I would have a HUGE fit if my MIL redid one of my rooms in my house behind my back.  |
See! Im not the only one that thinks this is a good idea!
A friend of mine called me once to complain that she had redorated their masterbedroom. Her husband came home and instead of saying nice things,he rearranged the throw pillows and told her that he wanted them to be done THAT way from now on. My suggestion was to go to his office and rearrange stuff on his desk and tell him the same thing. She did and it worked. He has NEVER told her how to decorate again. It works
