I Wanted To Surprise My Wife With Furniture But…

What will Jami think of the new living room set?

[@michelleh9685]

Dogs have masters & cats have servants

[@TracyH007]

That's exactly right😊👍🏼

[@susansollee1839]

LOL LOL, you are so right !!!!

[@cindyogden6199]

That's so true!! 🐈‍⬛️

[@nancyhebert9042]

You are so right 👍 my cat treats me like I'm beneath her until it's time to eat 😂

[@traceya10440]

Too true!😂

[@vickidolph1581]

Cracking up at Mr. Hank!!! He was giving his stamp of approval! I just love his personality and that gorgeous, big, fluffy tail!!!😊

[@morganalori]

I love that he was moving in on the new furniture before it's even put together. lol "fur"niture.... Of course Mr Hank is gonna make sure there's fur, it's in the name! he's just fixing the lack

[@milkweed697]

The color is absolutely perfect! It doesnt clash at all! It's what everyone is doing!

[@vickibwarren9722]

I agree I love the color

[@eleanormassaro5195]

The color looks great on it!

[@nissalum3277]

The color is great 😊

[@PamJ24]

Lester, whenever I buy furniture I get swatches and put them in the cat beds to see which one shows the least amount of fluff. Hank matches it perfectly so well done!

[@kimberlylynch7642]

What's is wrong with people .... that's Hanks Home he does what he wants and we love him for it!😂🐺

[@terrireddish2522]

Anyone who owns a cat knows cats will go and lay wherever they want including kitchen worktop and tables lol😂

[@MelissaDavis-y4y]

Because the couch isn’t just a flat color, it has texture, it picks up many colors. I would have gone with the same color. It’s a good base color for the rest of the room to feed off of.

[@emerald523]

They're all neutral colors. You did good.

[@PegWinslow]

I think you did a really good job, picking and matching. If my husband did this independently, I would be so happy, it wouldn't even matter.

[@barbaradavis4867]

Cats are always the boss!! Nice choice!! Jami will definitely approve!!

[@angelagreene581]

Lester, love is an action verb, and you ALWAYS ♥️ Jami. I am in my mid❤-60's, and my husband died years ago. Continue to show Jami how much you love and appreciate her. The 2 of you are blessed to have each other.

[@dawnmcdonald1867]

I think you made an excellent choice. You were awfully brave to take this responsibility on your own. 😂

[@lorrieannhazelwood8516]

I would agree. I would have to go shopping with my better half. Not let him do it. I see it as major in house purchase definitely do it together. All that matters is what Jami thinks at this point and I definitely would of gone to the place across the street. She is a slick salesperson but you could of worked it in your favor by mentioning that. Just saying. 😊

[@mendi1161]

You know why Jami will love it…because she can finally sit down. She said she wouldn’t sit on the old furniture, so it’s a win in that alone. 😊. Besides, it’s Mr. Hank approved.

[@lisaldfstars]

Lester, life is way too short to put so much worry into everything having to be matching!! The bigger factors are whether it was a good price, whether it’s comfortable, if it fits your layout, but most importantly if YOU and JAMI like it. I love it. I think it looks great in that space and would rather my home have a ‘lived-in’ feel instead of a ‘showroom’ feel, if that makes sense. ❤

[@deed5811]

Neutral colors go with everything :)

[@lisaldfstars]

@@deed5811 And even if you want a splash of color, go for it! Enjoy it!

[@E.o.t.4637]

Dogs have MASTERS... Cats have SERVANTS! I think the color is great! You can never go wrong with grey. When you get down to it, the only opinion that matters is Mr. Hank. Lester you know this! lol

[@suethompson9481]

I love you, Trixie. You are not alone. There are a lot of us who have a little leaking problem also. 😁❤

[@rachelcarter5282]

That’s the truth 😢

[@Norunormii]

Our girl has that problem too and she gets propalin for that. No more leaking.

[@amyfitch3005]

Exactly! And I still sit on the furniture.

