In our bedroom however, we both have a side. My side is more victorian/antique while on his side he has added his favorites, golf, John Wayne, and sports memorabilia. Our room may not show up in a home and garden magazine but we Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9186456.post-65634708021632233092007-09-04T07:08:00.000-07:002007-09-04T07:08:00.000-07:00I thought a couple comments my husband made many y...I thought a couple comments my husband made many years back about my decorating tastes would fit in here nicely.

I was trying to pick out some chairs and couldn't find anything that was just EXACTLY what I had in mind. I was looking for floral upholstery in beautiful shades of pinks, yellowsKimberlinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06513581671436131330noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9186456.post-53802962150509172742007-09-02T14:52:00.000-07:002007-09-02T14:52:00.000-07:00I posted pictures of my daughter's apartment a few...I posted pictures of my daughter's apartment a few entries back, and showed that she used a lot of white. she has four boys and a husband. It doesn't seem to make any difference in practicality. Her former residence had browns and showed just as much wear and tear. When I posted this, no one commented on the fact there was so much white. What I have found is that living in an area where it is Editorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03291943453934160969noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9186456.post-40873073839233450222007-09-02T13:27:00.000-07:002007-09-02T13:27:00.000-07:00In this day and age, fabrics and paints and other ...In this day and age, fabrics and paints and other finishes are practical even when they are white. Unless a person lives on a farm and tracks in mud from the path straight inside the door, white or any pastel will do just as well as brown or black. Most homes these days have porches or steps leading from concrete pathways, where a person will not track in dirt.

I think the most important thing to remember is that our homes are meant to be enjoyed, they are not a trophy to shine and look at. If men (and children) are allowed to be themselves and have "space", then I think they will appreciate the feminine touch in their homes. ~KristyAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9186456.post-66587299446651012912007-09-01T19:47:00.000-07:002007-09-01T19:47:00.000-07:00I often wonder what the husbands think about being...I often wonder what the husbands think about being surrounded by pink, florals, and pastels.
