all good advices too!!!! I agree with almost all of your girls in here about communication and how to go about it. Sometimes hubby forgot and I simply say, Hon, didn't we forgot to take the garbage out? and before the last word gets said, he would jump to it. Always thank after that forgetfullness. YOu dont have to thank each other every little thing but big things that are meaningless to our spouses, like our chickens, I would thank him for helping me out gathering up the chicks that got out of the pen.
Second hand furnitures are great or the hand me downs from parents and relatives are super! I prefer the solid oaks, none of the particle boards type things, and if it needs some work to it, you can finish any color the way you want it. Even with the French Provercial tall dresser, even it does not go with our dark oak wheat carved headboard, I can paint it and do similar wheat pattern to it. I need to get ideas for the top and how to hide the French design. It is WHITE and gold, bleck but don't let that stop you! It will last for YEARS and you may never need to replace it or pass it down to your kids!
