Confusion in the Bedroom

So that title caught your eye!

Just this evening I was conversing with my husband about how important a catchy title was. He is writing a paper for school and is having difficulties deciding on what title to use. I told him that he needed to have a title that would pique the interest of the reader. Something that would give them a taste and leave them wanting more.

Anyway....

No, the confusion is about the bedroom, not in the bedroom! Although, because we were in the bedroom, I thought the title befitted the situation...lol :)

Okay, back on track here. So when you ask your mate (for the majority of my readers..all five of you...the gender of said mate is male and will be referred to as husband from now on), your husband, what colors he likes, do you get a blank stare in reply? If you ask him what he thinks about the stripes you just painted today, does he shrug and tell you "whatever you want to do"? Do you, after receiving little to no information on his likes and dislikes, feel extremely frustrated and not quite sure of yourself and your design as you did before?

Join the party!

I love my husband. He is my strength, my protector, my lover, my friend, my tickle-mate, my equilibrium, my safe spot, my risk-taker, my adventurer, my creative complement, my man of few words, my dependable, always available, handsome, sexy, full of integrity, masculine yet tender, powerful man. But his highly creative mind does not tread the domain of home decor. Alas, he can visualize a great pallet-board system to keep our firewood off of the ground, but he cannot visualize the DIY platform bed I want him to make for us. It's a good thing I can draw!

So I am left to my own devices...and HGTV. (Did you know that you can watch full episodes of Colorsplash, Myles of Style, etc? So for folk like me who cannot afford cable *sniff* and who still crave a shot of decorating inspiration, you can have your cake and eat it too!)

But, bless him, he knows that he doesn't know enough in this area and so he leaves it to me. I just hope he likes the end result!
