9. Wood panelling! Looking good, friend!
Don't forget some "rich corinthian leather" and a one of those Zebra print porno rugs.

2. Actual sign in my local paint dealer's store
"Husbands picking out paint color must have note from wife."

Words of wisdom, if you ask me. :D

4. Yep.
I spent 10 years as an interior designer. Does my wife trust me in making any of the decorating decisions? Nope.

Sheez, I feel lucky if she asks my opinion....

5. a friend of mine who's color blind
painted most of his house bright orange,
cause it looked brown to him.

His wife is a saint.

6. I voted for Robb is a dingbat - just because I could.
But I am a man, and I live alone - so if I don't decorate, no one will. :shrug:

7. Great minds...that why I voted that way as well.
I really have no idea if Robb is a dingbat, but it was fun to vote that way. I am a woman...and I have a hard time decorating. A box of cheerios on the counter is a decoration in my home. ;)

8. Disturbing trend...

12. Some men perhaps
However, if it were up to my spouse, the house would be plastered with Yankees and Led Zepplin posters everywhere. Sorry dear, no, you have no say in decorating.

13. Only happened once,
but after I redecorated the bathroom in old railway lamps, shortwave radios, Ed Wood movie posters and rainbow wallpaper it became very clear to even me that I lacked the esthetics gene. BTW, if anyone needs 50 gross of 1” Diameter Kelly Green sequins I’m selling them on E-bay, they were to slippery for floor tile.
