Redecorating on the cheap

Even a PowerPoint failed to sway my wife on my indoor lawn furniture idea

My wife has nixed my idea of putting lawn furniture in the family room.

In fact, I really don’t think she even considered it. I presented a number of well thought-out reasons complete with a PowerPoint presentation, and she turned me down on every point. There was no “thinking about it.” There was no “we’ll see.” There wasn’t even an acknowledgement that some of the points were good.
