You saw my existing kitchen cabinets were dark brown with silver knobs and the counter I built is dark brown with a white top – so I put on inexpensive, temporary white plastic knobs. Later, after I saw I would keep the counter white, it occurred to me that white and silver
knobs would be perfect. Oh well so I thought…
I want you to COUNT the little miracles/manifestations in this story. Momentum (in either direction) is VERY powerful and ALWAYS draws more of the same.
After my counter renovation, the kitchen
looked amazing & just felt like “love”. Suddenly, I knew it was time to fix the poor lighting. Yep. You guessed it. For two years, I was also bothered by the dim light and had to use lamps to cook comfortably.
Solution? Get a light fixture & have the handyman install it asap and spend the billion dollars on light bulbs (what the hell has happened to light bulbs? Seriously. I need a home loan to buy light bulbs! Who wants to pay $20.97 for
a light bulb that will last 22 years!). Sigh…
I picked out what I thought was a perfect ceiling fixture at IKEA and made my way downtown to get it Saturday. As soon as I had it in my hands I knew… It wasn’t the right one. I just knew I’d gotten it wrong. (Coach’s Note: I felt no guilt, no regret. I just wondered why I was in IKEA. I always assume I’m being guided,
so I am.)
I put it back and walked through the rest of the store empty-handed and made my usual stop at their big giant clearance room before I left.
In the clearance room – OF COURSE - God left me white ceramic and silver chrome handles PERFECT for my cabinet and of course -
$.75 a piece! (God knows I love a deal and seriously always sends me what I want on sale.)
