If I ask sometimes he will give an opinion but otherwise he just helps with the technical parts- hanging stuff where I can't reach and the likes. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/didwill-your-so-have-a-say-in-your-nursery-design#post-321541 Tue, 02 Oct 2012 21:43:39 +0000 googly-eyes 321541@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We did everything together. I'm not too picky and didn't have any grand plans, just went with it! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/didwill-your-so-have-a-say-in-your-nursery-design#post-321530 Tue, 02 Oct 2012 21:26:28 +0000 prettylizy 321530@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>He did all the furniture building and stuff hanging, and he helped me with the painting, but he is pretty hands off when it comes to home decor. I always run my ideas by him before I do anything though. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/didwill-your-so-have-a-say-in-your-nursery-design#post-321529 Tue, 02 Oct 2012 21:24:49 +0000 mrsjyw 321529@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I did everything besides painting... but always got his opinion about stuff </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/didwill-your-so-have-a-say-in-your-nursery-design#post-316117 Fri, 28 Sep 2012 17:45:34 +0000 pinkcupcake 316117@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>He wasn't too into decorating the nursery. He pretty much left all that up to me :) Assembling everything - that was all him! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/didwill-your-so-have-a-say-in-your-nursery-design#post-316107 Fri, 28 Sep 2012 17:37:48 +0000 JessiBee 316107@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes! Not that we've done anything yet, but we've had several spirited discussions (that sounds civilized, right?!) about paint colors, and he tends to have surprisingly strong decisions about decor. Luckily, we have fairly similar taste, so I'm looking forward to working on it together! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/didwill-your-so-have-a-say-in-your-nursery-design#post-315723 Fri, 28 Sep 2012 13:41:53 +0000 LuLu Mom 315723@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>He helped hang, but he didn't have a say in the decorations. He did choose between 2 paint colors for hte wall (of course choosing the opposite one that I wanted) but it turned out cute! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/didwill-your-so-have-a-say-in-your-nursery-design#post-315706 Fri, 28 Sep 2012 13:31:31 +0000 Bookish 315706@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We are only TTC-ing, but he has been so excited to get the guest room turned into the nursery! He even took a picture of the room and photoshopped different paint schemes onto it so we could pick one! It' been great! I have a better design eye than he does, but he is GREAT at getting things done! :D Can't wait til I get KU and start putting this into action!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/didwill-your-so-have-a-say-in-your-nursery-design#post-315661 Fri, 28 Sep 2012 13:10:34 +0000 Alivoo01 315661@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My hubby has a great sense of style so I'm sure he'll be heavily involved when we pick out furniture, bedding, and decor for the baby's room. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/didwill-your-so-have-a-say-in-your-nursery-design#post-315618 Fri, 28 Sep 2012 12:53:42 +0000 Mrs. Pickle 315618@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My husband likes helping me decorate. He'd be upset if I picked a paint color or something like that without him. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/didwill-your-so-have-a-say-in-your-nursery-design#post-315613 Fri, 28 Sep 2012 12:51:21 +0000 littlebug 315613@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I come up with ideas, and then run them by him. He's agreed with all of my ideas. Whether that's just because he's yessing me to death or he actually agrees, I don't know. Either way, I'm happy about it! I do keep him in mind when making decisions, though. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/didwill-your-so-have-a-say-in-your-nursery-design#post-315608 Fri, 28 Sep 2012 12:48:53 +0000 Minnie_Girl 315608@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>He does. I really like it when DH is involved. He has good taste and contributes ideas that liven up my own! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/didwill-your-so-have-a-say-in-your-nursery-design#post-315562 Fri, 28 Sep 2012 12:31:18 +0000 oahujeni 315562@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>DH wasn't into the nursery until I told him I wanted to do a superhero theme. He even went out on his own once looking for cute superhero stuff and he was all over getting the nursery done and exactly how I wanted it. I did not expect that at all from him! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/didwill-your-so-have-a-say-in-your-nursery-design#post-315537 Fri, 28 Sep 2012 12:22:12 +0000 autumnlove 315537@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>DH suggested a tree decal! :-) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/didwill-your-so-have-a-say-in-your-nursery-design#post-315523 Fri, 28 Sep 2012 12:20:11 +0000 kml636 315523@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I was kind of surprised my DH got really into the nursery and actually wanted it to be as colorful as possible. I had to tone him down lol. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/didwill-your-so-have-a-say-in-your-nursery-design#post-315500 Fri, 28 Sep 2012 12:09:46 +0000 ladyfingers 315500@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We're doing a baseball/Yankees theme and DH is the baseball/Yankees fan so I asked direct input on a few things, like which baseball lamp he wanted and asked him to find some bobbleheads of players he liked. I did run everything else by him also but I knew he'd say "fine" to everything -- which he did. If he didn't like something, I wouldn't have done it, but everything was so cute! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/didwill-your-so-have-a-say-in-your-nursery-design#post-315463 Fri, 28 Sep 2012 11:55:14 +0000 Honeybee 315463@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>DH actually picked out an artist and designed the nursery mural with her for the nursery. We picked out the room color and crib together, and then I did the rest of the decor. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/didwill-your-so-have-a-say-in-your-nursery-design#post-315454 Fri, 28 Sep 2012 11:49:19 +0000 LAGS 315454@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Coco Bee: My husband would respond kind of like this too... but I'm pretty sure out of support for me over his actual excitement for my designs haha </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/didwill-your-so-have-a-say-in-your-nursery-design#post-315443 Fri, 28 Sep 2012 11:43:31 +0000 LemonLong 315443@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My husband actually likes to decorate, but we don't have the same taste at all. So there was quite a bit of discussion on how to decorate the nursery! He ended up designing the customer closet, and picked out the rug, and the curtains. And then everything else I found and had him look at it before I bought to make sure he had a say. He was involved in every decision though. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/didwill-your-so-have-a-say-in-your-nursery-design#post-315437 Fri, 28 Sep 2012 11:40:25 +0000 mrsjazz 315437@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm designing the nursery for our LO (she's 5 months but we are moving in a couple of weeks so she will get her nursery finally). I only ask my DH for input when I can't decide between two items. If he doesn't like an idea or item I've purchased and I do, I win :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/didwill-your-so-have-a-say-in-your-nursery-design#post-315434 Fri, 28 Sep 2012 11:39:26 +0000 Mrs. Pen 315434@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I ran all my ideas past him and he'd respond, "oh that's cute!" he takes an active approach in decor. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/didwill-your-so-have-a-say-in-your-nursery-design#post-315429 Fri, 28 Sep 2012 11:38:02 +0000 lawbee11 315429@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My DH is totally a "Yes Dear" kind of guy, too, and I love it. I think he would veto it if I wanted to do something absolutely ridiculous with the nursery, but when the time comes I think he'll pretty much let me do whatever I want. We've actually already talked about our future nursery plans and are pretty much on the same page! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/didwill-your-so-have-a-say-in-your-nursery-design#post-315427 Fri, 28 Sep 2012 11:37:52 +0000 heffalump 315427@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I don't think he vetoed anything in the nursery. Of course he's allowed to say no to anything, but he didn't.</p> <p>He didn't let me hang or put together certain things because I was super pregnant and he didn't want me standing on chairs. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/didwill-your-so-have-a-say-in-your-nursery-design#post-315422 Fri, 28 Sep 2012 11:34:01 +0000 LAGS 315422@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Apparently my husband doesn't trust my handyman skills because he wouldn't let me hang anything heavy (prints, shelves) above or around the crib. Other than that, he's very much a "Yes Dear" kind of guy when it comes to decor (and I love him for it).</p> <p>Did your SO surprise you with their involvement or requests while setting up the nursery? </p>
