[quote=Anonymous]Start going to open houses. First, it will get him used to seeing what you are already able to vision. Just like touching in a store gets you to buy, so does standing in a dream kitchen gets you to upgrade. Second, it may give both of you the desire to cash in that equity by selling and buying something already upgraded. This is a much easier path than upgrading your home. I understand that your husband is basically asking you not to think when he won’t listen to ideas that will improve your home environment. Does he have any aesthetic requirements to be productive at work? This may be a way to express to him that a home is more than four walls. As a last resort, I would sledge hammer the counter. My husband has come home from work many times to see half the carpet removed because of rumored hardwood underneath and walls ripped out because I wanted to see what it would be like to rearrange the floor plan. It’s shocking to the spouse, but they quickly get on board with the new plan. After a while, it’s just understood that no is not an answer. [/quote]
