So my wife went with a "Jim Beam" motif in the spare bathroom, but I walk in there and see red floor mats. Then I look over and see white bath towels with red hand towels, and black wash cloths! It looks like the freakin' GA Bulldogs locker room! Diplomacy isnt my strong suit, and I already kinda blew up on her, a little. How do I come up with a compromise?

Tell her the truth. That was the look in the 90s but we're 20 years past that.

The red and black will mysteriously disappear, and be replaced with orange

Have an emergency (plan it asap) and ruin said towels in the process of solving said emergency. Then take the initiative to buy new towels and take the wife out and wine and dine her the same day as you learned that each day is precious (a lesson you learned from your fake emergency that you saved the day on). This is how I do things..........

What you do is do a Google image search for UGA-themed rooms and print one out. You then tape it to the bathroom mirror with the caption "Really?" She should figure out the rest...

Drop all your biggest deuces in there until the Federal Government declares it a Superfund site.
Then swoop in and change everything to Orange and White!!

Stage a "robbery" after a big gathering at your house and get rid of everything that you do not like that she has but just dont pick anything too expensive that she will want to report or spend time tracking down.

Simply replace the red hand towels with orange towels. The black and white will be fine. Simple compromise...

Ask her again after getting her hammered on Jim Beam. Maybe you get a different response?
