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?

"It was a cold wintry day when I brought my children to live in rural West Virginia. The farmhouse was one hundred years old, there was already snow on the ground, and the heat was sparse-—as was the insulation. The floors weren’t even, either. My then-twelve-year-old son walked in the door and said, “You’ve brought us to this slanted little house to die." Keep reading our story....

"Lamb-y, then whammy! Get some tickets to Miami! Snow is easing, but we're still freezing. It may be spring by the astronomer, but not by the thermometer. Mighty fine, then leonine."