[@rondamullins8927]

Amen to that😂

[@cathymarrone9523]

@@Norunormii my girl got Proin helped Emma I suggested that to them awhile ago to look into it with Dr Cochran

[@nataliemorris-f9b]

mr hank is an adorable bundle of fluff, love the couch, colour scheme and everything about it, cant wait to see Jami's reaction to it, you did a kind thing lester

[@christinespry7150]

I really love the colour and I think it compliments the room. Recliners are always a bonus .

[@kathysmith266]

The color is perfect, and I bet Jami will love them! It's been approved by Mr Hank.

[@joannray3546]

One thing I would add to bring it all together is an area rug with all colors. Otherwise it looks comfortable. Good job Lester.

[@debbiec5661]

I just said the same lol

[@debbiec5661]

And Jami can look on Wayfair for one..fast delivery also!

[@marywilson1442]

They have too many dogs and cats for a regular area rug. Maybe one of those for outdoors that they can take out and hang over the fence and pressure wash...

[@Catherder52]

@@marywilson1442. There are area rugs now that are machine washable. If Jami’s washer has a large capacity, keeping it clean would not be so much of a problem.

[@marypullin9865]

I don’t think it clashes, it blends!

[@Sharon-f3w]

Mr. Hank is so beautiful! He's an awesome guy!

[@ceceliahenderson6391]

I was going to say the same thing yes he is

[@bestofflorida7650]

Poor Trixie. Hank is a great cat. As we get older things happen.

[@jessgunn6639]

Lester "the dogs will not be on the furniture" lets start a pool! I'm giving it 3weeks! Lmao

[@LynnBartlett-un2vp]

Ill take 2 days. Ive been there, said that and faiked . lol.

[@tmack485]

I say only 24 hours. Who can say no to Stella or Christmas?

[@carolinemarshall4650]

Overnight the dogs will see Mr hank n do the same,

[@cherylfraijo3306]

I say 10 hours

[@80carolegriffin]

Less than a day

[@morganalori]

The color is good. the grey is a nice warm neutral that works with that wall and pulls the mid greys out of the counter and chairs, and that coffee table works great. LOL, the grey works great with Mr Hank too!! Even matches the Skull on the fireplace. Recliners are so comfy, and the ability to plug your phone in while doom scrolling the comments is a bonus. And honestly, as long as Mr Hank approves, whose gonna go against him? He IS the boss. I like that the two of you will be comfortable when you watch TV together and everybody gets a recliner. You did good Lester.

[@annalle4523]

I think your choice is impeccable. A couple throw pillows to pull another colour in will be the top. It is perfect for the space. Good luck with the dogs

[@lynettecrowe8123]

If one of the old pieces of the lounge fitted in the corner where you have the dog bed i would of kept a piece for the dogs so it might keep them off the new lounge . Honestly i love the new lounge but have fun keeping the dogs off it.

[@barbarabisson2551]

Perfect color and choice for your house & usage! Tammy is to be commended. However, you'll never keep the dogs off if the furniture, so I'm glad it's washable.

[@Lilylou1fromtheUK.]

Lester I do not see anything wrong with the colour, your main wall has got dark colours that go with the new furniture. Jami will be happy that it has been sorted out. You did good.

[@sueriordon355]

It looks just fine. I think it is very nice that you wanted to surprise Jami. Enjoy. Mr. Hank has given his approval!😊

[@lindagoode1251]

I think it looks great. There is no color clash. You worry too much. I hope Jami loves it. And remember, this is the worst part of a colonoscopy. Tomorrow is a piece of cake. Be sure to take it easy tomorrow , afterwards too. Everything will be fine. 😊😊😊

[@k.chambers1978]

There is a brass plate to cover floor outlets. Love where Hank is at. Leave him right where he’s at.

[@laurelldockall2399]

Yes. And I Love those floor plugs. So much more convenient than running a cord to the wall if it’s a few feet away.

[@sorla6]

I think that set matches the living room theme great and it looks comfy!

[@theresamckinney1015]

I really like the new furniture, Lester! Surely Jami will too.

[@Nana_1958]

YOU DID GOOD, LESTER!!! JAMI WILL APPRECIATE THE EFFORT!!! I LOVE 😘 Y'ALL!!!

