I recently bought a custom leather covered Tele replica with the floral pattens like his and have wondered if it was Waylon's own design and when did he do it. It is the one of most famous and best looking Telecaster I've seen. I'm a long time Waylon fan and have read very little info on his guitar.
Does anyone know the origins of Waylon Jennings' famous guitar?
The only information I have read with regard to his leather guitar is that it was a 53 tele that was so beaten up from wear, that Ritchie Albright, (his drummer) took it and had it covered as a surprise gift for him. He got the idea from stories that Waylon had told about his friend, Buddy Holly having had his covered in leather to look like Elvis. He thought it would be a great idea because he loved his guitar and loved Buddy.. I don't know who did the design or the significance of the rose design but he had two with slightly different configurations in pattern.
Reply:i believe that guitar belonged to buddy holly, his friend.

Font issue for creating own sweatshirt?
I have a sweatshirt that I love dearly and I've basically worn it out. Since it was a custom-made item during a vacation, I am on my own to recreate the sweatshirt. There is also a trademark logo that stores would need special permission to use. I am fine with recreating the sweatshirt on my own but I am having a problem: the font. The problem is not the actual font name but the fact that it was a font that was filled in with a design. The design was a green Hawaiian floral one, and I can not seem to figure out how to recreate that part.
Does anyone know how I could recreate this? What I am really looking for is someplace that would have this design available as a fill-in. So far, I have only found solid color fill ins and not patterns. Any advice would be helpful.
Font issue for creating own sweatshirt?
Take a look at Custom Ink and see if you can design something similar. Perhaps you can pick a font that is open and paste some flowers inside and then fill in with color? Just play with it and see what you can come up with...

Hopefully you can create something that you will love! Best of luck.
Reply:You could put the shirt right down on a scanner and get the design into your computer, then reverse it and do an iron-on transfer for a new shirt. Or print it onto printer fabric and make a tote bag or pillow.
The original shirt can be cut and used as the front of a pillow or a quilt block, or even framed like a picture.
Many photo programs will allow you to do letters with a pattern in them, or transparent letters over a floral pattern, to get that font effect.

I want a tattoo, and looking for something in particular, need help...?
I want a tattoo, here are the following things to be included..
- "Mom" - and something relating to my mom, could be a neat heart or something really cool to represent someone who is my world...
- my two grandmothers names - I would like either a banner type design where I can place their names inside or some way to incorporate their names in the tattoo with "mom" (both grandmothers are deceased)
- I am a girl but do not want any really girly, cute design (such as a big floral scene), I like a neat and individual design..
I dont know what type of answers i can get with this but Just tossing out the question, maybe someone will know of a perfect design or point in the right direction..
This tattoo may go on left abdomen (lower left stomach area) ...
I'll post other details as time goes on if needed :)
Thanks!

Wanted to design and make my own wedding invitations. Was thinking of a vintage theme with a baroque floral patter.
Does anyone know where i can get ideas from?
Or knows of anyone where i can get them made?
I know how to use Adobe illustrator.
Just can't come up with a good idea.

http://www.paperdirect.com/Wedding+Invit...
They have a wide variety of paper that you can use to type up your own invitations.
Check out their wedding invitations area it has helpful templates etc.(or just to get IDEAS from).
They were one of the first, (if not the first) companies to give us something other than white paper to print out on.
When I used them years ago I was quite surprised at the quality of the product. You can order some to check out the quality for yourself.
Congratulation!! and Good Luck in Life and Love ;)

Wedding promblem?!?
MY theme for my wedding is going to be plae yellow and pale pink. I need lots of cake designs and decorations and floral arrangements to look at...can any of you help?
and maybe some favor ideas...
Wedding promblem?!?
I have a favor idea that many people wouldnt do. Instead of giving a gift to all the people that they will never look at again. You could make a donation to the cancer society or a charity of your choice in your wedding guest names. My cousin did thise at her wedding 2 weeks ago and i thought it was a great idea seeing how this benefits the people with cancer and other problems.
Reply:ooh, very pretty. My wedding is in October so i'm using all of the fall colors. One simple thing that helped me find what i was looking for, go to Yahoo homepage and at the top where it says images, type in wedding cakes or bouquets and it shows you a lot of pics. You can get an idea of what design you like and then just go from there to add your beautiful colors. Good luck and Congrats!!

you could burn Cd's of either pictures of you 2 or your favorite songs.....cookies shaped as wedding cakes or something that represents both of you.....set up a candy bar so your guest can take home some of your favorite candy.

