The Fashion District For Cabinets?

We went to downtown Miami today.   Or rather, yesterday, I posted this a day late.  But for the sake of this post, let's pretend it's still today.    We were going to a showroom for a closet, cabinet, kitchen cabinet, anything cabinet you can imagine company that is from Brazil.   

The salesperson had flown in from Manhattan, her main office, to meet with us.   This was quite a thing to think about, especially since there is a lot at stake when it comes to cabinetry for a whole house.   We had been told by our architect that if we wanted to consider this company, they would become more competitive price-wise if we looked at having them do anything we needed in the cabinet/closet realm.  

So we talked and looked, and she showed us options, and they could do anything it seemed.  The height of depth or width didn't matter because everything was custom.  The finishings were different depending on how you planned on using the space.  It took a bit for me to understand that when she was pointing to the closet area when I was talking about kitchen cabinets, it really didn't matter.   They could customize anything to work anywhere. 

Once I figured out that, it made more sense, and we were able to think about things in a different way.   As we left, she is going to come up with some ideas for two areas of the house.   We are not certain we're going to use this company, although we like them a lot.   I don't want her to waste any time.  We'll know soon enough what way we want to go.  

All of these decisions are hard to think about in concert together.  The most interesting thing is one of our architects has put the house in an Unreal 3D Engine program.   He pulled up the house today and it was amazing.  It looked like you were in a real yard with the house in front of it.   We could walk through and see the trees on the other side.   It was amazing.   He's going to set it up so we can use the VR glasses and go through it at the house.   Amazing, really amazing technology. 

The Children Bicker:  Do you have a sibling?  Do you get along all the time?  Do you bicker and touch and poke and bug each other and then are fast friends again?  I don't understand how the children are together.  I was an only child.
