Jadd got this one from Marissa in Nashville about moving in with her interior design challenged boyfriend.
i just moved in with my boyfriend and to put it nicely he can't decorate to save his life. seriously, his house is awful. is there a waiting period to start renovations, or can i just go to town on it now?
Don't wait, do it now. If you wait, he's gonna think you like it and be shocked when in 2 months you say "Honey I think we need to paint the walls, get new pictures, bedding, furniture. Basically let's completely renovate the house." Let him know up front that you're planning to make some changes. You've put up with his Playboy posters in the living room the whole time you dated. Let him know there's a place for them, and it's not where your friends are gonna have to stare at them if they come over for a dinner party or to watch Grey's Anatomy (yeah, let him know that's happening too so he can make plans to be somewhere else. No guy wants to hear you complaining about his dirty underwear on the floor to your friends).
Basically if you withhold this information you're setting up the possibility of major fighting. He has to know that you moving in with all your stuff means things for him are gonna change and that will probably include his mismatched pillows and chipped paint.
