Boyfriend and I have very different ideas of decoration. He’s very black and white. And I mean that literally – his entire house has white walls with black & white photographs.
It’s been a real adjustment for him as my things find my way into his house.
Like the gold bird statue. Boyfriend hates this statue, although his only reasoning is “It’s a gold bird.” As if that’s a reason to hate it. Gold Bird moved into the house a few weeks ago, and hasn’t found a permanent place quite yet. I’ve been moving it from place to place – it went from his office, to the living room, to the kitchen counter. Mainly because I think it’s funny for Boyfriend to discover Gold Bird at random places and then pretend that I have no idea how it got there. Hilarious, right?
This past weekend, my giant pink “For Like Ever” poster came to live at Boyfriend’s house. Boyfriend suggested that it live in the garage until we find the “perfect place” for it.
Weird. Somehow, I managed to find that place.
It now lives with the gold bird on the stairway up to the bedroom.
Take that, black & white.