Start with theknot.com, you can look at things by color. They have flowers, cakes, all sorts of things. Then look at brides.com and wedding channel.com. They also have alot of good ideas and plenty of photos.
As for favor ideas, I would start with exclusivelyweddings.com, they have lots of favors, decorations, toasting flutes, cake cutters, the whole works. For a cheaper place look at oriental trading.

Where can I find real simple comfortable( rayon type fabric) maternity dresses for last months. Cheap 15-20 $?

are you from the US?
Target actually has a few real nice ones %26amp; so does gapmaternity.com
Reply:Try the sales section at www.motherhood.com. I got a dress there for $16 (not including shipping and handling), and while it's stretch cotton and not rayon, it's completely comfortable! Just beware of the fabric you're looking for though...I tried one dress on like that and you could see my outtie belly button, lol. It looked like I had a belly button ring on under there.
Reply:I got one from Goody's. It was in the Junior's section, not maternity, but it's really flowy and comfy. It was $14.

Rate this tattoo :)?
i need peoples honest opinion i plan on getting this tattoo, just blue instead of yellow, on my shoulder. can u guys rate it 1-10...just wanna make sure its okay lol i dont wanna get it then decide against it
http://www.tattoojohnny.com/tattoo-desig...
Rate this tattoo :)?
nah it wont really go with the tattoo theme on my body. so when you are pressed against me we will look weird....lmao (joke)...
sorry,
i reckon about 7 out of 10, t looks very sweet, feminine, the yellow does t no justice, you would be right in going for blue or even blue with a little bit of pink in it.
Reply:I like the choice you made and I think shades of blue on it will look great. Also, the shape of the tattoo will suit your shoulder as it has the flowers on two different levels. Out of ten i would rate it a 7 or 8.
If you don't want to make a bad decision then maybe you could put it on as a temporary tattoo to see if it suits you before getting the real one. Hope everything turns out well.
Reply:I give it a 6 because it is beautiful, but it's still flash. I made that mistake like someone else who answered and have had a few people come up to me with the same tat. Imagine there are a few thousand with that tat already, not original at all.
Reply:Typical, unoriginal, not all that interesting looking...
I give it a 3.
I suppose I should also mention I am against using flash for tattoos. I made that mistake and I have had 4 people come up and tell me they have the same tattoo.
Reply:It's all right. If you're not sure, you shouldn't be getting it. Tattoos should have some kind of significance so that when you look at it in 20 or 50 years you'll still appreciate it.
Reply:id give it like a 9-10...i really like it..i think that its really cute. i hope that you decide to get it caus its a nice choice...u have really good taste in tattoos...i hope my opinion helps.

Reply:7 - cute and not too sweet, some floral tats are a little too pretty for my taste, but that has a bit of an edge to it.
Reply:hmm which one? Link goes to a list of a bunch of tattoos.
-- Oh, found it :) Well its nice but a tattoo, at least I think should be really meaningful. The flower seems pretty general.
Reply:4.5.. the flower is cute, I don't like the black on the sides of it though. It's too dark for the tattoo. It's ok.
Reply:wow thats freaking awsome !!!!!!!! great choice

its cute

Chelsea Flower Show?
What is the principle reason you would visit The RHS Chelsea Flower Show
a) to see garden designs and layouts?
b) to see the latest gardening products?
c) to witness the floral colour cascades and scents?
A general question from the Rainsmart team
Chelsea Flower Show?
I have visited Chelsea on several occasions and all of the above reasons apply but a) %26amp; b) more than c)
Reply:I have been to the Chelsea Flower Show and was so disappointed and will never waste my money again. We could hardly see a thing there were so many people and what is the point of going if you cannot go right into the garden designs and look up-close . Never look much good from a distance. Not just that after the Queen and her family, friends, servants, dogs etc have had their look the flowers have all started drooping and does not look at its best. No way's will i go to the Chelsea show again.
IGarden designs and layouts.
Witness the floral colour cascades and scents.
Latest gardening products.
Reply:I went to Chelsea 2006 and was very disappointed. I thought it was packed, expensive and elistist! Bits of the show kept closing so that the camera crews could have access, the people on the stalls were often too busy to give any information on cultural affairs and some of the gardens were so packed that they could never be appreciated. No, not for me. I went to Gardener's World Live at the NEC too in 2006 and 2007 - was better in 06 but merged with 3 other food shows in 07 to the detriment of gardeners. :-)

