[quote=Anonymous]I mean I truly think that your husband was trying to show how much he supports this new transition to WFH. Moving the desk was weird, but the other additions, task lamp, printer, trash can and hooks, are clearly utilitarian and meant to be “home office musts”. It’s quite thoughtful actually.

BUT, you cannot just suck it up and not say anything, because you will just be rewarding this behavior and reinforcing to him that his instincts about what you want are right, when clearly they are SO not. I’m guessing this isn’t the first time you’ve just put and shut up so you don’t appear ungrateful, and now he doesn’t know your taste at all but thinks he does.

Tell him you loved the note and that all of it was so thoughtful, and can he please help you put the desk back to where it was? And then, good call on the trash can—I’m going to order one that matches the space! I don’t really need hooks, but I like the idea of putting something on the wall there! Thanks for that (and then find your own art, shelf, corkboard, whatever) etc etc

(If he got the printer more for himself and not you, then nvm what I said, he sucks, make him put it in his own office)[/quote]
