Interior choices

These are the tiles and the cabinet colour selection for our bathroom, we will not be using the smallest tiles. The big ones will be on the floor, the medium ones on the bath and shower

OK, so the time came to meet with the designer and make the choices for the interior of the home. This was a major point of stress for me and I found the idea of it fairly overwelming. So I dragged JF on many excusions to try and figure out what we liked.

We went to many a furniture store and looked at many photos on the internet to try and decide what style we wanted and so on. We also spent some time at the model house looking at all the samples to try and get ready. I like to mull over decisions for a while so this made me rest a bit easier.

In the end the day went really well and it was not as hard as I thought. The designer, Julie, was helpful at telling us where we should put the lighting fixtures and as for plugs, well we had so many in each room, that it was not really a big deal. With 1 to 2 plugs on each wall, I'm pretty sure we won't miss any.


This is our kitchen selection, can you seen why we fell in love with the marble

We did screw up a bit with the counter choice. The granite counter top we chose turns out to be marble. We had asked the designer because after years of being quizzed by my dad about igneous, metamorphic and sedimentary rock, the slab did not look like granite, but she insisted it was granite. Chances are we will need to change it because apparently marble sucks as a countertop, but we will call the designer on Monday to check.

Let us know what you think
