I have a secret. Ok, it's not really a secret. More like an.... issue. You see, I have stained trim throughout my house. I don't have the typical gorgeous house with white trim, greige walls and white slipcovered furniture. In fact, I have everything the way you are not suppose to have it. I have white walls, golden oak trim.....everywhere. I even have matching leather couch and loveseat. I know.... the horror. OH! Even worse.....they RECLINE!!! All of our furniture is big, mostly brown, and there is a lot of wood in our house. We apparently like oak, and recliners and maybe even dead animals. I forgot to mention that a deer head is going to be joining our decor soon.
You see. I LOVE MY HUSBAND!!!! I am so blessed to have him. As much as I would love to paint over my trim and buy the white slipcovered couches, I know that my husband would NOT enjoy that. As much as I would like to think that since I am home more than anyone else and that I am the one taking care of this house, therefore, I should get to make ALL the decorating decisions pertaining to it, I know that my husband works really hard to provide this house for me and our kids. As much as I love those houses with the white trim, white couches and greige walls..... I love my husband more.
So, the next time you are thinking it is YOUR house and you are going to do whatever you want with it, think about the joy your husband will have when you tell him he can stuff his prize buck head and hang it in the house. Trust me..... his reaction will be priceless:)
