bedroom decor for men image
Melissa
So we are moving to a new house with a large bathroom in the master bedroom and a smaller one on the main level in the hall. The one downstairs is of course them one everyone will use and see. He is dead set on having his own bathroom. It has a predation sink and a small corner shelf with no door. To me, that's for decor. I feel the main bathroom should appear unused and look nice. I suggested we hang a cabinet to hide his daily essentials. It's literally turned into a fight. He feels deodorant, face lotion, a razor and toothbrush in the open is fine. I disagree and he's refusing to compromise. So frustrated. May sound childish and insignificant but I'm looking for a way to make him realize it's about looking presentable. Help?!

Give up this fight. There are some things that are worth fighting about in a relationship, and some which are not. Let him have his own bathroom and keep the OTHER one looking nice. If guests come, direct them to the clean, decorated, uncluttered bathroom and leave his alone. In fact, you could hang a sign on the door of his bathroom that says "MEN ONLY". Because I guarantee you that not a single one of his friends will care if they see his personal stuff out like that. This war is not worth waging over a few personal items--and the lack of nagging and "rules" will make your relationship a lot less stressful.
OR--you could stick a small basket in that bathroom for those items--that way they aren't in a closed cabinet, he can still get to them, and all anyone wlll notice is the basket--not the stuff in it. But only put it in there when you actually have guests--and tell him it's just temporary so your guests don't mess up his personal stuff; then when the guests leave, take it out and put his stuff back.
You could also let him know that every time you flush a toilet, the water droplets from the flush get ALL OVER the toothbrush. So at least ask him if he would like you to get him a covered container for that item. Your toothbrush should be at least 5 feet away from any toilet. That goes for BOTH bathrooms. Knowing that might gross him out enough to at least keep that item out of sight and out of germs' way.

What is a good way to tell my neighbour?
blah
That her decor in her bedroom sucks, without letting her know I have been in her house, bearing in mind *she* has never invited me in. I would tell her hubby, but men dont get these things, you know.
Answer
Leave something behind, maybe your panties, then invite yourself in to retrieve them. Then maybe mention it to her!
