A Weekend of kerplunk, kerpluie

I am one of those nutty types who keeps design notebooks full of ideas for the kitchen, bathroom, bedroom, you name it.  For kitchens, I especially love the ones featured in movies like It's Complicated and Something's Gotta Give - lots of bright light, white marble, and open shelving.  But wouldn't you know it, when I found myself with a broken kitchen faucet on Friday afternoon (unfortunately to be followed shortly by a dishwasher on the fritz and a computer meltdown) AND a husband who was willing to run to Home Depot AND install the faucet, I intentionally left my notebooks at home.  Get 'er done became much more important than searching for the perfect piece and waiting a week for something fabulous to arrive in the mail.  (Photo from Remodelista.com)
