Close to pulling all my hair out. HELP PLEASE!

I'm not sure which countertop to go with between two options.. Not permanently staying in this home. I like the brightness of the wood, but not the variation in it, along with a few knots. Not going for a "country" look. Sorry. The other counter is laminate and looks like doo-doo brown (lol), but these are really the only affordable choices I have. I don't want to special order anything since I'll be moving. Any opinions are much appreciated. (The tiles in the images attached are the tiles I'm using.) Everything was changed due to a water leak. Also, I'm changing the lights to brushed stainless and adding some cans. Sorry if this is confusing. Trust me I'm confused myself. I think next time I'll ask the houzzers in the beginning. :) Pictures with both lights on and off. Also, the peninsula is staying with the butcherblock. The light really effects the wall and countertop colors. I'm exhausted. :)

    O.M.G. is it you Zaz? Ahhhh so good to have you back here. It took me so long to post because I was savoring over each and every flower photos. Love how you haze the background. Really helps you focus on the flowers. Your pictures fill my soul with calm and pleasure. I am telling you these are always worthy of a book. Those and your foods are missing out on a whole career that is just waiting for you. If there is ever a book tour all I can say is the sooner the better. I am ageing quickly. Want to see it on my book seller's shelves.

    Oh great bagels that look as though they could leap off the page and right into my hand. Pure torture to not be able to taste it.

    OH massaged me and I melted...lol I'll be back tomorrow morning. Had a heavy leg day today and then was on my feet all day... up at 4 for the gym tomorrow, so I need some sleep lol. Would've been back earlier, but he was late and it took me forever washing all the dishes...because the dishwasher isn't working properly. 🙄 I used to not like using the dishwasher, but now I'm crying without it and I find we use way more water washing by hand.

    Okay g'night everyone...sweet dreams. Will catch up tomorrow... I see you guys...just couldn't get to everyone. 😘

    Oh Happy, I am so sorry to hear about Maui... 😢 She is special to you, I know...but she was also part of our houzz family from the very beginning. Your stories about her always brought a smile to my face and her personality shined brightly through you. Please feel free to share anything you would like about Maui, anytime...it would be our pleasure to be your ear and support.


    Hugs, Xo

    Happy what is a brd wd's??? I don't know what that is but if it is weird or a problem, then Yep, it is probably happening or is about to happen to me.

    Finally, today was a success day. My Car Tags are in my hand as we speak. Check Done after only 4 months. I actually met with the mgr. of our DMV. She told the clerk hand her the tags. and in one minute I was on my way. Seemed too simple, after the many months of trying to get this done. My past experiences were terrible.

    Speaking of your great arrangements, my hubby got me this super cute Mother’s Day arrangements. Hope you wake up to it a smile. There’s a bumble bee on the handlebars and a Monarch butterfly in the arrangement. So darn cute!

  • 11 hours ago

    What a thoughtful arrangement. Love the bee on the handlebars. Such an unusual container for the arrangement. You can keep it and use it again and enjoy it all over. Love those kind of gifts.

    Flo, that is a beautiful arrangement! Your husband knows you well:)

    That’s a really charming and very clever flower holder. ❤️A artist friend of mine from the salad days got a mothers gift with a very unusual “masculine”flower holder as well. Unfortunately I can’t post it on here as it would probably be censored lol I’ll leave it up to your imagination. 😂

  • 1 hour ago

    Beautiful arrangements as usual… Glad to see you are still up to snuff on the flower end of things!
