Do you and DH/significant other "AGREE" on house ideas?
One bath done, so much more to go and Im dragged to Home Depot or Lowes to decide on tiles, color, decor...etc.
We spend hrs in there trying to "AGREE" what looks right and what he and I want...what matches!
its a comedy act almost!

Re: Do you and DH/significant other "AGREE" on house ideas?
When remodeling our bathroom, I did a lot of research online - requested brochures, printed inspiration pics, etc. From there I found out who made what and we looked at 2 or 3 options in person at a time. From there we narrowed down our choices to our final decision.
It would drive me completely insane if we had to make those decisions after spending hours staring at so many options. I like having ideas of what I want before I see things in person.
Thankfully we have the same or similar taste so the process has always been relatively smooth.

Re: Do you and DH/significant other "AGREE" on house ideas?
Do you not notice me standing in the aisles with you? Every other day we "have" to go to Lowes or Home Dept to look at yet ANOTHER tile or paint chip...I am so sick of going to these places -
I LOVE DH with all my heart but the man cares a little too much about how thngs match with each other - "does the kitchen tile go with the couches"  ???? The stock boy was laughing while this conversation was going on...
We pretty much have the same taste but when I say no to something he gets all pissy about it and goes on and on about why it would look good and why we should go for it...in the end I just end up giving up...I just want out of the store by that point

Re: Do you and DH/significant other "AGREE" on house ideas?
I know what you are going through Deb! Even though DH & I have not had to do any remodeling, it is a comdey act when we go to Lowe's or Home Depot to get things for the rooms. We have the same taste but my DH is not too concerned with matching things! He does not understand that with the open floor plan that we have, the entire house must flow together!

Re: Do you and DH/significant other "AGREE" on house ideas?
We basically have the same taste so most times we are in accordance. However, if I like something that he does not like most times he would give in to me.

Re: Do you and DH/significant other "AGREE" on house ideas?
we differ a lot..it makes making a decision hard. We take forever to choose something and then the project takes years to accomplish.
I just ordered drapes from PB and he hasn't seen them yet and he already thinks they won't go.
His mother told him to leave it all up to me but he won't.

Re: Do you and DH/significant other "AGREE" on house ideas?
DH told me that if we get a big screen TV he'll let me do whatever I want.
he voices his opinion from time to time anyway though, which I do want though usually do not agree with. In the end, he usually gives in to me.
I usually think his decorating ideas are strange -- he'll want to put things in odd places and such.

Re: Do you and DH/significant other "AGREE" on house ideas?
We usually dont agree and it drove me crazy when we were redoing our house. It even resulted in us repainting ALOT because I hated the colors DH chose! In the end I got to do everything my way and he's happy with the end result so I think he realized it's easier just to leave it up to me

Ditto for me. We have very similar taste so we usually agree. I have shown him over time that when I like something and he doesn't, he loves it in the end and he just didn't have the imagination or the same picture in his head as I did.

Re: Do you and DH/significant other "AGREE" on house ideas?
we don't really agree much when it comes to decorating our apt which is why it took us 3 months to buy a coffee table
I brought an old nightstand I had into the apt and I was going to put it in the den with a table cloth over it - he thought it would be better in the bedroom and we stood in the hallway - holding the heavy thing up - me on one end, him on the other pulling it both ways and arguing where it should go!
