Flatzilla alert

Renovating an apartment is hard work. I don't mean physically, hell I have builders to do that (yes I do and yes they've started, woop woop). I mean mentally, totally exhausting.

Take floor tiles for example, they're all the same right? Wrong. In one shop we went to there were 4500 different samples of floor tiles. How am I meant to pick one? I may hvae mentioned before that I am about as creative as, oh, a floor tile. My brain is not taking kindly to all the extra space I am needing in my head to store, compare and rate different floor tiles. I have reached the point where I am so sick to the teeth of looking at floor tiles that when the shop attendant says "what about this one?", I just say "yeah fine, that'll do". But I can't do that - I have to live with this damn floor tile and it some how has to match the kitchen units (no I haven't chosen - don't even want to think about it) and then, THEN, there's the wall tiles, not to mention all the tiles needed for the bathrooms.

AGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH.

I wish I could wave a magic wand and open my eyes to find everything done beautifully.

What will I do when I have to choose furniture? Or paint? Tonight I have to choose a bath..

Oh God of Interiors, Furnishing and Fittings please send me divine inspiration. PLEASEEEEEE

After that ; I'm not buying a house until I'm rich enough to pay someone to do all that for me.

Im rubbish at making choices, especially when it comes to colour coding a room.
