However all of a sudden stuff is happening again and every time we make the trip we hold our breath hoping we had a clue on what we decided on four months ago.
Was the color of the siding ok?? Does it match the brick? Do they match the shingles? Does anybody care about the shingles? We were given a choice of ten different shades, all the samples were about one by two inchs. Yea - sort of hard to make a real decision on something nobody looks at anyway!
Then there was the paint problem AND A PROBLEM IT WAS! We were given 1000 different shades of white and what we picked we THOUGHT was an off white, sort of a light tan.
So we step into the house a few hours after it was painted and IT'S YELLOW!!! DJ was visibly shaken and HATED it! Our first mess-up? Two days later we go back and it has dried to a MUCH calmer color that we can live with. The interesting thing is that the house as so many textures of light streaming in that every room is a different shade of the same color AND the time of day changes it also.
The hard wood floors are great and the trim is really helping the color of the paint.
NOTE - do not make judgments on anything until it is all put together. The tile around the fireplace is not 6 inch tiles like we expected but 3inch - however - we like it better actually AND they match the laminate floor in the entrance way.
All in All we very very happy.
Cabinets are going in a day or two and we looking to move in in 4 or 5 weeks!! Maybe!
Here are the newest photos.
I hope they keep the landscaping, it has sort of an . . . .Afghanistan foreign look don't you think?
DJ is so happy she is doing a little jig!
What you do not see is that Blake's leash is caught and he is stuck! This is from the living room looking south towards the breakfast nook.
Middle of the breakfast nook looking into the future kitchen and living room where I took the last photo. No photos of the bedrooms as they are square box's. The Master beroom has some nice features (vaulted ceiling, sliding door to the huge deck) I'll have something next time.

So you have to walk through the living room to get to the breakfast nook? Shouldn't it be off the kitchen? Are you sure you don't have it set up wrong? Maybe you should start over.
:)
It's also off the kitchen which is right next to the breakfast nook.
the 1st photo (with DJ) is looking from the kitchen.
Also you will notice that the fireplace does not have any "special" tiles (that cost us $40).
Great lookig house, I'm sure it will serve you well!
