Matt and I grabbed some Chinese food after going out to the house to see how some floor samples would coordinate with cabinets and possible backsplash tiles this afternoon.
Here are the samples laying on a table in our south house -- from left to right: floor, lower cabinets, counter top, backsplash, upper cabinets.
And here are the same samples in our north house below a window. Matt laid some of the flooring sample out, so the lower cabinets are the lowest vertical tile. The backsplash is slate--we haven't really researched it yet (our selection is not permanent -- just getting ideas).
Anyway, back to the story ...
For the most part, in this house-building process Matt has been the cool, optimistic cucumber (who sometimes underestimates how expensive things might be), while I have been the numbers-crunching worry-wart (who sometimes blows things out of proportion and creates much anxiety).
When we picked our fortune cookies and read our fortunes, here's what Matt's said:
"Avoid taking unnecessary gambles."
And here's what mine said:
"Avoid compulsively making things worse."
Yep, that's about right for both of us. Gave us both a good laugh after dinner!

Also, here are a couple of older photos from the Easter Sunday snow ... it looks like a resurrection to me. Pretty heavenly.
