My(Lori) husband likes "sparkly" things. I am not a "sparkly" kind of gal. I like scrumptious dark colors and simple, clean decorating, so you can imagine that the plasma ball and fiber optic glowing thingie are not my favorite decorative items. That said, my husband likes them and our home is his home too. It's a respect thing to make room for his likes as well as my own. They're not bad items, they're just ... sparkly.
I encourage y'all to take your husband's likes and interests into account when decorating your home. Yes, the moose head is a bit much, but surely there is a part of the house that is more masculine where the hairy critter can be incorporated (think twinkle lights at Christmas time). ;-) It's about making your home a place where he feels welcomed and valued.
It is our privilege and our adventure to discover our own (as well as others') special light. Mary Dunbar (parenthetical comment mine)
