I think I may be getting a divorce....

DH just left to go pick up an order he put in a month ago at a frame shop.

He has his vintage KISS posters framed. Something like a total frame space of 50" length and 40" high.

Now I would not have had a problem with it if

1.) It was going in his office/Library

2.) Going into the Garage

3.) Waiting until our upstairs was finished..AKA the media room..then it could go with his vintage pinball machines and I would never have to see it.

but since he spent so much on the frame..which by the way was labeled "gaudy" and thick....and he wants to see it hanging.. he is trying to convince me that it would look really good in our living room wall off to the side.

 

sometimes I wish we had just done a huge lame ass Pottery Barn rip off looking living room.. because eclectic is starting to piss me off.

 

vent over.. he is going to owe me big.

I understand. 

We have a nicely framed "Death of Superman" poster hanging in the living room.

There is no way that I would let him win that one. lol.  He so owes you!

Our living room is firefighter themed.  LOL.  It's not obnoxiously so, but it wouldn't fit in a Pottery Barn catalog, that's for sure.

we have something similar in our back mud room..Juniper actually tells "een" ( gene simmons) good morning and goodnight daily.

I think sometimes we are living paralell lives, pin. Except you live in the middle of nowhere.

We have some bad posters in our family room - Godfather, Pulp Fiction and Blade Runner but he would be looking for a new place to live if he thought they were going in the Living Room.  Good Luck

you know BoF.. I often think the same thing.

 I don't think I would mind so much either if we both lived in a home like we used to or a loft like I did. It would fit... this house... it doesn't fit. Maybe it is his way of rebelling against moving out into the middle of no where or maybe he needs me to kick him in the ass.

I am sure our MS friends will think WTF while our old friends in Chicago would probably not bat an eye.

We have been having a rough patch so I don't want to be confrontational about it.. but I also am tired of him "decorating" our house.

We're moving things around to make room for the new baby. I just walked in my living room to find a pyramid of autographed baseballs, a signed bat, and God knows what else will pop up in my living room!

*snicker*

At least you are original, LOL.

I am no help, I would hang Rolling Stones posters in my living room. 

But he definitely owes you - you should go shopping!!!!!!!

It sounds somuch like A Christmas Story with the leg lamp.  Maybe it will have an "accident" and you won't have to worry about it anymore.  hehe

I have a picture of the USS Constitution with planes flying over it in my living room.  My DH loves it and says it is an "award winning" picture.  I also have an autographed and framed "This Old House" picture in our downstairs hallway and a framed "Band of Brothers" poster in our office.  The only one I don't really have a problem with is the "Band of Brothers" poster since Donnie Wahlberg is in "Band of Brothers"!
