I have a small Victorian chair that I have always loved but it is very low and has suffered abuse in it's life time. It's last refinishing was a disaster. I wanted it in front
of my vanity to sit on while I do my makeup. I decided to
paint it white and then have it reupholstered. I have two coats on it and it looks fine to me but Ted is constantly criticizing what a mess I am making of it. I am vizualizing
it in a blue fabric..perhaps a printed velvet. I also
have a wing chair I want recovered.

I think it is unfair for husbands to criticise their wives creative efforts especially when they always like the end
result.

We get two free trips to the dump and I have lots of things
that I want to take. Ted seems to cherish these objects and
when I try to part him from them he hangs on to them for
dear life. What use could he possibly have for broken blinds, three legged pot holders and a squirrel cage out of
an old water cooler?

Men must truly be from Mars!
