So, there’s the deck. Concrete tomorrow. Party soon!
Yesterday, we came home and made a list of what still needs to be purchased. The list is daunting. The rental garage is chock-full of items and there is so much more to do. Yesterday, we walked into several flooring stores and started to look at flooring for the upstairs loft area. So many choices. We thought about a fabuolous white-washed oak laminate. Then we dug deeper and had concerns about laminate. Bamboo? So green! So beautiful. So pricey. However, we keep reminding ourselves that this is IT for us. There won’t be another house. We want this to be fabulous and at the same time we want to be able to have a cup of rice now and then.
Then we started looking at backsplashes and tile for the shower and flooring for the bathroom and after a very brief time our heads were spinning. Eyes glazed over. We went to three stores. Minds had been blown. Hence, the list making. We need to focus on one thing.
So, we just made a decision about our kitchen cabinets. I can’t tell you how good that feels. Hickory. Love it. Local custom carpenter – love it even more. Did I mention we are supposed to be in a home show? Up the ante, my friends.
