Final Changes (I think)

Hope you all had a happy gray Saturday! It's supposed to be beautiful tomorrow so try to get out and enjoy!

So today, I went to make my "final changes" to our house with our sales rep and as we walk in, I see Heather & Mike and meet them!!! :) Great couple! Totally unexpected! Anywho, so after the meet & greet we got down to business and made some changes!

Final Changes:
*siding & stone front, changed to Brick
*added 2 extra windows in the family room
*added 4 ft ext to family room
*added upgraded tile to master bath level C
*added garage opener
*removed walk out basement ;/
*added/confirmed our guardian choices

Now I will begin my two week count down to met with CTI. The PLAN is too keep the standard carpet and maybe upgrade the vinyl slightly...keep it simple basically! We added hardwood in the foyer & powder room, but we shall see...we will upgrade the carpet later on.

I took a few pics today during my visit to the other side of town!

 Picture of one of our neighbors Courtland elevation C! It's so nice and they are almost done, so it seems.

 This is my bathroom tile choice, I love earth tones and my favorite color is GREEN, so I decided on the olive green glass trim. It's different, I really hope I like it!

The brick on top OLD MARLBOROUGH is the brick we selected. I really hope it comes out nice! It's really different from the brick that I usually like. We are doing black shutters and door.

Okay so thats it for now! I'm beat have a good weekend people.

What we have done so far and whats next...

  1. Selected a neighborhood & home type
  2. Pre-approved
  3. Completed our purchase agreement with Pat our sales Rep.
  4. Picked out a lot and put down our deposit
  5. Met with our Loan Officer
  6. Picked out Brick, siding, and shutter colors (light brick w/ black shutters)
  7. Decided on Upgrades (at least I hope)
What's Next on our List?
  1. Meet with Guardian Tomorrow. (Leaving these decisions to the hubby)
  2. Waiting for Loan Approval papers to arrive in the mail (Loan Officer called and said they should be on the way today)
  3. Pick out flooring? CTI has not called us yet, I'm not sure what the delay is.
This has truly been an experience thus far. All of these decisions are driving me nuts, but I know in the end it will all be worth it.  I am a very indecisive person unfortunately and I know this will be a long journey.

 Hardwood for the foyer and powder room
 Fire Place Trim Venetian Gold
 Cabinets Andover Maple Spice (Wish they were a tad bit darker, but this was a free upgrade so I promise not to complain :)

Torn between these two siding colors, I forgot to take pictures of the brick...I'll get pics maybe tomorrow. :)
