So the first batch of MANY samples arrived on Monday. I am less than thrilled. I had such high hopes for them but they just kind of make me go blah. The middle one and the one on the right aren’t that bad but not that great either. Anyway until the great big box of samples I ordered arrives I’m putting floors on the shelf for now. Since so much depends on the floors and that issue is not finished I am not moving on to paint this week but to Appliances.
I have this summer’s consumer reports special on kitchens but I’m going to join the website too for more details and longer listings. Yesterday I looked at fridges and I’m leaning towards this samsung. I was impressed with how well thought out it seemed at the store. However I do need to check on their reliability. I get really obnoxiously anal when I make major purchases. I’m struggling with the notion that I should buy all the same brand. I’ve heard it matters but I would rather buy the best of that particular appliance that I can afford. Like I want a bosch dishwasher. The most important thing to me is that it is energy star and works well and doesn’t cost a bloody fortune. So anyway we’ll see what I can come up with.
Anyway Justin got home late yesterday but I still made it out to the house. I kinda sorta have the start of walls. I was so excited. You’ll have to excuse the bad photo as it was well into dusk by the time I got there. It just doesn’t lookbig enough!
