My husband and I got this dresser hutch recently and I want to paint it red. Hubby says no way….

.

Compromise creatively: Maybe we try a darker, subtler shade of red—or even just paint the drawers instead of the entire hutch.

Test before commitment: Swatches and small sample patches are lifesavers—they help both sides visualize the final look.

Keep the humor alive: Laughing through these debates makes the process way less stressful.

At the end of the day, whether it ends up red, burgundy, or classic wood, the journey of picking a color together becomes part of the story. And honestly, it’s these little disagreements that make home projects memorable.

So here’s to all the couples out there negotiating paint colors, furniture placement, and “just one more pillow.” May your debates be fun, your compromises creative, and your homes full of personality! ❤️
