It's SUCH a handsome room now and it blew me up laughing and nodding along about the change-resistant man. I bow before you for your courage and him for digging the positive changes. I really appreciate seeing how much good stuff you could do with stuff you have plus a bit extra. Like, this room just looks like real life but with thoughtfulness and careful work - it's really sharp.

Aww, thank you! You know the struggle is real! I'm telling you--he did NOT want me touching this room. But I was like, "Dude, it's THE messiest room in the house, and it needs to get done." He really appreciated it when I was done. I think he just didn't have my vision. I don't think I even had a vision, because I was limited in what he would allow me to do (I wanted to make a DIY desk but he was adamantly against that. LOL). But in the end, it all came together nicely!! Thank you, so glad you like it!

That's how I originally moved it, but hubby was complaining so much, that I finally moved it back into position that was similar to what he had before. Plus, it's position it's in now allows him to glance out the window more easily. As you can see, he was resistant to change. 😂

He appreciates your comment! He is THE single most private person I know. So for me to post his space like this, with him in the video, he was stretching himself in ways he doesn't usually. And humble, yes! He's such a good man who takes nothing for granted. I've got a good one! Thank you for your insight, Anna!
