Axiom Home Page Forums General Discussion The Water Cooler CABINET SAMPLES

my cabinet samples came in today. i am looking at the buffalo oak, and classic oak finishes.. and the warm tan and burnt sienna screens.

i am disappointed to say that the classic oak is close to the color of my entertainment center, but not exact.. now with that said, i didnt 'expect' a perfect match, i was just hoping for one. now i have to decide if 'almost matches perfectly' is worth spending the extra $400 bucks, or if i should just get the blacks and roll the savings into a new sub or dvd-a/sacd player.. decisions, decisions..

i will wait for my wife to get home and she will make the final decision. wait, ha.. speak of the angel, she just walked in the door.. wow, weird timing?? i will be back in a few minutes with the results..

well, shannon wants to wait til tomorrow, when she can see the sample in the sunlight. we are a curtains open kinda house, so it is critical that she sees the comparison by sunlight. i can dig that.. no super rush at this point.

we both like the burnt sienna screens very much.. they blend well with the earth tones of our den, and we both think they look fantastic.

the sun comes up in 8 1/2 hours, and i should have a yes/no soon after that.. i told her to call me at work with the results.. either way, i will be ordering my new axiom system tomorrow night!!!

my feeling of excitement is at almost uncontrolable levels.. i will get very little sleep tonight. i wasnt even this excited when i bought my new truck..

have a great evening, and i will talk to ya'll tomorrow..
