Question by Hoping he will bless me with #1: Is there anything wrong with having decor in your house that people cannot use or touch?
My husband and I don?t see eye to eye when it comes to home d?cor. I have always liked things to be coordinated, whereas he could care less about what something looks like. I realize that he?s a man and men usually don?t care, but it is frustrated by my desire to decorate. We bought a new home about nine months ago and we have a long way to go with decorating. However, I have several things that are just for decoration and not for use. For instance, the coffee pot (we don?t drink coffee at home anyway), my decorative potholders and towels, etc. Also, in my restrooms I have decorative towels, accessories and flower shaped soaps that are for decoration. I don?t want people wiping their hands on the decorative towels when they use the restroom. The trash can in the front bathroom has gold colored pine cones in it because I don?t want people putting garbage in it. Those items were kind of pricey so I don?t want them to be ruined. Is there anything wrong with that?
When people come to my home I do all that I can to make them feel welcome. But I am anal about putting soda cans, bottles or cups (especially those that sweat) on the coffee and end tables. It?s not that people don?t know how to act or what to do when they are visiting others, but what some people do at their home may not be appropriate to do at your home.
Some people sleep on their couch whereas we don?t. My husband would love to do that though. I am picky when it comes to our computer. If it?s an adult, then I have no problem letting them use it. But I don?t like kids to use it without parental guidance. What if they download a virus or what if they look something up they shouldn?t see?

I have decorative items, but I don?t think I am as extreme as this. If you place soaps in the bathroom, you can?t expect people not to use them, especially if they are placed right there on the sink.. same thing with towels. I have decorative towels in the kitchen that are seasonal.. and I saw my husband wipe his paws on them the other day.. and I just let him know those were for looks and to use the counter top towels.. he gave me a confused stare and said okay.. we can?t expect men to understand decorative items in the home.. I think everybody can relate to this. I just try not to be as protective over them, if they get used, we can always buy new ones. Best Wishes!
