How to Compromise?, by Harveyn on Oct 18, 2007 10:53:39 GMT 1, Wow - I did not realize how fortunate I am. My wife occasionally passes comment but really takes no interest in either the art I hang or the furnishings/decor. Shes quite happy to let me work away.
The amount of time I spend obsessing over and about art causes more of a problem..... ;D ;D ;D

How to Compromise?, by danvnuk on Oct 18, 2007 11:06:25 GMT 1, If I'm honest, my other half is pretty chilled out, if she really genuinely didn't like something I'd bought - I'd sell it, so far it's never happened.
She generally likes all of the stuff I've bought, although I know she eyes my signed Banksy and mentally computes how many pairs of shoes it's worth sold.

How to Compromise?, by paulypaul on Oct 19, 2007 0:16:06 GMT 1, I had a conversation with my g/f - Me - " You put a treadmill in one bedroom ,that you don't use. Another bedroom is full of your dressing table, make up, clothing etc etc. Our bedroom has built in wardrobes that YOU want, that I hate. You wanted floor to ceiling book cases in the dining room. The kitchen is no good and the living room is dominated by a piece YOU wanted. All I want is a little wall space without having a debate about it EVERY time." her - "Well buy stuff I like..." I may move out - or extend...
You see what I mean...

How to Compromise?, by blacksy on Oct 19, 2007 1:35:13 GMT 1, My misses doesnt seem to like Micallef in the slightest!
I've spent 2 years trying to convince her that our house will look better with some Banksy on the walls. But Micallef seems to be pushing it too far! She won't have any of those up in the house anywhere except my office!!
I told her - I'll decorate the lounge, you decorate the bathroom.
Seems to have worked so far! as i sit here staring into my Sepia Morons!

How to Compromise?, by themightyreds on Oct 19, 2007 9:19:25 GMT 1, It can be a bit of a battle but once they turn up they nearly always get the OK if i want to hang them anywhere.
Only 2 so far have ever had a "no chance" rating applied.
Got an OK on the GIWTBB once it arrived and was laid out to see in the flesh which is a right result!!

How to Compromise?, by jellya on Oct 19, 2007 9:33:12 GMT 1, I've struggled with:
Napalm - I honestly can't see the issue ;D
Burger King - Massive debates, and then one day it mysteriously fell of the wall...mmm
Titifreak Dog - She hates dogs and this one's no gentle-looking pooch
I've been OK with Xenz and Kozyndan's though

How to Compromise?, by gilsteph on Oct 19, 2007 9:50:38 GMT 1, My wife loves Kozyndan as well. So much so that she has bought a few of their prints for friends.
They have all loved them and that helps when I bring in 1/2 dozen other prints that arent so "pretty".
Anthing she hates....goes in my study....thats the compromise...but then again Im lucky to have a spare room ;D

How to Compromise?, by baracass on Oct 19, 2007 16:08:33 GMT 1, Don't have photo of the wall in question since the camera was dropped in the drink while sailing in Croatia. Did manage to find a picture of the print on the net....
"Coming Home" by Bronywn Bancroft (Good indigenous Australian name that).
There was a Ken Done up at one stage but I wasn't standing for that. Speaking of which it might be a weak association but thinking of Ken Done just made Dan Bladwin pop into my head. Go figure.

Particularly if she gets half your art collection in the settlement

Saves splitting it in the event of a divorce, and more importantly - inheritance tax - nothing wrong with buying your child a ยฃ250 banksy canvas in 2002, but handing him the ยฃ100k you might get for it now if you sold it would raise alarms!
