My husband and I got this dresser hutch recently and I want to paint it red. Hubby says no way

Before committing to the final “recipe,” it helps to test small changes. Just as you’d sample a sauce before serving, trying a small patch of red or choosing a deeper, muted shade can help both sides envision the result. Sometimes it’s not about saying yes or no—it’s about adjusting the ingredients.

Furniture, like food, tells a story. A painted hutch can become the centerpiece of a room, just as a well-loved recipe becomes a staple at the table. Whether the final choice is red, neutral, or something in between, the real success is creating something you both enjoy living with.
