Julie and I as well as the designer are getting a little closer on the kitchen layout as well as the bathroom colors.  Actually I have no interest in the “color scheme” but the efficiency of the kitchen is of interest.  I like efficiency and cheap while Julie likes pretty and more pretty ($$).  Luckily we’ve been able to easily compromise and actually we’ve been pretty much on the same page with most things.  Plus it’s been fun working and making decisions with Julie.  I was totally expecting this to be the typical husband and wife battle ground area.  I’m somewhat laughing thinking that maybe this is so easy because the construction part has been a migraine.