[@jenjetson4661]

I think the colour coordinates well brings out the darker colours in the wood wall behind the TV matches, hank perfectly and also pulls out the gray or darker colour in your countertops. Don’t stress she’ll love it.

[@ritafeazel9459]

Mr. Hank is precious. I’m glad you’re getting new furniture.

[@susansollee1839]

Dark gray is a great neutral type color. It looks GREAT !!!🌻❤️❤️❤️❤️ Jami will love it. 👍

[@2bornot2b60]

Gray is a neutral color, and I feel she will be happy. Your color palate is good, and it goes well. You were smart to take pictures to help coordinate the choice. You done good.

[@ruthbunch8584]

I think it looks great! An Jami will love it! Great job Lester! 😊

[@vickidolph1581]

I think the furniture you picked out is perfect! All of the colors work well together and are very rustic and earthy! The one suggestion I would have is to replace the coffee table and get a really big square table to accommodate both pieces of furniture😊

[@gaileldridge3585]

It’s very nice and looks very comfortable. A couple of blankets and decoy pillows will make it even more cozy

[@bethhardin8795]

If you like the furniture, that's what's important. It looks fine to me.

[@ashleyreed9494]

I think it really looks nice. It stands out. The colors don't clash at all. Good job Lester.

[@DEIRDRE-Ann]

This is my first time hearing you call Jamie you're wife😊

[@rebeccasellers7018]

I love that driveway view, the job in your fencing always strikes me. I remember what it looked like when you got the property.

[@alipaver7358]

I absolutely love the colour it fits in with the colours of the room!!

[@kathleensauerbrei5199]

I like it. It actually blends quite well with everything that is there originally. It looks very calming and inviting

[@chi4ever982]

I'm not good at matching but I think it looks great. Good job, Lester! My former bosses, who were the top dog breeders in the nation for their breeds (they are even in books about their breeds), taught me that life is MUCH easier if you match your clothes and furniture to the color of you dogs.😂😂 I end up with black dogs and/or red/chocolate dogs so it's pretty easy.

[@bjFloridaGator]

My cats love the counter and a plant window

[@carolerice9596]

I think the color is perfect. I think Jami will love it. I love my recliner

[@CT-rs8di]

I would prefer to be included with my spouse to pick furniture out. But not everyone does. Nice color

[@kimfleak3803]

If I had saved up for new furniture and my husband made this big purchase without me I would be hurt. Nothing wrong with the color or furniture but it’s not a gift, you said you saved up to buy it.

[@k.johnson6198]

@@kimfleak3803exactly! i would be furious…

[@marywilson1442]

I was feeling some kind of way about it. But then I thought about the fact that whenever I bought new furniture I went on my own and bought it. My husband really wasn't interested. And I think Jami feels that way too because of the fact that she hasn't gone out and bought furniture. Most women would have bought new furniture for that space so quick. Lester would have came home and found it furnished. But some women just aren't into decorating like that... Now when he builds her her new home that'll be different. She's going antiquing😅

[@JusticeDue911]

I love furniture shopping. It looks great! Good luck keeping the dogs off the couches once they are used to being on one. I have same problem LOL Yes Cats see us as they're servants LOL

[@sandismith9909]

Around minute 10, your eyes are SOOOOOOO bright blue in the sun! And i like the furniture and color.

[@AnnetteBrown-n4j]

I was the same kept looking at how blue his eyes were

[@rosemarygraham2815]

Lester I think you chose very well. It suits the decor of the room and the general colour scheme. Two recliners is also going to be very comfortable and you like to lie down while you watch TV so you’re going to be very comfortable. I’m sure Jamie is going to love it and if not, you can always go back to the store and look together at an alternative.❤❤❤🙌🏻

[@suzymueller8009]

I really like the colors with the rest of the decor. I think it brings out more of the gray tones in the fireplace. I like gray as a neutral color. Great job.

[@paulaemler9005]

Hank is the king. He goes where he wants. Just love him.

[@PgHes]

Hope Jami likes it because you picked it out without her! That’s usually something to do together but you did good.

