The Common Ground

     Why is it that when you are renovating, redecorating...it can be so hard to come up with a common ground? We both have simple tastes. She likes light and airy. Maybe white walls? I would be happy with white as long as they have some texture.  My other requirements are simple enough.

             

Like a comfortable place to sit...

a simple table...

 

good lighting...

basic storage...

a decent sound system...

some simple accessories...

and maybe a kitty in the corner.

So what's the issue?
