I finally made a decision and ordered the Beluga laminate countertop yesterday. This after spending at least a week in analysis paralysis. The actual Beluga sample had a lot more green than blue color in it then I thought (or that images on the computer screen show), but against my paint color it worked. They didn't have the laminate in stock, so it would take at least an extra week to get it to the shop. That put the install date around the first week of April.
Lo and behold today I get a text from my kitchen contractor, "you should have countertops by next week." Huh? I called him and explained that I had already ordered countertops because of the delay. He proceeds to tell me that he would have installed the granite at the same cost of laminate. Huh? So what's a gal to do? The guys (we were carpooling from a meeting) convinced me that a year from now I would wish I had the granite. True. I called the laminate people and cancelled the order at no charge. I felt crappy doing it, but I did it. I called my granite guy again and said we are back on. He said that he just cancelled my order. Now what? I decided to sleep on it, get my thoughts together when I'm a little more settled and then try again.
Have I mentioned that I haven't had an operable kitchen sink since Feb 27?
