It will work out. Just get plenty of blue tape and tarps!
I love the decorator for an hour idea! Sandy, I had forgotten about all of that work! My SIL did such a great job! I'm still not finished, but really I can leave it like it is. I am so comfortable here!

Here are some pictures. We decided not to go with the formica that was on the island - that was the black/brown formica that you saw in the picture with the backsplash tile a few weeks ago. We deicded to take the corner cabinet/office out of the kitchen and put in granite counter tops. I was going to get something traditional in granite, but not my husband. LOL! He loves natural stone, natural wood, and those kinds of things. So we ended up picking out some WILD granite. The picture of the whole granite slab is not good at all but you can see the color variation in it. The close up picture just gives you some idea of the vibrancy and color variation. You get to go to the granite warehouses and pick out the actual slab of granite you want your countertops to be cut from. It's pretty cool! After they measure your countertops, they make a template and then you get to go back to your slab and decide where they will cut the countertops. You get to over lay the template onto the slab and you can see through the template to see when is going to show up on the countertops. I hope our choices look good!
The picture of the tile is for the backsplash and it will be set on the diagonal, like the picture. I'll take some more pics after it is all installed.

Oh and we bought the computer desk today. We got a great deal, saved about 45%. We got a desk, hutch and 4 drawer file cabinet. The desk and hutch were on sale but the file cabinet was not. It had been on sale a couple of weeks ago, so Gary just asked if we could have the sale price on the file cabinet (I would NEVER have done that) and they said, YES! So we got everything on sale!!! Pretty cool.
We are having someone put it together for us. I read online that it was pretty difficult to put together and I know it would just wear Gary out and wear our patience trying to do it together. So we just paid extra to have someone put it together for us and so we don't have to worry about it.
