while ago called - does your husband have a say. MINE doesnt.

He has three rules: dont spend a lot of money, dont bother me, and the room/item has to function properly and not be annoying.

Most guys know jack shit about interior design... once you convince him that you arent going to turn his house into a froo froo girly house and that you know how to make rooms comfortable, he should ease up a bit!

That last chair is fabulous! I love the purple by it! If I was married, I have a feeling I would still be making all the decisions, but let him put his input in… sometimes (:
Glad I found your blog! New follower!

I ADORE that sofa- in navy velvet if you please- it’s one of my all time favourites. As for boy part of the equation, I override I’m afraid- we always discuss and he says absolutely no to some things but most of the time, I kind of win with the ‘I know what’s best’ diatribe. It’s a girls’ perogative:)

I always tell people that my husband is my most difficult client! And I can’t believe your man said no to that fabulous chandelier!

Ohhhhh yes. You know what I’ve started doing? Just buy it. I find he just expresses his opinion but then moves on. Whereas if we discuss before the purchase and he’s not into it, it’s too hard to move forward with it.

I know EXACTLY how you feel. I am in the exact same position! Hate getting my ideas shot down- especially the ones I’m obsessed with!

Oh dear me… the boy and I struggled for months with this. It took me implementing a few things that he discovered he liked. Slowly the trust built up and now he pretty much let’s me do whatever I want. But I also know my limits- no floral and no pink. (Except for in my private office.)

PS- I was eyeing that exact R&B sofa months ago and he nixed it too! So sad. And I’m using that chandelier in a foyer I’m doing!! I’ll have to snap a photo and show you when its installed.
