To think this kitchen is lovely and not too girlie?

[wheretherainblows]

We are thinking about getting our kitchen done and looking for some inspiration. I've found one that I absolutely love, but my husband thinks it's minging and too 'girlie' for a man to live in.

AIBU to think this is gorgeous and not too feminine?

What's girly about white units and an oak top?!

It is not to my taste and if it isn't to your husband's then why dismiss his opinion and choose it?

(Being girlie or not is beside the point).

Well it's pink. Which I don't like personally.

Could you do it in teal or something as a compromise?

Does he mean the pink emulsion on the walls? Because that really isn't part of the kitchen, you could do your own any colour you want.

Don't blame him!

I don't like the pink, not because it's girly, I just don't think it goes and would pick another colour.

As in he's worried his penis will fall off if he goes into it?

He means the pink doesn't he? If he doesn't like the pink then you can just choose a different colour between you for the walls.

Oh and if he uses 'girlie' as an insult, I'd think twice about him.

Just change the pink for another colour as I presume that’s what he’s on about.

I don’t personally like the mismatch between the floor, worktops and cupboards, but more to the point - it doesn’t matter what we think! If your husband doesn’t like it he doesn’t like it. You’ll have to find something you can both agree on.

“Girlie”?!? How the fuck can a kitchen be “girlie”?

I mean it has pale pink walls, but surely your husband isn’t so insecure in his manhood that he couldn’t cope with a tiny bit of pink in the house?!? That’d be ridiculous.

I mean I don’t personally like that shade of pink, but that doesn’t seem to be his problem.

This is a proven fact. Pink walls shrivel manhood.

Is it the pink that you love about the kitchen? Other than that it’s just a white kitchen.

If your husband doesn’t like it, you need to rethink and pick one you both like.

DH loves our pink and grey kitchen and he’s a rufty tufty Glaswegian.

I like it but perhaps you could go for the middle ground and get a mixed materials kitchen.

We've got pale pink in the living room it's looks lovely.Dh thinks so too.Its only a colour.

I dunno about "girly" but I hate it.

Saying that, my kitchen walls are actually pink 😂 I think we used China Clay Pale (or maybe Light) by Little Greene. Both dp (male) and I love it.

Ooh that is luffly @FatBettyintheCoop

This is a proven fact. Pink walls shrivel manhood.
Does it work the other way around? We have a blue bedroom, I’m worried I might be growing a penis.

I like it but the colour scheme is more feminine.

Your husband needs to grow a pair and stop being so insecure. If the kitchen was full of pink flowers and purple hearts he might have had a point, but kitchen is neither masculine nor femine. It is very modern with a touch of classic design and invites people to use it to its fullest extent. I would love to have a kitchen like this.

@FatBettyintheCoop Now that's a better shade of pink!

I don't personally like it but a) nothing wrong with something being feminine and b) why is pink in a room girly but blue usually considered neutral?

Like this?

Oh and my bedroom is a ballet pink colour and DH still has all the relevant man parts attached.
