Patiences is.....

A husband who spent his one free day a week painting the mudroom walls, vacuuming out all the final bits of dust, and then cutting and laying tile for the mudroom floor only to have his wife tell him that she hates the tile (which is the tile that SHE picked out). 

He didn't kill me, or even get really angry. 

He didn't make me feel bad at all, though I am sure internally he was not very happy when I told him.

We hemmed and hawed over it, even brought in part of the cabinetry to see how they look together, and decided to hold off on installing any more tiles while I look for other samples.  It's nice that we now have the new cabinetry onsite so that I can see the samples with it, even in the very room, and get a very accurate look at how it all melds together. Though I hate to put AH through it, I'd rather rip out a few rows now than cringe every time I walk into that room for the next 10+ years.
