Productive Saturday

After my freak out email to the designers, both called me within about 5 minutes of each other and showed up at the house the next day to address anything and everything.  They also brought donuts and bagels - nice touch!

We talked cabinet "shadows", counters, islands, hardware...  I think we have everything straight.  The decision was made to add a bar stool area to the small island, which had not been thought of before.  Additional seating never hurts.

Later that day brought a trip to the granite farm to look at the two slabs of granite coming to the house.  A sink came with the granite, but there were several to choose from - and that took about 45 minutes...  A sink was finally chosen, how about we leave it at that.  Biz picked out a faucet (she has expensive taste, and would only look at ones where she could pull out the sprayer and use it like a phone).  We decided to do a sink top bottom for the garbage disposal to eliminate the need for an extraneous light switch on the wall as well. 

A few new lights were installed in the upstairs and downstairs hallways as updates and to match the hardware throughout the rest of the house.

I stopped by the house today at lunch time and the cabinet guy was there - begrudgingly removing the shadow.  I am sure he blames it all on me - based on the 'tude I got from him, but whatever.  I had nothing to do with that other than to say - it looks cheap!  And it did look cheap.  Regardless, he was moving the molding up to cover the shadow.  The granite guy was coming out in a bit to measure the countertops, and those will be put in on Dec 2.  After that, there will be tiling done in the back splash, and all the electrical/plumbing will be finished.  Hopefully, that will all happen before the start of the new year.  Ha!
