You are about to learn the Ace of Spades word in consolidating households: "Clash"

Your favorite recliner, "Honey, it clashes with the loveseat and couch."
Your favorite art piece, "Honey, it clashes with the dining room set."
Your foot stool you carved out of a single piece of oak in 10th grade, "Honey, it clashes with my leather ottoman."

Here's how you consolidate: "Honey, I get the back bedroom - you get the rest of the house. Please let me do my room the way I want." This is the ONLY hope you have of keeping any of your stuff in your "consolidated" house.

P.S. 99% of a guy's stuff is worth throwing out for the sake of a good woman. Pick your battles, and before you respond always ask yourself, "Would I rather be happy or right?" Go for happy and ditch the recliner.

P.P.S. My recliner lasted 3 days in my first consolidated house. Some bachelor picked it up off the street. Lucky bastard.
