Is your husband the type of guy who hardly notices when you get your hair colored? Do you have to be all like, “Hey babe, did you notice I got my hair done today?“
Ummmm, ok…my husband is that man. The man that lets hair makeovers go unnoticed. I could go from dark brown to bleach blonde and he’d probably still walk right by me, tap me on the butt and keep on keepin’ on.
He’s not very observant. Although, what man really is, right?
So it’s safe to say that when I make minor {or even major} home decor changes…he pays no attention. I joked a few months back because I completely changed out the pendant lights that hang over our island in the kitchen and I knew he wouldn’t notice. It took him 3 days and even then…I had to say, “Do you like the new lighting?“
GAH! What is wrong with men.
One of my favorite quotes from him {to date} came a few weekss ago when our new basement couch arrived. Of course, he did not help me pick it out. Or even know that I was buying a couch at all. He leaves the decorating all in my hands. But when it was delivered and set up in the basement I ask him, “Do you want to see the new couch?
His quote:
“Nah. If you’ve seen one couch you’ve seen em’ all.”
Wow.
And that, my friends, is the sign of a passive husband who totally trusts in his wife’s home decor skills. The question is…am I that good or is he that uninterested? Hmmmm.
Ok, on to the point of this post…the dining room updates. I posted pictures of our dining room last year after we added the board and batten.
It did WONDERS for the look of this room.
I wish I could find before pictures of the dining room when the walls were maroon. Ick!

You know how obsessed I am with my gallery walls. It’s a sickness. In case you want to truly see how many pictures I have hung in my home then check out my project gallery.
Do not ask how many holes I have in my dry wall.
I’m running out of wall space quick. Thank goodness for the basement…TONS more blank walls. Chime – birds singing!
I had bought these colorful circle mirrors at Hobby Lobby over 6 months ago. I had no idea where I would hang them…that’s what I do. Buy things because I like them not because I have a spot to put them. Ahem.
I added them to the dining room wall and the helped brighten up the space!
Have you made small changes in a room that had a big impact? Am I the only one who has a husband that doesn’t notice any minor or major home decor changes? I’d love to hear!
ps Sorry these pictures are so bright. I didn’t realize my ISO was way off and I was going to re-do them, but guess what…my main lens is broke. UGH!
To see more of our home…
