I'd go with his choice, because even if it wasn't 'my' style, I'd rather feel like he's taking an interest and equally invested in our home together. Plus, if I'm being completely honest, I think his taste is probably better than mine. ;) He rarely has an opinion on anything house-related, so when he puts his foot down, I go along with it: and on each occasion, it's been exactly the right decision. Example: I wanted the whole house painted out in ecru and antique white because it looks awesome with oak floors and I'm kind of a minimalist. Hubby insisted on painting the lounge room in yellow. YELLOW. I thought he'd lost his mind... but I went with it, because I get my way 99.9% of the time, so why quibble about the 0.1%? He insisted that 'in Winter, you'll be glad we have this warm, cozy colour'. And you know what? Every Winter, I love that room. It's an odd duck compared to the rest of the house, but damned if it doesn't actually work surprisingly well. It'd definitely be too much to take as a house-wide theme - but contained as it is, it's pretty great.

yes Wuff it was extremely upsetting. I used to go to my car after every visit & cry & cry! My little guy is the apple of my eye & just the most fun lovable thing that even people who don't like dogs warm to. He's so used to being with people & having people fuss over him.Not the girls at quarantine though! You could see in his eyes he couldn't understand what he'd done wrong to be locked up & shunned & he used to howl & cry whenenver I got up to leave. The last week he was there he stopped eating. My 2 cats were rescues. My Maine Coon, Mr Bubba Coon was dumped at San Diego County Animal Shelter because he was the runt of the litter & deemed to be not big enough to be saleable. It was the height of the GFC. I brought him back to Sydney with me. My other guy, Spooky Cat is black & he & his sister were dumped at a vet in Five Dock here in Sydney aged 4 weeks. He stayed locked up in a cage at the shelter until he was 16 weeks old as black cats & tortys are the hardest cats to find a home for. When i took him home he just sat on the couch for a week because the concept of being free to walk about wherever he wanted was so foreign to him. He is the sweetest, loveliest little guy with beautiful yellow green eyes.

Long ago when I was in high school, we had a sports lesson doing hurdles. I loved it and secretly thought I was great at it. At the end of the lesson, we were sauntering back to class and I decided to show my friends once again how good I was. Now, hurdles must be approached from only one side. If you don't make it over, (from the right side)it smacks down. The other side doesn't move when hit. Well, I approached from the wrong side and had a little too much saunter and not enough pace, so didn't make it over. I hit it hard and the hurdle didn't budge. I was draped over the top in a horribly awkward position. Finger tips just off the ground on one side, toes just off the other side, bottom in the air, school uniform around my ears! Everyone gathered around laughing their heads off. Finally, after much laughter I was lifted off by my school mates. Lesson learnt, don't show off!

If you’re like most people, you’ll love the look of quality wooden floors. It’s one of the most popular flooring options for living areas, and for good reason. However, some people are wary of wood-floored kitchens. After all, wouldn’t the wood be damaged by all the moisture and spills? But it is not the truth. Today, timber flooring can serve a great purpose in a kitchen. As Canberra’s wood flooring experts, we’re here to share some of the reasons wood floors should be incorporated into your kitchen. Why You Should Consider Timber Flooring For Your Kitchen? 1. Sustainable materials For some, when it comes to kitchen floors, it’s not just about looks; it’s also about the sustainability of the materials used. If this is a consideration for your new kitchen design, engineered flooring is a good choice because only the top layer is made of slow-growing hardwoods. You can also find engineered floors derived from renewable trees. Asking your local flooring experts and investigating how and where they source materials can be tricky. There are certainly suppliers and installers who prioritize sustainable and eco-friendly practices while still producing high-quality flooring that meets all your requirements. 2. Durable When you choose quality engineered wooden flooring, you can be sure you’re choosing a durable option that will stand the test of time. With the right care and maintenance, hardwood floors will look amazing year after year, regardless of the foot traffic in your kitchen. If you’re looking for something new, or want to refinish old wood floors, you can also sand the wood flooring to remove any built-up damage. Sanding and refinishing floors is a great solution to help accentuate and breathe new life into your floor’s natural beauty. In short, it’s an affordable way to restore wood flooring without a complete replacement. 3.

Beautiful appearance and comfort One of the most compelling reasons to use timber flooring in a kitchen is that it looks beautiful and has a timeless quality. Nothing beats the look of quality wooden flooring. It adds warmth and character to your space. It is also suitable for various types of decoration.
