His point of view...on design

My beautiful cousin Shelley over at Crazy Wonderful did a blog post asking her wonderful husband's opinion of some her favorite rooms she's found and pinned.  The husbands take on design is quite a funny one.  I had to join in.  

She was inpsired by Jessamie over at Bird and Branch Redesign.  I've had so much fun reading the other posts I had to try it.  Mostly because my husband never really says anything about what I do with the house.  The man helped me paint my kitchen pink after all.  He also needs help dressing himself occasionally.  Not in a bad way, but if we are going out he would prefer me to just pick out his clothes.  He just doesn't care.  


When we first started dating I came home one day and he was outside grilling and he was wearing my pink terry cloth 70s short shorts with white trim and platform foam flip-flops with no shirt on, a poker in one hand, flipping sausages.  Bestill my heart.  In his defense he came over to do yard work, got filthy, took a shower and put on the first thing he found that somewhat fit.  To paint the complete picture, my husband is 6'5 and about 250.  He doesn't care what people think and as long as he is comfortable he is happy.  

So here goes.  Jeff's take on design.
Oh hell no.

minakani walls - carpathes (also, that green daybed is lovely)via    Oh hell no...but I do like the divan because it looks like a bed.



love the feel of this space
I don't know what to say to that.  Although I do like the couch.  And I like that "thingy" on the wall.

(Laughing uncontrolably) Looks like a waiting room at a funeral parlor.

Wow.
Now that's pretty cool.  I could do that.

Love love looooove.  via
 I'd really be in on that too.

Is that an old tv?  Remember that tv we saw at the auction with the aquarium?  I wonder if that's it?       Reminds me of an old house...the table, the chairs.

fun couch!!via
(shaking head).  Too many different colors.  That would be an ideal girls room.

love everything!  Especially the coffee table.via That's pretty cool there.  The couch, the table, the chairs.  I really like the long couch.  

Linking up to Bird and Branch Redesign.  You really must check out the others.  They will put a smile on your face!

Do you think anyone would notice if I took my coffee pot and craft supplies and locked myself in my closet for a week so I could craft?  I can order pizza from inside to feed the monsters...they can already drink from the milk jug...I should be good right?

Woodgrain Fridge

Jeff and I have 2 mini fridges in our basement and a mini freezer.  I saw this on Delightfully Tacky today and love it!  I could have my own little collection of woodgrain contact paper fridges!

Bad Blogger

As one of my Resolutions, I am really going to try to update this regularly.  It's always in the forefront of my mind, but next thing you know I find myself in laundry, or catching up on my Y and R, or eating a box of cookies.  Yes, I watch it 5 days a week, and no I cannot have just one cookie, one box yes. 

As another resolution, I want to dive in on my laundry list of creative activities.  I found two online that totally inspired me.  I figure if put stuff out there...to my two readers...that's you Shelley and Jeremy, then maybe I will actually accomplish a little something, and become a little less self consious about this stuff.

I really want to do this map project for my kids room, but it also inspired me to make similar stuff using recycled materials.


I found both of these projects on one of my daily reads: http://abeautifulmess.typepad.com/my_weblog/


Next, I really am going to post pics from Stacey's wedding, and some pictures of the chalkboard wall I promised Shelley months ago.  But that will have to wait for another day!
