Yeah, that's a major problem for anyone who has to design GUIs for a living. You spend goddamn hours tweaking and pasting and Photoshopping and testing and swearing and tweaking and restoring from backups and more swearing and blowing up stuff... Then you wind up with a neat little interface that you are proud to call your own. You submit it, and leave it for... Ooh, three, four years.
And then the boss comes and says "Hey Chuck, slap some more bells and whistles on this thing will ya?" And you're essentially screwed, because you are no longer in the same state of mind as you were when you designed the thing in the first place. In other words, you have two options:
1) Press the delete button and start all over again.
2) Slap things on top of the current design. It may not look seamless, coherent, and nice, but it will get the job done in an eighth of the time.
Never design GUIs for a living kids... Unfortunately, that's where my university degree that I'm studying is seeming to be taking me. Crud...

When in mortal danger,
When beset by doubt,
Run in little circles,
Wave your arms and shout.
