Hi Sue - Sorry to hear you aren't feeling 100%. I was passing through and saw your thread and the choosing colors kind of struck me. Is it just this particular incident or is something else bothering you? I've always left choosing colors to my (now WAW) wife not because I didn't care what the place looked like but because I recognized that I have little talent in seeing what goes with what and what looks good *and* that she had a real talent for it. She was always great at decorating and our home looked great and felt 'homey'. Everyone in her family consulted her about colors schemes and decorating. It may be a sexist attitude but I've found in my limited experience that women are generally better at color co-ordinating and decorating than guys...the apartment I recently moved into, painted and decorated by a guy, further strengthens my belief
