My partner has NO taste. I don't mean bad taste. I mean he lacks any kind of aesthetic sensibility. We are redecorating the office and because of the budget (or lack thereof) we are using furniture and art from an office that opened and closed in less than a year. We did not get to choose the theme but the stuff does go together and it looks so much better than the hodge-podge that was there before.
We finally got around to hanging the art work (because the painters finished) and he had a fit that we were taking down cheap posters and two really ugly tapestries. He brought one back from SE Asia himself and his mother gave him the rest. I don't know about the history of the tapestry she gave her, but it is old and dirty and torn. I am sure she gave him the framed posters just because she knew he needed something on the walls when he started almost 20 years ago. We ended up moving his stuff to a back hall, so at least, the first hall everyone goes in has good looking stuff that looks like it belongs. My other partner is having a fit because she looks out her office down that back hall. It does look like a tent bazaar back there. I can only hope than one day he will give up and take them home.
He is a great guy, but he is the visual equivalent to tone-deaf.
