Little R Has "Mermaid" Her Decision

Little R has been sleeping on the couch for quite a while now. It's not that we don't have a bed for her or the space. She transitioned to the couch when Little G woke her up a few nights in a row and just never transitioned back. It would be great for her to feel like she has her own place to go to. My husband and I plan on moving our bedroom upstairs this spring so I'm excited that we'll soon have a room for her to go to. She's already picked a theme for her soon-to-be room. Mermaids!

I'm not really the "character theme" type so I was thinking something along these lines. I'm in love with these little cards and the picture (both by Sea Urchin Studio). The bedding, I found online at Posh Tots,  is wonderful but waaaaaay out of the budget. I'll be making the bedding... maybe a little less pink though. I'm thinking teal and pink, rather than all pink.

We Have A Love-Hate Relationship

My husband and I, that is. We've been married now for nearly four and a half years and we've come to a point in our marriage where no compromises can be made. As sad as it is for me to say, he disagrees with some recent choices I've made and will not back down.

What is it that makes up this wall of separation... pillows! Big, puffy, yellow rose pillows (only one pictured). Normally, I make all of the decor decisions for the home but a recent purchase has my husband, who normally is amenable regarding such things, completely noncompliant. I think they're awesome. Bran thinks they're awful.  I think they looked great with the blue ruffle pillow (a previous purchase). Bran, not so much.

 

I even showed him the photo of this beautiful rug combo by FLOR but still no budging. In fact, he hated the rug too.

I guess we can't/won't always agree on everything. I appreciate his honesty though.
