Is it wrong that I’m enjoying his discomfort this much?

He didn’t believe me when I told him how hard it’s been to find fabric for the furniture he chose so I’m continuing to show him firsthand.

Seeing is believing after all.

In my search I’ve discovered that even though different stores sell the same brand, they’ll often have different fabric available and I’ve made it my mission to check them all.

Hence our trip to Waterville to a small but 5th generation family run store.

.

.

Their showroom is a two story barn from the 1800’s.

.

And while they didn’t have the particular style set we wanted, they can order it…. at what turns out to be $600 less than their larger competitors. Free delivery included. I’m all about supporting small local businesses so this is where we’ll purchase it.

If we can ever decide on a fabric.

Green is still nonexistent. And even the blues that I didn’t really want are muted. But I pulled and pulled hopeful something would catch my eye.

This photo perfectly portrays how thrilled my husband was to be on the journey.

🤣

I’d tentatively narrowed it down to these two with the husband bored out of his mind behind me.

Until…

.

.

He discovered a huge computer loaded with the company’s app.

With it you pick your style…

.

.

And punch in the fabric number for a peek at what it will look upholstered. He had fun with this for quite a while, laughing at how horrible some of the patterns were. But when I gave him the number for the fabric I was considering?

.

.

I stopped laughing because he said the cushion had two eyes staring at him.

.

.

Jesus wept.

Will nothing please this troublesome spouse!

🥴

      1. I was just commisserating with the man in the picture. You are going to get what you want, when it comes to designing your interior.
        Show him a website with a 1000 or more patterns, ask him to pick 10, without your influence.
        That will give you a guess at what might put a smile on his face.

  2. I like the dark grey in the second sofa photo – as a base color it is so versatile – you can then add any colors you want and they will just pop (there’s a good reason grey has become such a popular neutral. Doesn’t belong on walls IMO or kitchen cabinets but a sofa or chair – works so well). Those prints make my eyes roll back in my head – but I do not do prints – perhaps a striped fabric would be a good compromise – you might get the color you want and hubby might be more pleased?

  3. I had to do something similar with my husband years ago. Showed him how tricky it is to find any acceptable fabric let alone get in on the style of furniture you want. It’s a nightmare that has to be experienced to fully understand how amazing it is when it all comes together. Which it will for you two… eventually.

  5. I can’t stop laughing! Jesus wept made me snortle (you know how I love your humor?). The eyes watching….lol. I love patterns (but I’m still Laura from Little House on the Prairie lol) so I went solid on my new furniture with patterns in accent chairs and pillows. I like those patterns you chose though! (Sorry to your hubs!).

    1. I brought that one home, but it’s just too light for our off white walls.
      That picture is the face I’ve been living with since the selection process started…
      🤣
