Matt’s Reaction To Our New Bedroom (And His One Requested Change)

Over the past six months or so, he hadn’t seen any of my progress. He was content material to only let me work with out transferring issues out of the best way in order that he may take a look at the progress. In actual fact, the final time he checked in on the progress, my closet wasn’t even completed. The final time he noticed the closet, it appeared one thing like this…

So what was his response? He LOVED it! I didn’t get his response on video. I didn’t even give it some thought, to be trustworthy. I used to be simply so anxious to get him in there and present him every little thing. But in addition, even when I had recorded his response, I wouldn’t have shared it on-line. Matt by no means volunteered for this entire running a blog factor. He didn’t volunteer to have photos and movies of him posted on-line for the world to see. This entire running a blog and on-line world is one thing I alone signed up for. I’ve shared the occasional image of Matt (along with his permission) through the years, however since he’s by no means proven an curiosity in being a daily a part of it, I’ve by no means presumed that I can or ought to share his common life with the net world.

However what I can let you know is that displaying our bed room suite to Matt that first day was each bit as thrilling as these reveals you see on TV the place the owners are avoided the undertaking till it’s completed, after which they’re introduced in for the large reveal. He was amazed. Shocked. I don’t know what he was picturing in his thoughts over the past a number of months as I’d describe issues to him, however I do know that the precise bed room suite far exceeded his expectations.

I introduced him by means of the lobby very slowly in order that he may take every little thing in. I confirmed him my closet, and he was very impressed. He cherished the lobby. The grasscloth wallpaper and the chapel image had been his favorites.

After which I introduced him into the bed room and turned him slowly in his Hoyer raise in order that he may take all of it in. He simply saved saying, “Wow. WOW!” After I bought him located within the mattress, I headed to the kitchen to get him some water, and I may nonetheless hear him within the bed room saying, “WOW!!” I’ve to confess, that made all of it price it.

I believe we’ve been in our new bed room for a few week now, and Matt has instructed me each single day how a lot he loves the room. His favourite factor is the grasscloth wallpaper, however he has identified a number of different issues (with out me asking) that he actually likes. He truly actually likes the chook wall. I wasn’t so positive he’d like that, however he does, and he supplied that flatter with out me fishing for it. Every single day since we’ve been in there, he has mentioned, “I really like this bed room,” and the yesterday, he mentioned, “That is the nicest bed room I’ve ever seen.”

WORTH. IT. That makes all of my onerous work, the entire ups and downs, and each misstep and do-over, completely price it. I may see the progress each single day, and I knew that I used to be loving how every little thing was turning out. However for him to be so complimentary of my work each day for the final week is the icing on the cake.

However that will get us to his one request — a brand new TV. The TV that I had initially moved into the bed room was the identical one which we had in our earlier bed room.

That’s a 55-inch TV, and I believed (and hoped) that it will work within the new bed room. However this new bed room is kind of a bit larger, and the TV is farther from the mattress. So his one request for the bed room was a brand new 65-inch TV.

Y’all. This factor is MASSIVE, particularly for a bed room. 😀

It’s undoubtedly not what I envisioned for our new bed room. 😀 Our bed room form of seems like a movie show now. However what? If that’s what he needs, then I’m completely satisfied to work with it. He spends an entire lot extra time within the bed room than I do, and I need him to be completely satisfied and cozy. It’ll ultimately go on the wall. I needed to order a brand new (a lot stronger and bigger) wall bracket for this beast, and it received’t be right here till tomorrow. So till then, that is what it seems to be like.

I nonetheless plan to construct a body for it, however clearly, my plans for that body have to alter a bit. It might probably’t be practically as outstanding because the body I had deliberate for the a lot smaller TV. I’m so glad I hadn’t constructed that body but!

Anyway, the truth that that’s the one change he requested is fairly good. I’ll depend it as win that he loves every little thing else in regards to the room. And if I’m being trustworthy, I’ve completely loved this massive TV as properly. It’s not what I deliberate, and it’s not what I envisioned for that wall, however I can work with it. And extra importantly, it’s price it to make that one change for him to have a bed room that he actually loves.
