Everything feels like such a big decision. I literally deliberated on what sink to use for so many weeks, going back and forth among 4 or so different sinks. Pretty ridiculous in reality. Selecting stuff on Amazon is so challenging as the general ratings are high, but then if you read the reviews they can get scary and turn me off. Every single one has seriously negative reviews, but I just had to decide. A big challenge is the size of the sink and how that affects the cabinets and I want as big a sink as possible. This counter is only about 18" deep, so that really limits the sink options. And the big step that he's building for Zoe to get in and out of the bed, which she may not use at all, created a big challenge for fitting everything in that I want on the sink side of the van.
Another decision I've thought about for months is the material for the bench cushion. I finally decided on the cushion material and went for a bold look that I think will go great with the green. I was going to go with a denim blue, but it felt so safe and boring. Of course I could just jazz it up with cushions, but I'm excited for this. I haven't seen the fabric in person, so I really hope I like it!!
Thankfully I had decided on the Carolina Gull months ago - not to say I never waffled, but this was definitely the right color. I was looking at Evergreen Fog, but wanted something a little darker, a little more gray. When my friend Beth was visiting, I showed her this and she shared photos of her bedroom that was Carolina Gull. I loved it and picked up a paint chip and it was just the ticket!!! And then I was visiting Deb and commented on the color of her house and she said "it's Carolina ...." And I said "GULL!" This color is just speaking to me, so I know I'm going to love it!
I second guess myself all the time thinking maybe I should have made one decision over another. I can't wait until I don't have anymore decisions to make (oh, right, van life is decision fatigue on steroids and on a daily basis...). We're getting close!
