I figure if he wants to to the work, he can go pick out everything and get what HE wants. but as long as *I* am doing the work, I get what i want. plus, i brought 75% of our furnishings with me into our marriage - all of which are flea market/auction/thrift shop buys. and he has seemed to cope. (I did break down and buy a *new* couch because the used ones were all so damn ugly...)BabelBabehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00467487618830618571noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10716440.post-32063178350155244602008-01-05T21:34:00.000-04:002008-01-05T21:34:00.000-04:00I am a bit like your husband, but I also love old ...I am a bit like your husband, but I also love old things!

Maybe it feels like poorboy stuff to him.<BR/>The thing is, since he is born into that community, he can get the greatest deals, sometimes even free, by taking it off people's hands.
