As an engineering practitioner, I spend most of the year busy on the construction site. Therefore, I relieved myself to hand over the renovation task of the new house to my daughter-in-law who had a good vision, and gave her a renovation budget of 300,000 yuan. However, when I returned home half a year later and saw the results of the renovation, I was amazed beyond words. This kind of decoration style does feel a little uncomfortable for me as a man. I was worried that it would be difficult to bring my friends home confidently in the future, and that I would be embarrassed by the effect of the renovation.
When I walked into the living room, I was a little surprised by what I saw. The whole space presents a pink color, as if you are in a girl's dream. I understand that my daughter-in-law may be trying to create a warm and romantic atmosphere, but this style of decoration does make me a little uncomfortable as a man. I respect her aesthetic and dedication, but maybe she could have taken the diversity and practical needs of her family members into account when designing. After all, it's our shared home, not just her personal display space.
Seeing the new house like this, I really want to cry without tears, how can I live as a big man?
Regarding the overall decoration effect of the whole house, except for some parts that use more pink colors, the other parts are really quite good. The ceiling design of the living room looks stylish and atmospheric, and the cultural brick decoration of the TV wall is even more unique. My daughter-in-law told me that the whole renovation cost 320,000 yuan, and hoped that I could provide another 20,000 yuan for the renovation cost. However, after careful consideration, I think that the current renovation has been quite good, so I am reluctant to add additional costs. Of course, I also understand that there may be some unexpected expenses during the renovation process, but I will communicate further with my daughter-in-law to find a mutually acceptable solution.
While this pink, kawaii style may be popular with women, it may not be the first choice for us men. Everyone's aesthetics and preferences are understandably different.
However, through the renovation of the new house at home, we should not simply conclude that "women are unreliable". Renovation is a complex process that requires a comprehensive consideration of many factors, including budget, style, functionality, and more. In the decision-making process, husband and wife should fully communicate and negotiate with each other to make decisions together.
Therefore, we should abandon the prejudice of "the big man is in charge" and respect everyone's opinions and contributions. In the future life, whether it is a big or small matter, husband and wife should trust and support each other to create a better family life together.
