First of all, I really don't like making decisions. Really don't. And I can be swayed so easily by other's opinions. If they differ from mine, I find myself doubting myself and my judgment.
I'm really not that way in most areas of my life. I'm not easily swayed in my beliefs. Or my choices about what I feel is right or not right to do.
But when it comes to design, or something physical that I have to live with for a long time, I am unsure. Definitely not confident. For that reason I have never wanted to build a home, because there would be too many decisions to make. It is easier for me to do the best with what I have than it is make decisions about what I want. After all, what if I regret my choices and have to live with it anyway.
So, while I'm very excited about basically getting a new kitchen, I am also overwhelmed by the decision processes. What kind of cabinets, color of cabinets, counter tops, features, etc., etc. etc.
But here we are at this point:
Gary's very accurate rendering of the possibilities:
Trusses for supporting the bearing wall.
Moving furniture so they can install the trusses.
Trusses installed today.
See that last picture. I am definitely not having a desk and counter area that can become a messy place where everything gets piled up.
I know that the solution to that probably has more to do with changing my habits than changing the kitchen design.
But I'm working on both.
