Our home is exactly that, our home a very eclectic mix of old, new , battered and bruised but much loved pieces and furniture …. Isn’t this how it should be ? I mean I do follow what’s hot and what’s not , I on occasion buy a house magazine …. but if you follow fashion your screwed right ? You could literally be changing your house ever shitting week … oh by the way did you know that white and grey marble are the next big thing for 2017 in wallpaper and shit … who knew ? I’ve had grey marble style tiles in my bathroom for a year … fuck I’m fashionable … I hate that !!! Just as well I still like my bathroom and soon I will no longer be fashionable … phew 😅 and guess what I will still love my bathroom !
At the end of the day it’s up to the people who live in the house…. thats bollocks it’s up to the person who does the decorating and obviously who has the most taste, which In my case is me 🙂 I do give my husband options to which he replies with “What’s wrong with what we have?” or simply just meh ! …. or the best one being Why ask … you will just do what you want anyway , which is actually bullshit because I do compromise 😂 you know on my own terms!!!! Anyway 95 % of the time he will say oh you chose well, like I didn’t actually know that !!! personally I think it’s just all an act and he doesn’t actually give that much of a fuck !!! He possibly longs for the days when I didn’t even mention decor , he had a day out in the pub and when he came back the kitchen or something had changed!!! to a man ( well my man ) this was probably a much simpler time, where he had no need for an opinion on wall colors , or there was no need for discussion … and even better no dreaded Sunday trip to the DIY shop !! To be fair I usually go myself , there is nothing worse than a miserable looking bastard, who constantly checks his phone for kick off time , walking slowly behind you muttering for fucks sake woman you said just paint !!!!
As for my children grrr when my older boys were little…. every time I was doing their rooms I would ask them what they would like ? Their rooms so their choice right ! We’ve had hand painted flames , skulls, motorbikes ,graffiti you name it I’ve done it to their design ! I did this for years:) any excuse really to decorate 😉 now I just get the oh you decide mum , you are better at that shit …. this makes me angry , “it’s your fucking room you decide” hoping their creative streak will be awoken once more but nah none of my kids like the creative ! So I do their rooms to how I think boys like there rooms …. and guess what I get ??? you guessed it Meh !!! I think I need to accept the fact that boys like their rooms smelly, with games consoles and possibly a mini fridge …. but most of all without their fucking mother in there moaning about their lack of creativity !!!! Much love ❤️ Jo
