Since we have been working on the new house and by "working" I mean, hired someone to do the work. My wife has us watching HGTV every night. They have a house hunter, top 10 rooms, and something about how much is it worth? show. With all this influx of design, the elements in a room, style versus function, I'm starting to care. (should I be holding my head down when I say this?)

My wife originally picked out this awful yellow, big floweredy assault on my eyes. She loved it. Honestly I thought she was kidding, it was that bad.
"Can you find anything more feminine?"
"It's not feminine." she contested.
"Seriously?" I walked away stunned.

Thankfully my response made her reconsider the scary yellow thing that would have kept me up at nights. We were picking out a color for the Master bedroom and we chose gray. Don't ask what the official name is, I'm a guy, it was gray. Crate and Barrel have this very nice gray bed set. It's dramatically different than our current set but it looks pretty good. I'm actually excited about a gray room.

I took my mother, who is VERY traditional, over to see the color and she walked in and grimaced. It was like I farted and puked on her at the same time. quite humorous.

Later,
