Interior choices at CR Floors

We made so many decisions last weekend! We had our meeting at CR floors to pick our granite, carpet, indoor paint colors and cabinet colors. It was a lot of decision making in a small amount of time. Here is a sample of some of the stuff we chose! Below is the mosaic tile for the downstairs and upstairs spare bathrooms.

This is the tile for the master bath and kitchen, and carpet color. We chose not to do the tile with the swirls in it and are replacing it with the mosaic tiles above.
This is the slate color for the fireplace, granite slab for the kitchen and the cabinet color for the whole house.
We are so excited to see it all go into the house. Since we picked all of the colors and such we feel like it will feel like home right away.

Our House Color

We searched high and low for a house color we like. These are the colors we went with except that our trim will be whiter. We both have been big fans of dark houses so this fit perfectly! It will still be a while before our house is painted but we can't wait.

Last weekend Matt was itching to get over to the house and work on the yard, but since the house isn't done yet he couldn't. So he did the next best thing. We noticed that the next door neighbors, who just moved in, were starting to put up their fence, so Matt went over and helped Dusty and Kristen with their yard!

They managed to put in most of the fence posts on a very hot day. Of course I had to stop by to take pictures of Matt doing manly work in the backyard!
How cute is he!

Our first house!

Hi everyone! A few weeks ago, after a stressful week of negotiations, our offer was accepted and we began the process of buying our first home. We are starting this blog to update everyone on the status of our new house, which is under construction and should be finished in a few months. We are incredibly excited to see our house get finished and to move in (after the wedding). When we bought the house, it was framed out with the siding on, but there are still so many decisions still to make.

Last week, we met with the cabinet company to talk about the design of the kitchen and other cabinets in the house. Jamie thought it was very important to have adequate wine storage, so we replaced the built-in desk with a lower cabinet and upper wine rack.

This morning we met with the electrician. We walked through the house with him and decided to upgrade a few things: under cabinet lighting and a ceiling fan in the master bedroom. Matt also added wiring in the theater (bonus) for a projector so we can watch movies on the big screen (someday). We wish we could afford air conditioning but that is not in the budget right now!

Next up: meetings with low voltage and interior design. Stay tuned...

Here are some pictures of what the house will look like and the layout. Our model is flipped from what the diagram and pictures show.
