[quote=Anonymous]OP, I feel for you. Wanting to replace or repair/recover a 23 yo sofa is not unreasonable. What I’d do in your shoes is come up with a master plan. Write out your finances and expected costs over 10 years. Get a bunch of estimates for each project. Also, have a real estate agent or two come over and tell you what they’d price your house at now and what improvements they’d recommend. We’ve done this and friends have too, and it’s helpful. It’s free and they’ll do it hoping you’ll use and refer them. One you have all that, write out a plan for the renovations. Then you bring it to your DH and tell him you’d like to do this. Hopefully he’ll be more open, and you can prioritize. I think it will be reasonable to ask him to compromise, he can’t have his way by default. GL! [/quote]
