My husband, on the other hand, sees it differently. He loves the natural wood grain — says painting it would “ruin the beauty.” He’s all about the classic, unpainted look — and I get it. There’s something timeless about raw wood that’s been cared for and polished.
To him, painting over it is like hiding its history.
So here we are — one dresser, two visions, and a can of red paint waiting patiently in the garage.
🎨 The Compromise (Maybe…)
Here’s what I’m thinking:
Paint just the inside shelves or the back panel red for a subtle pop of color.
Or maybe go bold on the drawer fronts and leave the frame wood-stained.
Or… I might just “test” a small section while he’s at work (kidding! …mostly). 😉
Because sometimes, the best home projects come from a little creative debate.
🏡 Final Thoughts
Whether we go red, stay natural, or find a middle ground, this dresser hutch is going to be something special — because it’s ours.
And who knows? Maybe once he sees how stunning red can look, I’ll win him over. (If not, there’s always another project to negotiate next weekend!)
Sometimes, decorating together isn’t just about the end result — it’s about the laughs, the ideas, and the little stories that make a house feel like home. ❤️