I need some general ideas please?
Sarah’s Flower Designs is a fledgling, home-based business in Madison, Wisconsin, consisting of three employees. Sarah, the owner, handles all of the floral arrangements. Her assistant, Mark, handles the purchasing of flowers, related materials, and takes telephone and walk-in orders from customers. Mark also keeps the financial and client records in order. Kim is the delivery driver and makes local deliveries to homes and businesses.
Sarah’s Flower Designs is looking to upgrade its computer system (an older model PC) to help keep up with the growing demand of their customers. They would like to house their client information and order histories on their new system, as well as bill their customers electronically. They also want Kim to have a way to keep track of customer addresses and specific delivery instructions while she is on the road. What IT recommendations would you make for Sarah’s Flower Designs?
I need some general ideas please?
She needs to consult an IT person to build her a kind of software to process the business as she wishes!! the software will facilitates the work by allowing clients to process their order on line. She will not need to stay on the phone for orders as everything will performed by the software!!
Good luck

Co-Ed wedding shower problems with the bride-to-be.?
I decided to have a wedding shower for my husband's cousin and his soon -to-be new wife. I let them know last year in October as soon as they announced their engagement that I wanted 2 have a co-ed shower for them. Problem is that NONE of the bride's family or girlfriends have planned any showers or parties for her and as a result the bride 2 be is wanting to invite ALL of her friends, family and everyone else in addition 2 the people that I had ALREADY planned to invite. I am related 2 the groom and do not know the bride or her friends.ALSO, no one else is offering to go in with me to be able to provide for the EXTRA guests or to go in and rent a banquet hall, since I had planned on hosting an at-home shower with about 30 people invited. I will be the sole one prepairing the food,decorations, designing the floral arrangements and everything in between. I feel very much taken advantaged of. Also, their shower date is in only a few short weeks away. Please guys,got any good advice 4 me?
Co-Ed wedding shower problems with the bride-to-be.?
As another mentioned, you need to advise the bride that you are hosting this shower in your home (be firm that no halls will be rented) and have a list of 30 people from your side of the family that you will be inviting. She just needs to advise her relatives that the shower you are throwing is only for the groom's family. If they wanted a shower for their family, then they can make arrangements for that shower.
Best wishes!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Edited to add: It really is a courtesy to ask the bride for a guest list, it's not a requirement. It's also customary in many families that each one hosts a shower for their side and it's a bit presumptuous of the bride to assume that she can invite her entire family to a shower being hosted by the groom's male cousin and his wife.
Seriously, the bridesmaids would normally host the shower for everyone else. I would probably mention this to the bride and let her discuss it with her friends and family.
Reply:I would get in touch with the bridesmaids, explain the situation, and hopefully they step up to the plate and pitch in. If not then I would explain to the B2B that while you appreciate her input, it's really poor etiquette on her part to have anything to do with the planning of a bridal shower.
Good luck!
Reply:You need to sit them down and tell them what your intention was when you offered -- 30 people, mostly the grooms family, in your home.
Ask if anyone else has mentioned hosting a shower for them and if they could put you in touch with that person to possibly share the costs because you simply cannot accomodate all those people at your home.
Reply:Well, I am sorry things are not working out well, but you offered to through a bridal shower. You are supposed to ask the bride and groom who they want to attend the party. It is THEIR party, not yours. It's time to start calling up friends and family and ask for their help.
Reply:I kind of feel you put your self in this position.
You need to take into consideration who the brides wants to have attend. If you feel like this is too much for you to do all alone then you need to voice what you can do, and anything above and beyound that ..you will need assistance with.
GOOD LUCK!
ps, i think it is kinda rude to assume you can just invite 'mostly' the grooms relatives.
Reply:If I was you, I would just be honest with her. It is customary for the hostess to ask for a guestlist from the bride, including names and addresses. I would ask her for a guestlist and I would explain that I have limited space and resources since I alone am hosting the shower, I am unable to accomodate more than 30 guests.
Another option is to contact the maid of honor and bridesmaids and ask if they would like to be co-hostesses. Since it is for both men and women, ask the groom's attendents, also.
Does your church have a "Fellowship Hall" or any kind of meeting rooms? If so, you may be able to use that rent free, then just provide the food and some flower arrangements for the tables.
the more people you involve, the more ideas you will have as well as money and (wo)man-power!!
Reply:Not everyone has, nor wants, loads of showers. As host, it is your responsibility to make sure the bride gives you a list of who she wants there. It is not your decision on who is allowed to attend. You can't invite your friends, just people on her list. If it is a space issue, tell the bride your home can fit a certain amount of people. So get the list, send out the invitations and organize this with the wedding party. As the host, you need to step up, get your can in gear and plan a great party for your cousin and his wife.
Reply:This is going to sound brideszilla-ish, and will probably get me thumbs down, but I don't care.
If my invite list for the shower didn't get taken into consideration, I would have been pissed and may have had the host cancel everything. What's the point if I can't be surrounded by the people I love?
Start calling around and find support from MOB, MOG, bridesmaids, groomsman (since it's co-ed). You can do it

