Day 10

Progress. It's a very different footprint than the old kitchen, but having lived 'around' the space rather than 'in' it for so long, I don't think the adjustment will be difficult. The floor is lovely - well done on that quick choice.
We're up against a decision deadline. The lights, faucet,  and pulls all have to be purchased and delivered, or at the very least, ordered, before we go away next Saturday. While we are in France, Ken and Paul will finish the magic. Appliances are scheduled to be delivered, as is the quartz countertop. Choosing all the little details is proving much harder than deciding upon cabinet styles or layout or appliances. Too much selection? I've said for years that I have commitment issues. It only took 15 years to recover the couch. Unfortunately this time, I have less than 15 days to pick things we will have to live with for many years to come.
Last night, after ploughing through pictures of kitchen lighting until our eyes blurred, we decided on the spoondelier to go over the peninsula / eating bar. Schoolhouse pendants, which I love, seem to need bigger spaces, according to the design magazines at least. Spoondeliers, I hope, will be unique, add just enough detail, and not be too big for the space. They have to come all the way up from Nashville, Tennessee, and their website says it should take 2 - 3 weeks. I wonder how much assembly will be required...
