Do you have furnishings that aren't normally found in your or your SO's culture? Did it cause any discussion?
I've finally gotten DH to agree to ceiling fans, but I know he still prefers not to have them. (I'm American, he's German.) He readily agreed to a bed that's higher up than all the futons here, though. I think he's undecided about using flat sheets in addition to fitted ones - his favorite hobby seems to be undoing my "hospital/navy corners". ;-)
Hmm - I just noticed that the only furnishings I've had to get used to are hot water radiators and not having walk-in closets, AC or window screens. We were lucky to find a very old house (1910), so at least I don't have to deal with deeply vaulted ceilings on the second floor. Germans find them cozy, but even though I'm 5'2" I still prefer some room above my head when I sleep. :-)
