Lucky Number Slate
We are in the process of thinking about considering discussing working towards starting home renovations. We are significantly closer to it than last week, when we were only pondering a twinkle-in-the-eye of thinking about considering discussing working towards starting home renovations. We went to look at tile, which is absolutely the wrong thing to do. The ensuing conversation went something like this:
(We enter tile store and stand still for about 3 minutes)
Me: Ok, so what room are we thinking about doing?
MH: Hmmm. The kitchen?
Me: Ok. So, are we putting new tile down before we put in the new cupboards? Because we can't afford new cupboards.
MH: Right. Ok, not the kitchen yet then.
Me: I was thinking bathroom.
MH: Ok, what do you want to do with the bathroom?
Me: Well, since we're replacing the whole thing, I guess we should choose a scheme.
MH: A scheme? You mean a colour?
Me: Well, yes, but we need a theme.
MH: I thought you said scheme?
Me: I did, ok, well, what colour then?
MH: What are you thinking?
Me: I was thinking a greeny, seaglass, whites and...and (slowing down as I see his "icky" face)...and maybe instead we could do a beige-y, all-natural, rock slate tile, wood, shells...and...aaaaaannnnd....
MH: What are we doing here?
So, we are back to pondering a twinkle-in-the-eye of thinking about considering discussing working towards starting home renovations. It's all chicken and egg really. We'll know what we like when we see it, but won't see it until it's in our space. Hmmm.
