Daily Dribble, Farm
Okay, they weren’t giant, but I swear they were attacking me. Choose me, choose me. I might be just slightly hallucinatory from a three-day marathon selecting everything from cabinet handles and door knobs to showers and the kitchen sink. We went with silver/stainless/pewter type finishes on everything–no gold or brassy–like on cabinet and door hardware, light fixtures, etc. On the darker, richer side with all the woods. I’m looking at a sort of light honey-wheat paint for the walls for the main living area. The cabinets are oak with a cathedral arch style, in “cognac” finish. I’m not afraid of going with some more saturated colors and finishes because of all the natural light coming into the house with so many windows.
But I’m exhausted, just exhausted. Too many decisions in too short a time. If had to decide between cereal and toast this morning, I couldn’t do it. And I can’t even remember everything I picked out, my brain is so dead. I just hope I didn’t make any big mistakes. Wondering….if you could do one thing over in your house, one mistake you think was made (whether you built the house or someone else did), what would it be?