Ask if anyone else has mentioned hosting a shower for them and if they could put you in touch with that person to possibly share the costs because you simply cannot accomodate all those people at your home.
Reply:Well, I am sorry things are not working out well, but you offered to through a bridal shower. You are supposed to ask the bride and groom who they want to attend the party. It is THEIR party, not yours. It's time to start calling up friends and family and ask for their help.
Reply:I kind of feel you put your self in this position.
You need to take into consideration who the brides wants to have attend. If you feel like this is too much for you to do all alone then you need to voice what you can do, and anything above and beyound that ..you will need assistance with.
GOOD LUCK!
ps, i think it is kinda rude to assume you can just invite 'mostly' the grooms relatives.
Reply:If I was you, I would just be honest with her. It is customary for the hostess to ask for a guestlist from the bride, including names and addresses. I would ask her for a guestlist and I would explain that I have limited space and resources since I alone am hosting the shower, I am unable to accomodate more than 30 guests.
Another option is to contact the maid of honor and bridesmaids and ask if they would like to be co-hostesses. Since it is for both men and women, ask the groom's attendents, also.
Does your church have a "Fellowship Hall" or any kind of meeting rooms? If so, you may be able to use that rent free, then just provide the food and some flower arrangements for the tables.
the more people you involve, the more ideas you will have as well as money and (wo)man-power!!
Reply:Not everyone has, nor wants, loads of showers. As host, it is your responsibility to make sure the bride gives you a list of who she wants there. It is not your decision on who is allowed to attend. You can't invite your friends, just people on her list. If it is a space issue, tell the bride your home can fit a certain amount of people. So get the list, send out the invitations and organize this with the wedding party. As the host, you need to step up, get your can in gear and plan a great party for your cousin and his wife.
Reply:This is going to sound brideszilla-ish, and will probably get me thumbs down, but I don't care.
If my invite list for the shower didn't get taken into consideration, I would have been pissed and may have had the host cancel everything. What's the point if I can't be surrounded by the people I love?
Start calling around and find support from MOB, MOG, bridesmaids, groomsman (since it's co-ed). You can do it
Can anybody tell me what she want to tell ?
Prepare the arrangement by pokeing the base end of a stick into the florist foam. The tricky part is to achieve the "floral bouquet" look. Try to imagine the fruits going up in a bouquet shape, with a pointed middle piece and with the bulk of the fruits layering out to the sides. Use your original; sketches and designs in this stage, but do not feel you have to follow them, follow your creative instincts first.

