LOL!!
My fiancee is the same way. He won’t be interested or seem to care until at some random time, when he’ll express an opinion like your husband did.
I was wanting to re-paint our bedroom to make it more neutral – I was thinking whites/ivories/creams/khakis…. but when I tell him, he says,”But the blue has kind of grown on me. And it ties in with my grandmother’s painting.” This, coming from the man who when we moved in wanted to know what was wrong with plain white walls…. ;-)

It’s funny how sometimes you think your husband is just not at all interested in home furnishings/design/color, etc. Then they pipe up with an opinion! I want to paint our dining room/living room to jazz it up (it’s beige – ugh!) but our accents (curtains, lampshades) are all burgundy. The other day my husband, out of the blue, says, “You know, burgundy is really rather dated.” I almost fell off my chair – LOL!

Nicole,

It’s been a pleasure reading your blog. I just found it and it’s making me antsy to decorate my own apartment. My husband and I are moving to Chicago at the end of the year and I cannot wait. This blog is a real inspiration to get my act together and start thinking about finding a real style for our place.

I have to agree with your husand. I think the yellow does tie a lot of the colors together. But I do know the feeling of wanting to redecorate or change something and buy someone new or different. Can you compromize and put studs on the yellow curtains? :)

Wow- he is paying attention, and knows what a dressmaker dummy is?! Love the curtains- West Elm is getting a lot of play these days- it was highlighted over on Real Simple by Holly.
