How I Plan to Decorate My Hubby's Studio

One of the bedrooms in our new house is being used as my husband's music studio. The man pays the mortgage and was relegated to keeping his computer & recording equipment in a make-shift studio in the garage of our old house, so I can't begrudge him this. I can, however, think of a lot of better uses for the space....like my own personal meditation room or somewhere where the kids can keep their enormous amount of obnoxiously loud & colorful and plastic toys (courtesy of grandparents, et. al.). *Sigh*

So let me get to the point of this post. My husband, great guy that he is, will not and has yet to change a freakin roll of toilet paper when he is the last to use one up. This has been going on for the 6 years we've been together and I think my cup hath finally run over. He claims forgetfulness...whatever. I swear I have left a fresh roll sitting on top of the commode as a "reminder" yet there is the plain, brown, empty roll sitting there on the t.p. holder a day later...I know this is a minor annoyance. Things could be worse. But I am feeling a little....shall we say bitchy....about this and have decided to start collecting the toilet paper tubes that he so graciously leaves behind.

So far I have 8 stored up and when I have enough I am going to string them up on some rope and make my husband a lovely little garland for his music studio and duct tape a couple together to frame his computer monitor. Maybe I'll get even more creative and construct some kind of chandelier out of them. I could add the paper towels rolls (yep...those never get changed either) and really get artistic...we'll see how sweet I want my revenge to be.

And I don't expect this to actually work as a reminder for him to replace rolls....I'm sure he'll just laugh about it, tell his co-workers and continue to leave shreds of paper hanging from their dispenser.....but what the heck, it IS bound to get his attention. And who knows....I may end up with my own installment at MOMA. Stranger things have happened.

Ha!

I love the idea of a chandelier. :D I'm the only one in the family that changes the roll. I've been saving them because we have a pet rat now, and he likes to shred them.

I used to have pet rats!

They were such great pets! Unfortch, I became wickedly allergic to them. Damn allergies. I taught mine a bunch of tricks. It was cool!

Sorry, this is a very off topic comment, LOL!

They are good pets. I was hesitant, because I couldn't really see myself developing loving feelings towards a rat. lol But he's pretty funny. He does little tricks too. :)

Could be cool

I can picture it pretty clearly in my mind. I especially like the chandelier idea! But, if you really want to drive the point home, why not try this? If you store the TP in the bathroom (like most normal people) MOVE IT to a hall closet. When you see the currently used roll getting real low, hide a roll in the bedroom or kitchen (where YOU can get to it easily when you need it). Then, when he's the last to NOT replace the roll, you don't either! I bet he's so used to you replacing it that he'll have a seat and before he knows it, be stranded with no TP! It may take a couple times, but I tell ya ~ he'll become less forgetful when he has to sneak out to the hallway to get more paper!

ModelMom, why not get all your friends to save their

empty rolls for you (I'll gladly mail you mine) and then wallpaper the room with them. Maybe it would help with sound insulation? LOL!!! Actually, I bet it would look pretty cool. Kind of a modern art-type wall covering.

Pussy Willow – January 15, 2008 – 8:23am

Pussy Willow you are a riot!

LOLOLOLOLOL!! love it! the soundproofing idea...i would actually be doing him a favor then. brilliant! i mean, if i took it a bit further i could paint each roll a different color and really get artistic! it might increase the value of the house. ;-P

I bet you could get a spot on some HGTV show with

the walls done like that. Something like, "What's Up With That House?" LOL!!!

Pussy Willow – January 15, 2008 – 12:40pm

ModelMom- it cant be any worse than..

a show that used to be on, dont know if it still is or not, TRADING SPACES. It can be no worse than that show where once they actually used hay or straw as a wall treatment,like adhered it to the wall. I thought it was the most ridiculas thing I had ever seen in decorating. Your idea has alot more merit!!lol.

ammorton – January 15, 2008 – 2:02pm

i'd love to be on HGTV!

LOL! i am addicted to that channel mostly because i am a glutton for punishment and love/hate watching people talk about needing a bigger house when they only have one kid and already own a 2,000 square foot beauty. blah!

but i really do enjoy the decorating shows! and maybe i could host my own for wives who are sick of the whole toilet paper debacle.....maybe come up with ideas for the toilet seat the never gets put down, the sock mountains that never get picked up.....hmmm...this could be big! LOLOLOLOL!
