I think I should just wait until everything is finished before I have a 'meltdown' hehe...everything will work out in the end.<BR/><BR/>Hi A-M...Wow! Four years is a long time to be waiting. You are right when you said eventually everything will date...tiles especially! My builder warned me that once you have made a tile selection, never go into another tile shop as you will always see something new! Well, I half listened to his advice, changed my tiles 8 months later but at the same shop.<BR/><BR/>Hi braveheart...how disappointing for you! No work since December is terrible, that was our situation last year...actually for the whole year. It has only been this last month that we have had a 'normal' house build meaning progress each week. This is the first time it has happened. I thought you would be in your beautiful home by now as there didn’t seem much to do. I hope your builder gets his act together grrrrrrr<BR/>Mrs BMrs Bhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10486373071405217991noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2239112229660168491.post-37353274006466785672009-01-28T11:55:00.000-08:002009-01-28T11:55:00.000-08:00As my build has taken so long (have had the block ...As my build has taken so long (have had the block of land for 4 years in June) you can imagine my decision 'turnarounds'. I am constantly doubting, especially now when 'crunch' time has come. I have been agonizing over my tile selection as I am attempting a 'timeless' look that hopefully wont ever date. Is that concept ever true about any house? Everything dates so I am fighting a losing battle! I have now pulled out of my Great Room cabinetry plans as I want to see how the room looks before we do anything. Ahhh! You are not alone!

However, you are not alone about doubting your choices, I have been agonising about my kitchen colours that I have ended up changing the benchtop to ceasarstone Nougat and considering painting the overhead cupboards and microwave tower 2 pac wattyl donkey (grey-brown) colour). I think I have too much woodgrain and the kitchen looks too dull. Regarding completion of our house, nothing has been done since December - we are probably looking at end of Feb or beginning of March - very depressing. I am glad there is progress on your house and look foward to more photos.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2239112229660168491.post-57138429144300898432009-01-28T01:36:00.000-08:002009-01-28T01:36:00.000-08:00I am freaking out about my colour selections too. ...I am freaking out about my colour selections too.

I figure the minor inconvenience is better than not having enough storage.<BR/><BR/>I was freaking out about my wall colours too, and had a few <I>maybe I should have gone for beige</I> thoughts. But so far, it's all worked out fine. Lots to do still. :o)<BR/><BR/>I'm sure your house will be stunning. It's a very stressful business, building.Kekhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02545413219256990483noreply@blogger.com
