There are quite a few things that I really wanted in this house... and for the most part I'm getting none of them :(
I really wanted tile in the kitchen and dining nook, I really wanted black granite counters, and I really wanted an area of tile inside the front door to protect the wood floors from having water/salt tracked in on them.
I'm getting none of these things and I'm losing out on several more. :(
Now, I'm tempted to blame Theresa for this, and explain how she is bullying and berating me into giving up my dreams... but the fact of the matter is that I'm not getting these things because they just aren't good fits or aren't the best idea... and Theresa just kept gently expressing her opinion (and wincing when I mentioned mine) until I realized she was right.
For example, once we changed the cabinet color to a dark espresso, having black counters was no longer a good choice, and after thinking about the flooring for awhile, I realized that Theresa was right and that going with continuous wood was a better option.
I still harbor a sick and dying hope that in some dark corner of this house, there will exist something that is purely and uniquely "me"... but that's not looking very likely.
