Chris Says….

I am participating in “Bring Your Plus One” over at Bird and Branch Redesign.  I showed Chris a series of some of my favorite design images and had him comment on them.

adorable kitchen nook!
Via

Chris: Fear the deer.  There is a deer staring at you while you eat breakfast.  It’s a little creepy.

Crisp and clean
Via
Chris: I like it but the walls could use more.
multi-color chairs add a pop of color
Via
Chris: Wow. (not in a good tone) Well, I like the floors.
pink- love it in this room!
Via
This color isn’t nearly as bad as the one before.  I like that color pop. (Insert my shock at his like for the pink table here).  I like the chest, too.
Fiddle leaf fig tree
Via
Chris: The only thing I don’t like is the frame.
Me: I really like that rug  (trying to draw more out of him).
Chris: Eh, it’s ok.

Rustic Dinning room with aqua chairs
Via
Chris: It’s not a good camera shot.  I mean, I like it.  The chairs don’t look comfortable though.

@housetohome.co.uk #bedroom #gray
Via
Chris: No thanks.  I mean, really. (Insert my sad face here) I don’t like that room.

Dining room
Via
Chris: Oh my God!  I thought the first deer was worse.  No other comments- I can’t get past the deer.

aqua love
Via
Chris: Well I know what you like about this room.
Me: What?
Chris: The chandelier.
Me: Yes, and the color.
Chris: I like the faucet.  I would ditch the rug.

quilt & florals. love the pops of color.
Via
Wow.  The pillows are bright and the quilt is way too busy.  It’s just too busy on the bed. (Insert snarky laugh from me.)
Me: Bow chicka bow bow.

    Oh our hubbies….what they will do for us! Did he squirm the whole time? I think mine would have. This party is an absolute hoot, wish my guy was in town to participate!

    Well that was a good chuckle to start my morning, thanks! and good luck with the “deer issue” 😉 I will confirm that Chris is correct, those {mint green painted chairs) are uncomfortable, I used to have some.

    Funny post. Always love the contrast in thought between spouses. Fortunately, 10 year on and mine is learning to just go with what I want. Thanks for sharing, liz

    This is too funny! Clearly you need to forget about putting a deer on the wall! Boys are funny creatures, just when you think you know just what they say, they surprise you!

    That is so funny! Especially the one that starts ‘WOW’, with coloured chairs and the red industrial lights. That is SO my husband… long delay while he finds something he likes, and then it’s usually the tiniest thing there.

    I never got around to do doing this (what else is new) but after reading Chris’s comments I’m going to gather some pics just to see what my hubs has to say. Lets hope his language isn’t as colorful as the pics I choose!

    And I’m with Chris on the deers. Cutesy fawn/deers cute, big ol’ stags…not so much.

    Isn’t it so funny the things they notice (and don’t notice)? Looks like you won’t be buying any giant deer heads anytime soon!

    I’m so glad somebody else had a husband that was short and to-the-point about his thoughts, aahaha! These really are great! And it looks like you could probably sneak in a pink table now. “See Honey, you said you liked it here!”

    HAHA!!! I literally sitting at my desk at work cracking up. I LOVE Chris… is it weird that I think you and me and our hubby’s should double date?? I know we would all be besties. Ok, i know… that sounds slightly stalkerish.

    I love the “fear the deer”. It’s funny how you were trying to get your husband to say more. It was the opposite with me. I had no idea my husband would be writing paragraphs. Who knew?

    Lol on the busy quilt comment! I amazed you got your husband to HAVE an opinion on a space that he is not living in. This is how it would go at our house: me: I love this space, the colors are gorgeous. Mark: if you say so, it all looks the same to me……..

    haha! I agreed with him on most of them. I’m not a huge fan of pink or deer heads. Although I do love the smallish all-white ones. They don’t look nearly as creepy.

    Ray and Chris would hit it off perfectly. Our plan for a weekend of fun will be perfect. Wine and sushi for all of us…the boys can discuss their thoughts on decor and crafting and we can have a blast 😉

    Miss you. Hope all is well!