[@jandcschwartz]

I think it matches and looks good! Our last furniture purchase was a similar set up. We love it and my husband falls asleep in the recliner all the time.

[@laurierowe617]

I love that you tried so hard Lester. I think it looks great! I hope you recorded Jami's reaction ❤

[@charitybarnhart144]

Can't wait to see what Jami thinks. I think you made a great choice. It seems to fit nicely

[@SpecialEdTalk]

Gray pretty much goes with everything. Looks great.

[@margiewarren9639]

It's beautiful. If Mr. Hank likes it then it's a winner! Good luck keeping the dogs off of it!

[@IAMArlena-tm7fs]

Cats own you, you don’t own them, lol. The furniture looks great. You do have some gray tones in the fireplace and in the back wall. Can’t wait to see Jami’s reaction.

[@tuffy4230]

"The dogs will not be on the furniture...mark my word '. My internet froze just after you said that Lester...which gave me a chance to get a good laugh in. I laugh because I have dogs too and they do not believe in sleeping on the floor. Best of luck! Love you Lester!!

[@lilasampson8713]

Proin from the vet works GREAT!! Our older dog had the same problem. The minute she fell asleep she’d pee a little. Just call your vet, I’m sure they know all about it……. Our babies are family and need prescriptions too sometimes……….

[@Leslie_Cline]

I just left the same comment and here you are 4 comments down. Lol I hope they try and it works for them.

[@Norunormii]

Yup, my girl gets propalin. We don’t have proin up here. Know the meds but the vet don’t have it

[@chi4ever982]

I thought they said Tricks had a vet visit about that? If not, I hope they listen and take your advise.😊

[@Leslie_Cline]

@@chi4ever982 yeah, they take good care of their animals so I’m sure she has. But maybe this possibility was missed!

[@barbaraerickson3489]

I'm with Mr. Hank. It's goes well with your other decor and it looks comfy! Jami will love it, especially since it doesn't smell 😂❤🐈‍⬛ I am proud of you for enduring your prep!

[@Pattyxoxo611]

I agree with Mr. Hanks , he is family. I have two cats and a chihuahua who protect me, so no complaints 😂

[@MichelleBralley]

I think it’s beautiful!!! I think it goes well with your home! Lester truly I think you did great!!!

[@melindaapril3880]

It looks good! I hope Jami likes it! I don’t see any clashing! It’s all neutral colors

[@cathyknight7631]

I love the color and style. I have almost the same furniture and living room area setup. But, I think I actually like your furniture better - it looks very comfy. Great job.

[@carolzippel5021]

With a cat you are the servant and with a dog it is a member of the family is so right.

[@jenniferwentland1736]

I happen to love it, because we had the exact same set! Ours was brown, but it’s very comfortable. Biggest piece of advice, be sure you do keep the dogs off. Not just for the “accidents”, but their nails will wear out the material quickly if you don’t.😊❤

[@sondrastearns1662]

[@dbrooks1498]

I think you can buy me furniture anytime you want too; you did good. You have grays in the tabletops, kitchen benches, and even the walls have shades of gray. I think it looks wonderful. Well done Lester.

[@deborahgoodner1121]

It works! Not bad. Jamie is the only one you need to like it.

[@patpowell4059]

Can't wait to see Jami's response. It's her house, too, and she's the one with the talent for decoration. It's so Longhorn Lesterish for you to "gift" her with something that she SHOULD have an INPUT on. She'll probably say..."It's fine, it'll be totally fine" whether she likes it or not! We'll see...

[@DebraBroady]

Totally agree 👍

[@user-tq5xn4ip3r]

I like the plugs and cup holders. I think it looks nice. Also if you want to pull the different colors together you can do that by adding a area rug.

[@camwesgigi]

I think the furniture looks amazing! Great choice, Lester!

[@mendi1161]

You can always put a blanket down on the couches/chairs for the dogs, especially Trixie. That way they can still get up there. (I’m a dog person).

[@LeslieB-rj4vo]

You did a great job. You don't want "matchy-matchy" colors. You want colors that are in a similar tone. The colors complement each other. The bonus is that Mr. Hank's hair won't be noticeable. Enjoy your new furniture.
