Spouse v. House...

...THE WORST PREMISE FOR A SHOW IN THE HISTORY OF TV.  Please tell me somebody else has seen this show?!  Let me tell you about it.  The show finds a couple that is wanting to renovate a few rooms of their home- I can only imagine the discussion with those must-be deceptive producers- "Hey want to be on our new awesome home reno show?"  I mean, sure!  Why not!  Oh I'll tell you why not.  Because in the middle of the initial on camera interview the couple is told that the wife will be moving out for 3 weeks while her husband does the renovating and decorating without her input.  So, while she is gone she creates her dream room with a designer and the husband has the opportunity to see it and choice buy things out of it with his budget- did you see the word choice?  Yes, another opportunity for let down.  So the wife sees her dream space right in front of her and then goes home to find a let down of a reno and the realization that her husband declined to include anything that she liked. I'm not joking.  Now let me interject on my own monologue here to say that Karl has immaculate and wonderful taste in decorating.  Not only that but I'm pretty sure he could build, plumb, and wire a house from the ground up by himself- he knows how to do everything.  He and I share very similar opinion in home decorating.  So, in theory I guess I would trust him in this situation but no.  I wouldn't.  This is a horrible idea.  What an awesome way to create a rift between a couple.  I mean, without compromise and discussion and agreement how on earth is one spouse suppose to make every decision as if two were apart of it??  Needless to say the one episode I have seen ended in a graffiti mural, urinal installation, and the husband reverting back to his old smoking habit.  Well, bye $25,000, opportunity to renovate and make your dreams come true together, and hello wine fridge for the wife that doesn't drink wine. So, you're welcome for the review.

Don't say I didn't warn you.

Realizing how many posts I've had lately sans pictures.  My apologies.  Karl & I have had the most mundane few weeks with no pictures to show for it and I insist I continue documenting our lives.  So there ya have it.
