The Way We Were

Can it be...that it was all so simple, then? Or has time rewritten every line? If we had the chance to do it all again (and by "it" I mean remodeling the kitchen) -- tell me, would we? Could we?

Remember when you didn't have as many choices? When appliances only came in white, harvest gold and avocado green? When you didn't get any kind of countertop other than laminate? When you probably didn't even get to choose the hardware that came with the cabinets? (I'm thinking that hammered black strap style that everybody's mother had with their '60s Danish-style cabinets in their kitchens. It opened the cabinet door, for God's sake. Who cared what it looked like?)

Ah, those were the days. These days -- I'm arguing online with my husband whether we should get soapstone or CaesarStone countertops. This is just too complicated!
