In which I use LJ for psychotherapy. Again.

I have come to the realization that the reason I'm having mental gridlock trying to decide on a tile for the kitchen backsplash (not to mention why all renovations suddenly ground to a halt)... is because I've got major buyer's remorse over the granite countertop. Oh, not in getting granite, but that after all that agonizing, I went impulsively with something that I don't actually like very much now that I'm going to be living with it for the rest of my life in that house.

And it's blocking me from making any other decisions for fear of falling further down the rabbit hole.

A small part of me realizes that the right backsplash and countertop choices will probably go far to reconcile me to the granite. but the larger part of me is fussing over making things worse with a second wrong, irretrievable choice. And a certain part of me is all "fuck the fear and the choices and go with the white tile and white cabinets you wanted and let the counter top be a novelty eye-catcher."

Appliances: white.
handles and fixtures: stainless steel
countertop: mottled dark brown/tan brown/off white/spots of cranberry

Walls and cabinets: ...?
