Still lined up on the runway waiting to take off again, so to speak.
Contemplating several small decisions in the meantime, such as:
- what colour grout - I like the idea of a contrasting colour because it is more interesting, except that having lived with the shadows between the tiles for a week, I think the tile pattern (tile + contrasting grout) would fight with the pattern in the counter, so, white grout. Boring but it should allow the counter to sing
- do we remove the tap and take it back to the over-priced designer store we bought it from because it seems to be defective? It is supposed to retract the way a vacuum cord does, except that it isn't, so the sprayer dangles, which is ridiculous given how much we paid for it. Avoid that store - sales people all out for the commission not the customer service
- counter stools. We found some we like at a little design shop in Haliburton, but the seat height is odd. Our counters are counter-height not bar height, so chairs are too low and bar stools are too high. I feel like I'm channelling Goldilocks.
- handles on the fridge and freezer or just keep what they came with. In the appliance stores, I love the look of the full length handles on the built-in fridges and freezers. Ours come with full-length edges you can grip - not the same. Is it worth the extra bother and expense or am I willing to make do?
