Kitchen Countertops

The house is really getting close to completion! Yesterday, they put in the kitchen countertops, and there is actually a funny story to go with them too!

Yesterday morning, I stopped at the house to do a little cleaning. I only stayed about an hour, and then had to leave to walk Sasha and take care of some other things. Now, when I chose the color for the countertops, I had narrowed it down to two choices. One was a black with some tan and white in it, and the other was a tan with some black and white in it. I was really having a hard time deciding which one I wanted, but I ended up going with the tan. While I was at the house, I was looking around the kitchen, and realized that now that I could see everything all together, that I thought the black would actually look better. I almost called our contractor to ask him if it was too late to change the color. I didn't because I knew that it had to be too late, and went on my way. Later that evening, Aaron and I stopped at the house again so he could see the updates. It really had been too late to change the color, because the countertops were in. The amazing part- they were the black countertops instead of the tan!

I have no idea if I wrote down the wrong color or if the building supply company ordered the wrong one, but thankfully it doesn't matter. Aaron told our builder at church this morning that it was the wrong one, and he totally thought it might be his fault and said they would take them out and put the correct color in at no cost. Aaron then of course told him that I love the color, and had actually decided before seeing what happened that I wanted the black.

We have black handles to put on the cabinets, which I think will really tie everything together. I am loving the kitchen!
