House update!

Oh, I have been terrible about keeping up with house stuff on here. We have been so busy picking everything out and finalizing the plans with the builder. We had a tough time deciding on hardwoods. We (I) want cherry cabinets. But they cherry floors make everything look very cherry. But the other hardwoods just didn't go well with the cabinets. So we went with the cherry floors. Hopefully it wont look as cherry as this picture of another house we walked through to look at our options.


We went with oil rubbed bronze fixtures, nobs, everything. And then our granite we chose is Venetian Gold 2 (or something like that)

The hardest decision of all was the exterior package. We knew we wanted black shutters but weren't really sure besides that. We ideally want white siding and dark brick, but that is not an option for our neighborhood right now. Stupid. They have just about every shade of tan you can imagine though. Grey and then sage green. If I liked the siding, I didn't like the brick options. We waited til the last possible minute we could to choose. It was between Sandstone, which was a light yellowish/offwhite. Or Dover Grey. I liked the darkest tan which was pebble but I wanted to stay away from tan since there are so many shades of tan in the neighborhood. We ended up going with the grey with Ceder Creek siding.



We had our pre-construction meeting at 9am on September 8. As soon as the meeting was over we broke ground. Yay! Everything is set to be done at the beginning of December and move in by Christmas! Woo!
