Like you said,...A difficult situation for certain. Like you said, both ideas look nice. If it is really important to you talk with him. Find a way to compromise if there is one. The house is both of yours and you want to feel happy in your home. Maybe a really nice "please, honey" with a sweet look in your eye will do the trick??? :-) Really I have no good advice. We haven't redecorated since we bought our home many years ago - other than painting the kids' rooms :-) HugsTerpsichorehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13704408254742966076noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31522777.post-77399242215166036422019-06-01T23:36:56.056-04:002019-06-01T23:36:56.056-04:00Good luck on this one.

When it comes to decorating or paint colour a compromise must be found, we’re both living in it. Like you said, either way it will look beautiful!

It's been 28 years and we finally pulled up carpeting and put in wood floors, painted bedrooms and got a new bedroom set(actual matching furniture with drawers that have handles)! Yet we are still in the midst of a few sticking points. For example, I hate hate hate the big thing with the ugly bookshelves that we have our tv sitting on in the living room, and I desperately want new curtains in the bedroom that match the new paint and furniture. We are where you are - no change in sight because we cannot agree.

If I'm paying, I have my way. If he's paying, he has his way. If we're both willing to cough up the cash, then it's more of an issue, and usually means nothing gets done.

He will tell people, "Ella has these decorating visions."<br /><br />I am glad that you didn't tell us who wants the dark wood trim and who wants the light trim. That way my opinion isn't biased. If the kids were still little, I would stick with the dark trim just because it doesn't show scuffs and fingerprints. Since it is just you and Nick, I think the white trim will brighten up the room. Think about white wooden blinds instead of draperies too.<br /><br />Molly may not want to take sides on this question, but the girl has good taste. Ask her to help you, my friend.<br /><br />Hugs From Ella Ellahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04236225732606002291noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31522777.post-73143884324029998292019-05-28T08:54:41.391-04:002019-05-28T08:54:41.391-04:00I agree with Roz a tough one.
