Yogic Decorating
10.6.12
Since moving to Fort McMurray I've been doing a lot of yoga. Between the breathing {pranayama} and movements {asanas}, yoga is transformative. You cannot escape the calming, healing power of yoga.
Sitting in the stillness, I am able to see the stresses in my life differently.

One such stress has been this ugly tiger tail granite situation in my new house. I decided last week to take a high road with the builder, but since then {and after receiving super expensive quotes to replace the countertops with quartz!} I've had some time to really consider what I need {not merely just what I want} and gain some true perspective.
First - I'm lucky to have granite at all. I plan on decorating around it, and not with it. What I mean is, the current granite's colour scheme will not interfere with my decorating plans. I'm going ahead with my plans, and when the time & money is right, the countertops will change.
Second - There are MANY important and NECESSARY projects that will precede the replacement of the countertops. I hope Big A doesn't see this, but we have to:
- Get window coverings for the ENTIRE house!
- Redesigning Little A's room - since she's now out of a crib {so we need a bed, dressers, lighting, etc}
- Design/Furnish the guest room/nanny's room
- Get an outdoor swingset for the kidlets
- Paint EVERYTHING - like every room, every closet, even the stair railings
- Get new living room furniture & figure out
- Buy new TVs, a VitaMix, a Kitchen Aid mixer
- Change some light fixtures
- Buy mirrors for every bathroom
- There's probably MUCH more, but I can't think of it now
Third - It's only a countertop. Who cares?! There are many things in my life that require my full attention, and this granite situation has been unnecessarily distracting and negative. I choose to see the light and know that everything happens for a reason.
So that's my current feeling about the tiger tail granite. If we get a reasonable quote or we come into a lot of extra money, perhaps we will change the granite. But that change should not precede the basics like covering our windows so we're not exhibitionists :)
So thank you YOGA {and family and friends too!} for helping me gain the appropriate perspective on this stressful and disappointing predicament.