What do young plus-size girls think of their clothing options in 14+ stores or sections in department stores?
Around here, we basically have AE, Additionelle, Penningtons (all owned by the same company), and then plus-sized sections in regular department stores.
It seems that either the clothes are outrageously priced or designed for older women... clothes so hideous you wouldn't want to be caught dead in them (ie: floral prints). In the department stores, you feel like they pulled the 14+ selection from a yard sale.
There is the MXM line in AE, Addition-Elle, and Penningtons which is specifically for the younger women, and there are some really nice clothes... but who wants to pay $50 for a shirt? And aside from that line - nothing.
I just think that there is a market out there to be developed. I find it very difficult to find clothes I really like and there are few options for places to shop... especially without going broke!
I'm curious if this opinion is shared amongst other women who wear sizes 14+.
What do young plus-size girls think of their clothing options in 14+ stores or sections in department stores?
I totally agree...I feel that the majority of department who tries to target a plus sized audience doesnt make the greatest effort because it doesnt appeal to young curvy women. I struggle as a 18 year old who is comfortable with her size and wants to also look just as good as my skinnier thinner counterparts. The clothes that are cute and youthful looking, usually cost an arm and leg, me being a college student, I just dont have that money.
I think they need to cater to an audience who is plussize, wants to look good in cute AFFORDABLE clothes....because spending over 80 dollars for one outfit is just not that realistic to mainstream america.

Colorful hippie flower Myspace layout? Where can I find it?
I'm looking for a 1960s pop floral Myspace layout design for my car's website. LOL yes you heard right...I made Myspace sites for each of my cars, as an inside joke. One of my cars is a 1973 pastel blue Volkswagen Beetle...so I'd like to stick with a retro pop theme for "her" site. I checked out Myspacepimper.com but I didn't see something that was all that spectacular for what I'm looking for. Anyone have any suggestions? Thanks!

Unique white gold wedding band?
I'm having trouble finding a unique women's white gold wedding band. I'd like something that has an antique style or something with an etched design (maybe floral, with vines, or along those lines, but not celtic). Probably nothing with any diamonds or gemstones. It's got to be completely round, not one that will fit around the engagement ring, because I'll only be wearing the band to work once we get married. I'm hoping for under $500, but am willing to go a little higher because it is a once in a lifetime thing! Any ideas? Thanks!

I don't know how many grams of gold it takes to make a wedding band, but I watch this home shopping channel that has nothing but jewelry, and they usually quote the gram weight of the gold at anywhere between 3-7 grams. I don't know how many grams in an ounce, but I've heard the cost of gold is at an all time high--over $900, so I'm not sure if you'll be able to keep it under $500.
Reply:Lucky for you, floral, leaf pattern, and etched wedding bands are always a popular design in white gold. As a jeweler I can recommend you to a few manufacturers, for example, Benchmark has some great wedding bands, so type that into your web browser. Allison Kaufman also has great styles. Of course, once you get a name brand, you pay more. Try going to www.stuller.com, and see if it will let you browse the pictures. It's a jeweler's website, one that a lot of small jewelry stores use, they have some excelent hand engraved, hand woven, non celtic style wedding bands, and have great quality. Other than that, try searching Ostbye, as they are good too. Good luck, also, don't be afraid to go to your local independant jeweler, a lot of times they can do custom designs which would allow you to dream and get exactly what you want.

