Color Selection - Part 1

We went to our color selection last Thursday and it gave me a bad headache! (Is there a good headache?:P)

We spent two hours already and we aren't even half-way through.

I thought I was already prepared before I went there, because I already have some colors in mind. But geesh! I didn't know you have to select each and every color that will go with the house. They even ask you to select the color of the fascia or whatever is that called. Well, it's that horizontal thingie under the roof, just below the gutter. (I don't even know how to spell it. :P) And yes, you even have to choose a color for the gutter. As far as I can remember, our gutter in Pinas has always been silver. (Natural color of Aluminum/steel that is!) Or maybe I'm just wrong.

Anyway, we finished the colors for the Roof, Fascia (?), Gutter, Garage door, Entry door, Window frames, Carpets, and tiles.

The next appointment(Another gruelling 2 hours!) would be for the kitchen cabinets, wall and ceiling color.

Actually, we already started with my kitchen cabinets. But the sales consultant was so shocked with my request that she suggested that I go home first and continue with our color selection next time when my eyes are fresh and my mind is clear. Ahahaha!
Her exact words were "I am surprised. And shocked. I've never come across such a request. Are you sure with that?" I told her, yeah I'm sure with it. It's a make or break decision and I just hope I make it. If in case I break it, I said it won't matter as people (polite as they are,or in some lingo plastic as they are. hehehe) won't tell it to my face that I made a freaking decision on my cabinet colors. Worst thing that they could tell is that it looks different. And the worst thing that could happen if I don't like the result is that I wouldn't cook as much as I do now, so my DH will be forced to go into a diet and that is not totally a bad thing at all. So, yes I am going with my crazy color scheme.

And now for the walls... really haven't decided yet. We are still in the process of trying to imagine the colors that will blend with my kitchen cabinets! Mwehehehe.
