I guarantee you, as soon as one of her friends sees it, they say...”OH. MY GAWWWWWWWD! That is so CUTE!!”

I swear I don’t understand a woman’s need to decorate so much. It seems like a waste to spend money on shite that’s so...cheesy.

LOL. This looks exactly like something my wife would buy. We have pillows and picture frames with that stupid looking typeface that say "love" and "home" all over the house. There's even a little sign that says "just breathe" in that same font. Apparently my wife needs to be reminded to breathe.

This. Everyone's freaking house/style should not be farmhouse. I am looking at you Johanna Gaines.


My wife has her interior decorating book.

There’s merit in creating a well-appointed warm and inviting space. I think some people just don’t have specific taste of their own or don’t have a creative eye for decorating so they constantly follow (often cheesy/tacky) trends, and often do so as they’re on the way out.


ETA: FTR I think it’s tacky too. But at least they’re trying.

I have a friend whose wife decorates their walls with those word appliques. Like in the living room she has "family" on the wall in some fancy font. In the kitchen it says "home is where the cook is" or some shite. Ugly af. I don't know when this became a thing.

Honestly, divorce or death. Otherwise, learn to live with it.

Dude, that shite is pervasive.

I work in and out of all kinds of houses (mobile and otherwise) in Livingston Parish, and it's like they shook out of damn Hobby Lobby warehouse over the entire parish. Signs everywhere, trinkets, knickknacks, and enough decorative pillows for a small country.

The comments about "EAT" in the kitchen or "Breathe" are spot-on. Those and random Bible passages are somewhere in about 95% of the houses I work in.

Interesting that it's not limited to any specific socioeconomic group or race either. I see the same crap whether I'm working the north BR hood, the deep LP meth trailers, the new DSLD developments, or even CCLA.

Thankfully Ms. FCP doesn't do too much of this stuff. But, if she did, I would STFU and deal with it.

I told mine “it’s starting to look like pier 1 took a giant shite in here”

She hasn’t bought any of that crap for four months now

You fighting a losing battle. Just relax and have another beer.

walk around naked all the time and see if that works out for you... you are letting yourself "breathe" easier by not being cramped up in clothes.