How do you get your husband to agree on decorating your way?
I'm into interior design and I desperately want to redo our bedroom and something more pastel. I want to do a lavender and yellow floral theme, since those were our wedding colors and also my two favortie colors but he said no! I was so disappointed about that. I don't see what the big deal is. I was thinking about doing it anyway when he goes out of town on his business trip at the end of the month, and then there would be nothing he could do about it. What do you think?
How do you get your husband to agree on decorating your way?
Look, my wife is an architect and the house is her hobby. As far as I am concerned, whatever she wants to do, she just goes and does it.
However, if you pull something like that on your husband, I will be able to hear the screaming arguments from here.
perhaps a mock-up or visual idea of what you hope to accomplish
Reply:I am going to side with your husband on this one. A shared space like a bedroom needs to reflect both people living there. Especially since it is a room that is so personal to a couple like a bedroom is. This is a project that you two need to plan and do together. I know women who went ahead and redecorated thier bedrooms the way they wanted with out consulting thier husbands. The rooms were turned into "estrogen zones" and the men felt uncomfortable in them. I'm talking lavenders and pinks here. FLorals aren't too big in male decorating either. You want your mate to be relaxed and comfortable in your shared bed so he wants to be there. Have some respect for his tastes too. Good Luck.
Reply:I think you are selfish for not considering his feelings. The theme you have chosen is too feminine for a man. I am sure you can come to some sort of compromise. It can't be all your way. If I was your husband and I went away %26amp; returned to find my bedroom decorated in a way that I had previously said I did not want, I would take everything out of that bedroom and burn it in the barbecue pit. I would make sure I took your credit cards away and clean out any bank account that you had access to. If you can't be responsible %26amp; respectful with the money you all share, you don't deserve to have any of it. How dare you be that disrespectful to the man who works everyday to pay the bills.
Reply:A very wise (and happily married) older woman once told me something about decorating bedrooms....and I will never forget it. She said that a woman can be very comfortable in a bedroom that is decorated in a masculine way, but a man will NEVER be comfortable in a bedroom that is decorated in a feminine way.
Makes a LOT of sense to me when you think about it. Try for more masculine, with some little feminine touches that express both of you. After all, the bedroom SHOULD be a domain where you can BOTH be happy. Have a female lavender and yellow space somewhere else (kitchen, lanai, bathroom, study...) where you spend more time alone than you do with him.
Reply:If you want something than you gotta give up something. Does your husband have a room of his own? A sports room? Or a computer room? Or the garage? I would suggest that you propose it like this: You give me our bedroom and I'll give you another room in the house that you can decorate as you see fit.
Give him a "man zone" you know? Let him hang up sports posters. Obviously if its in the house, you might not want him hanging up girlie posters, but remember the old truism: You give a little to get a little.
Reply:I think any man would object to such a feminine bedroom. You need to consider his taste as well, even though you are disappointed.
I don't know how long you have been married, but this is a big deal. Try to come up with another idea that would be more suitable for an adult couple.
After all, you're not a child anymore and not a young woman planning her wedding. Break the habit and go in an entirely new
direction. You said you are into interior design, so I know you can do much more.
Reply:Lavender and yellow floral would make me sick. I can't imagine a man liking it. What ever you do, don't go behind his back. You'll be sleeping in that frilly room alone.
Reply:hon, I just can't blame him...this is a very girly theme, and very few men are going to be crazy about it. I hate flowers, and despise lavender...surely there are themes you can both agree on. AND if you are going to sell that house before a redo of the bedroom, I suggest that you consider more neutral or masculine themes...everyone likes neutral or masculine, but themes that are highly feminine are more for little girl's rooms than adults. Just my opinion. He has to spend time there to, and if you make it SEXY for him, you will end up the winner, I can promise you that. IF you go aobut decorating something in a theme that he has stated he does not like while out of town, you need to rethink your position on marriage! IF my mate did this, there would be hell to pay, and a decorator would be paid also, one that doesn't involve you in the decor. I am not being harsh here, I am suggesting that this is a common room to both of you. If you are really stuck on this, then do a guest bedroom this way, but NOT the master bedroom. Very bad idea. Good luck
Reply:I think ''you compromise''...that is what marriage is about....even about decoration. Lavender and yellow?...what's next, you're gonna have a flower theme in your bathroom? I think you're acting like a little girl.
Reply:I did it two years ago, he was out of country for two weeks and I renovated the social bathroom! It is so beautiful now!
But it almost cost my marriage. He did not speak to me for two weeks.
Now, he helps me to clean it and most of the time while in the shower, he washes the glass doors.
And this year I renovated the one in our suite, and when he came back from his trip, he said: Hum, Looks nice.
Hope, if you decide to do it, he will accept and enjoy it too.
All my friends husband told me they wish, they come back from their trip and their wife have done what I did.
Spend the money where I spent, instead of shoes, clothes and etc.
Reply:I think pastel colors are too feminine looking for males.I would try to go with something that was unisex.They may be YOUR favorite colors but not his. It is his room too. How would you like to sleep in a bedroom that was overly masculine looking? Don't redo the room when he is out of town.You already know that he doesn't like the idea so why would you even think of doing it? That is just asking for trouble.Try to come up with something else that both of you can agree on.

