I have given myself permission to buy whatever I have been wanting and can afford. To me it is a reward for what I am dealing with day to day and validation that my wants and needs are just as important as his. Your husband may react again when the furniture arrives as it is a change in his environment. I wouldn't apologize just tell him how much you like it and that it makes you happy to have it. My husband did not do well with change even before he had dementia. So I just tell him what he needs to know when he needs to know it. I only want to have to deal once with a negative reaction. Works for me.
