Somebody slap me!!

16 years ago

Kitchen demo is in a month. I need to get final details (sink, vent, microwave, paint colors) to our cabinetmakers asap. And now?

I'm dithering!

My husband came home today with another marble sample. Which I loved. LOVED. And I start thinking about how the veining would look spectacular across the long stove/sink run instead of all minged up in a 48" run. And how it looks awesome with the Cooking Apple Green. And. And. And.

Seriously. Someone slap me.

I finally slathered some lime juice on the unsealed sample just so it would look awful and remind me just why I was only using marble on the fridge run. And why the Beleza would look spectacular and be practical on the long run.

Fireclay? Stainless?

Cooking Apple Green? Old White? Which one on the main run? Which one with which counter?

I was doing so well. Chugging along. Making choices. And now it's crunch time and put-up-your-money time, and I'm collapsing like a wet noodle.

I have my wine. Haven't even begun demo yet. I'm a wimp.

This made me laugh - just because I am right there with you. Spent an hour and 45 minutes with the GC today going through my list of questions. Which I PROMISED myself I was going to ask them all, no matter how silly, since I wrote them down. I have all fingers and all toes crossed that this guy comes through for me and we get a fabulous kitchen AND experience.
Demo is currently scheduled for 6/28 and I am out of boxes with LOTS of kitchen left to pack.

hang in there - we will get through this together!

I am reminded of that sceen from Moonstruck where Cher slaps Nicolas Cage across the face and yells, "SNAP OUT OF IT!!!"

@allie22031 Ha! that was me as well on Tuesday, sitting with my GC, going thru the list of questions I had written down. I have to say, my GC is amazing... he's done other wotk on my house in the past... but this is my KITCHEN... the room I've been dreaming of doing for 12 years! So it's very serious stuff, you know? Anyway, he answered each and every single question in a super cool manor, and when I was finished with the last question he was like, "That's it? You don't have any more for me?"

I love Moonstruck, btw.

@pickle2: it sounds like we're in the same stage of the planning. All the last minute little things have to be picked out and ordered. I'm making a promise to myself to just make the last of my decisions and not beat myself up over my choices. I'm gonna go with my guy instincts and it's all gonna be ok. Maybe you can, too!