Reply:I wouldn't recommend going behind his back when he has said a definite "no". My husband couldn't care less what colors I decorate in. He has more important things to worry about. I suppose that if he came home to a bedroom that was decked out in pink he may have something to say.
Reply:Oh Geezzzzzzzzzzzzzz I've been throught that! Please. It's the womans place to decorate. It's the mans job to follow her around and say it looks beautiful honey!! Tell him to get over it.
Reply:Yeah, you should have married a girl. My husband and I chose our decor together, it is very tasteful, but does not look like a princess' castle. You have to give a little here.
Doing that behind his back is not cool, what kind of marriage do you even have. Clue....it is supposed to be a partnership.
Reply:Men just aren't crazy about flowers.. Is there some other theme that reflects both of your tastes?
Reply:I am also into interior decorating but I try hard to incorporate my fiances ideas and opinions. i think a man feels somewhat de-masculated when he is sleeping in a pastel floral bedroom.
I suggest sitting down with him and having him help you pick paint colors, maybe yello for the walls and minimal flowers will help him feel more masculine.
Dont redo it while he is gone, he will think you have zero regard for his opinions.
Reply:The better choice would be to find something you both agree on and like. I would NEVER decorate our room in flowers because I know my husband wouldn't like it. Perhaps you can decorate the guest bedroom with those colors.
Reply:He told you no and he has at least 1/2 a say in this matter. So you willingly do something to piss him off, is that it? The matter should be at least settled first. You didn't say if you work. If you don't, he is entitled to a bit more respect as you are using his money.
Usually men don't care about what their wives do in the house but I guess everybody has a tolerance. He sleeps in the bedroom and if you choose something he really hates, he goes sleep somewhere else and then what? Whose fault will it be?
You still live like playing in a sandbox
Reply:If it was me i would do it anyway, but then my hubby doesnt care what i do as long as he doesnt have to help.
It depends on how you think your hubby will react if you know his going to flip his lid, ask him for ideas and see if you can meet eachother half way.
I dont know your hubby. Your the one that has to live with him, and his mood if he hates what you have done!
Good Luck

good makeup
How do you get your husband to agree on decorating your way?
Look, my wife is an architect and the house is her hobby. As far as I am concerned, whatever she wants to do, she just goes and does it.
However, if you pull something like that on your husband, I will be able to hear the screaming arguments from here.
perhaps a mock-up or visual idea of what you hope to accomplish
Reply:I am going to side with your husband on this one. A shared space like a bedroom needs to reflect both people living there. Especially since it is a room that is so personal to a couple like a bedroom is. This is a project that you two need to plan and do together. I know women who went ahead and redecorated thier bedrooms the way they wanted with out consulting thier husbands. The rooms were turned into "estrogen zones" and the men felt uncomfortable in them. I'm talking lavenders and pinks here. FLorals aren't too big in male decorating either. You want your mate to be relaxed and comfortable in your shared bed so he wants to be there. Have some respect for his tastes too. Good Luck.
Reply:I think you are selfish for not considering his feelings. The theme you have chosen is too feminine for a man. I am sure you can come to some sort of compromise. It can't be all your way. If I was your husband and I went away %26amp; returned to find my bedroom decorated in a way that I had previously said I did not want, I would take everything out of that bedroom and burn it in the barbecue pit. I would make sure I took your credit cards away and clean out any bank account that you had access to. If you can't be responsible %26amp; respectful with the money you all share, you don't deserve to have any of it. How dare you be that disrespectful to the man who works everyday to pay the bills.
Reply:A very wise (and happily married) older woman once told me something about decorating bedrooms....and I will never forget it. She said that a woman can be very comfortable in a bedroom that is decorated in a masculine way, but a man will NEVER be comfortable in a bedroom that is decorated in a feminine way.
Makes a LOT of sense to me when you think about it. Try for more masculine, with some little feminine touches that express both of you. After all, the bedroom SHOULD be a domain where you can BOTH be happy. Have a female lavender and yellow space somewhere else (kitchen, lanai, bathroom, study...) where you spend more time alone than you do with him.
Reply:If you want something than you gotta give up something. Does your husband have a room of his own? A sports room? Or a computer room? Or the garage? I would suggest that you propose it like this: You give me our bedroom and I'll give you another room in the house that you can decorate as you see fit.
Give him a "man zone" you know? Let him hang up sports posters. Obviously if its in the house, you might not want him hanging up girlie posters, but remember the old truism: You give a little to get a little.
