I’ve lived through too many home design disagreements with my own spouse that I’ve lost count. But we've learned a lot of valuable information along the way.
We've become too familiar with the dynamic between couples that we've seen on HGTV and other home remodeling networks.
She Says: “Oh no, you installed that cabinet too low.”
He Says: “But this is how you’re supposed to install it.”
She Says: “But that’s not my vision. My vision is (insert creative idea here).”
and He responds, “Okay, I’ll fix it, I love you.”
Now let's take a pause for a reality check.
Let me tell you about how things typically go around my Portland, OR house.
I say: “Oh no, you installed that cabinet too low.”
He says: “But this is how you’re supposed to install it.”
I say: "But I explained to you my vision. Don't you remember?"
He says: "Yeah, but a vision doesn't show me how to do something, I'm not a mind reader..."
And then the big disagreement commences, the project stops and you will find two grumpy people staring at an unfinished project for days!
In my work I’ve witnessed a lot of home reno disagreements between couples and not to mention I’ve lived through too many home design disagreements with my own spouse that I’ve lost count.
