All Sales Final

...Well, not exactly final, but way too expensive to even THINK about making changes.

We had our second appointment at the Design Center today, and we were able to look back over everything we had picked last time.  We felt really good about all of the decisions, and there wasn't one single one we had/wanted to change!  B was officially proud of me! :)

Since I shared all of our "picks" last time, I wanted to share a funny story from our Design Gallery experience... I will preface this story by telling you that I gave Jani fair warning about Brad.  I told her, "He says things."  And that's the only way I can say it.  Brad says things from time to time that just make me laugh.  I ask him where those comments come from... So Jani was definitely warned!

Last week, we reached the portion of our appointment where we were needed to decide about our faucets and hardware.  Jani was explaining the differences between the standard chrome options, the brushed nickel upgrade, and the oil rubbed bronze upgrade.

I was pretty set ahead of time on oil rubbed bronze, as was Brad, but we learned quickly that was a pretty hefty upgrade because of ALL the pieces you would have to upgrade...If you upgraded the sink, you would have upgrade the hardware, and the lighting, and the faucets throughout the house...needless to say, it added up QUICKLY.

Jani could tell I was a little discouraged, so she started to talk about ALL the magnificent features that were included with the standard chrome Moen faucet, how great it looked, etc.

She then moved on to THE SPRAYER.  I've previously mentioned in another blog that I've been in apartments for the past nine (give or take) years...some of those apartments were without any bells and whistles, which on more than one occasion included the vegetable sprayer in the kitchen.  Needless to say, I've come to greatly appreciate a vegetable sprayer...and I let Jani know it.  I was even more excited that the faucet and vegetable sprayer were an all-in-one package.

As we were talking about, Jani pointed out that because this one is pulled out SO often, they took the tubing out so that it wouldn't get broken...or maybe it was missing because it had already been broken...but anyways, the handle/sprayer was not attached to the sink faucet.

We moved on to talk about other things, but Brad just kept going back to this "Amazing Sink Faucet" we were getting.  I thought at first he was just trying to make me feel better about not having oil rubbed bronze...then I thought he was just being sarcastic.

Then it dawned on me...he thought this faucet we were getting was WIRELESS.  He had missed the memo that the piece was intentionally missing and thought that he was going to be able to take the faucet with him...anywhere...and use it?!  There are no words...  We laughed until we cried.  We laughed until we couldn't laugh anymore, and then we laughed some more.  We laughed so hard we couldn't even talk.

Like I said...I warned her, "He says things!" :)

THE "wireless" vegetable sprayer - B is pumped ;)
