Question by kggeezer: How can I combine two very different styles?
I just moved across the country (Pennsylvania to Arizona) to be with my boyfriend. For the last couple years he has been living alone, doing the bachelor thing. Since I got here I’ve been cleaning up the HUGE mess that he has made since the last time I was out to visit. Now that I’m about done with all the scrubbing and making this place habitable I mentioned to him that I wanted to do a little decorating. He’s not really wanting to give up his girly posters and bar signs in the living room… and his giant bullets, rocket launchers, and guns on the (plastic) dining room table. (Btw… he’s a former Marine which I totally love and respect… and I have no problems with the guns… just where they are…lol)
I don’t want to “take over” now that I’m here… I just want to add a little art and some style.
Any ideas on things I could do to make it a little more stylish and a little less single man-ish without totally freaking him out?? Maybe certain colors or styles that are cohesive?

Well I can totally understand if you are married then his ideas would play second to yours. Usually most men are willing to give into their wives ideas of the home and expecially if they are the ones taking care of the home and they are gone all day.
Do it slowly. Maybe he can his own space for all his special stuff. Make it up a really nice space that he can go and do his own thing like watching television, doing his hobbies, etc. Slowly get rid of things and moving in slowly your designs. He may become to love your ideas soon.
