And then we had to compromise....
So back to the kitchen thing..... much like planning my (our) wedding, I thought Eric wouldn't care a lick about color and style and to my horror he became quite stubborn and rife with things to say. Last night, I showed him the cabinets and - of course - he actually had opinions. For those of you who know Eric, you know that this is because 1) he is no dummy 2) he is frugal 3) he is the REAL cook in our family. So after some tense negotiation (not really) we generally settled on the Sierra door
in Alder wood
and the stain we haven't argued yet. I still like the knotty alder and if, as I suspect, the money is the same for knotty and non-knotty, Eric might yet capitulate.

Oh, I'm so excited for you and Eric. Be wary of the design center, the money flows like water when it comes to the upgrades. :) Think about every possible place you want to add in extra outlets (like under the eaves, over cabinets to add rope lights, pottery shelves, high up for wall mounted TV's) same with cable outlets (maybe in the garage for Eric to have TV while drinking beer with the boys?) and canned lighting. OH how I wish I had opted for canned lighting in many strategic places. (We added a light to the pantry. A huge help at night when cooking!) Okay, I'll stop sharing what little I know. Congrats you two! Love you lots!
