Background Story:

 

A navy diver finally decided to retire and settle down. He had recently married his old flame. The old sailor brought his new bride home to his cabin in the woods. He thought it the perfect spot to start their lives together. Little did he know how quickly his life was going to change.

 

First his new wife made some minor adjustments to the kitchen, getting new appliances. He thoughts "okay, little upgrade. No biggie." Then she started changing the furniture. She moved his bachelor chairs upstairs to the bedroom. He thought "Okay, well at least she let me keep them and didn't throw them out" Then his favorite smoking chair went to the balcony. Now he was starting to get nervous. He had to stop her from getting rid of his wardrobe. It was the perfect size for his things and not to mention it took FOREVER to put it together.

 

After he finally got her to allow him to keep most of his things, she started adding her own furniture. Now, some of the furniture he really liked. That window seat was a sweet addition. He could watch her reading in the morning while sipping her coffee. Or biting the end of her pencil while doing a crossword puzzle. It also allowed them a place to snuggle inside and watch the sunset. He also liked and occasionally used her secretary desk that she added to his music room. She had inherited the desk from her father after he passed and was very sentimental about it. He freaked out a little when her wardrobe took over half of the upstairs bathroom. I mean it was already pretty small for just the tub. But somehow she managed to fit it all in there.

 

They did a lot of give and take to come to an agreement on several things. He got to keep his boat and dock. I mean, just because he retired didn't mean he still didn't want. to go out on the water. Plus it allowed him time to fish. She was against going out on the boat, said it made her seasick so it became his personal time. In exchange, his deer stand became a nest where they both could go up and enjoy the view. He missed the hunting part, but loved the time with his wife. His music room was another small sacrifice but not one he was upset with. He woke up one morning to some banging noises. His first thought was "Oh god, what is she up to now???" He was pleasantly surprised when he found her in the music room playing her new bongos she had ordered. She wanted to surprise him with trying to accompany his guitar playing by joining him with her new drums. He liked the idea, and, after he made breakfast for them both, they had a little jam session where he helped her with her timing and then also gave her some guitar lessons.

 

The sailor and his new wife learned how to compromise and managed to help decorate their home in a style both could enjoy. He still had his nautical tastes to the house and she had her personal touches that gave it a sense of warmth. Both were very happy with the outcome.
