So Babe….tell me how you really feel

I am taking a departure from the usual decorating, design, kids and donkey stories to bring you a rather enlightening and fun post today……fun interview with my husband on blogging and decorating.

This idea started with a few pals who wanted to know how their husbands really felt about projects, decorating etc and thought it would be fun to get some others involved. So when you are done reading  the fun interview with my husband about blogging and decorating…..and how he really feels about my projects, you will want to visit some other interviews. The links will be at the end of the post.

The last time I so called ‘interviewed’ my hubby, was right before we walked down the aisle.  You know, those last minute questions to make sure he was the one. Well …. he passed and 16 years later, he’s still the one, so lets start this fun interview with my husband about blogging and decorating.

 What is your favorite project  Laura  has done, and why? I like them all but I think  planking the ceiling in the family room ranks high up there. It is our most recent project and  something that we both worked on from start to finish. I loved it since it was something that we both did together. We hold hands sitting on the couch staring at the ceiling.

What is your least favorite, and why? Not sure I have a least favorite..can i say that?
 
 What is the one creative item or tool that  Laura cannot live without? Without a doubt a paint brush
 
 What is your biggest pet peeve about  Laura  in the real world or the project and decorating realm?
suggesting to paint over anything wood. I cringe every time.
 
If you could take Laura on a vacation anywhere, where would she want to go? The beach, specifically anywhere in the Caribbean
 
 Laura finds $100.  What does she do with it? Spends it on the kids and if she has any left over, a gallon of paint.
 
What is YOUR favorite room in your house and why? I have 2, the kitchen and family room. It’s where the family spends the most time…together.

Creativity is messy, but for the most part blogs show the pretty picture.  Can you tell us how Laura is a secret slob? Honestly , I can’t give up any dirt here ( no pun intended) she is typically neat and organized. Always has been.
Name a project or decorating adventure that you thought would be a flop but was fabulous?   The kitchen. Suggesting to paint over the stained wood took some time to get use to. When she finally talked me into it and we did it, I was reluctant to tell her how good it looked at first, besides she can’t be right all the time.

Blogging takes a lot of time.  Do you ever pass by  Laura while she is on the computer and secretly feel neglected? Never
 Before, during, and after photos are an important part of blogging, do you remember to do that while working on projects for Laura?  Funny, there have been a number of times that I have just started a project for her like cutting a piece of wood and she will run out telling me to stop until she gets her camera. Now, I just kinda expect it to happen.How often do you read  Laura’s blog and do you have a favorite post? I usually read when something new goes up. I particularly like the posts with the kids or animals in it. Can’t pick a favorite.


Before changing a piece of furniture, hanging new curtains, or planning a whole room redo, does Laura consult you or do you come home and it’s done? Um, not really. But I guess it depends on what it is. One time I came home and the wood mantel was painted white. Should have known something was up when she was standing next to it asking “notice anything different”.  I think she kinda knew how I would react if she asked me about painting it, so she decided just to do it. It actually came out nice. I don’t really question her decorating decisions. She’s in charge.

Does Laura discuss her blog with you,  stories from other blogs or friendships with other bloggers?

I love hearing her stories. I feel like I know her blogging pals as well as she does. What’s weird is not knowing people by their first name and rather by their blogging names.Where do you think  Laura gets most of her creative inspiration; tv, magazines, online, you, or was she just born that way? Definitely in her DNA

Do you know what Pantone’s color of the year is and how do you feel about so called “girly” colors for your walls? Okay what’s pantone and is there really a color of the year? What is it?

If you could change one room or area of your home with no decorating advice from Laura, what area would you choose and why? I think the garage and painting the floor the way I want to do it.

Have you ever helped  Laura style photos for her blog or offer input on how you think a vignette should look?   What in the world is a vignette?There is a saying “If walls could talk…”, what would yours say about the decorating in your bedroom? What happens in the bedroom, stays in the bedroom.

  1. That was perfect, I loved reading his responses. What is a vignette? hilarious. When I got to the question about the bedroom, and his response, I said Good answer, then I saw you felt the same way. Your right he is a keeper.
    Thanks for sharing this, it made me smile.

  2. Can I hate you for being so neat and tidy? Sounds like you found the perfect husband, he just needs to get over that painting real wood thing 😉 love all the answers and I can't wait to meet him!

  3. I love how after a bit… they resign themselves to the fact that we are going to pretty much paint, make, do whatever we like and that we are happy, so they are okay with it :))) And that so far, you are the only one who would spend the money on the kids. hahaha – So fun, really enjoyed the read!!

  4. Love this, Laura! Your husband is a gem!! Handy and thoughtful and he gives you a lot of creative space. And he READS your blog!! He needs to have a serious talk with my hubby!

    Loved seeing pics of your home that I hadn't seen before. And your new sidebar picture is beautiful! 🙂

  5. This is great! I especially loved the answer to the first question – the mental picture of you guys sitting holding hands and admiring the ceiling is just perfect 🙂

  6. your husband sounds like a real keeper! His answers are super, what a fun post! My husband has to be in the mood to do anything and I have to wait for the right timing. He's a CPA, need I say more?

  7. I loved this interview!!!….I can only imagine what my hubby would say!…He for the very first time made a comment on my blog the other day….I was knocked off my chair!!!….I think my hubby would have said the same thing about Pantone…what's that?…A shampoo?

  8. I love reading your blog! I have had the same Broyhill bedroom set!!! The beds (one Q then the K upgrade) are gone and I gave one dresser to a friend. I still have the big dresser and a mirror that I want to do something fun with when I have time. Most of my home projects either never get all done or take a loooong time to finish!

  9. Very fun. Your husband seems like a really sweet guy who loves you immeasurably! 🙂 This post just made me smile. Thanks, Laura.
    Warmly,

  10. I left a witty comment this morning and it disappeared right in front of me and my computer had a spinny wheel the rest of the day. I only remember part of it and it had to do with more donkey.
