Our house is coming along! We've been picking things right and left - everything is completely custom, so we have to pick colors and materials for things you'd never imagine, even things no one really sees! That's been keeping us busy. Last weekend we picked granite, lighting (chandeliers all over!), and the mantel, and we're starting to get a handle on paint. The framing is almost finished, and so is the heating. This week I think they're doing the roof!
This house has a lot of new things compared to our previous house: There's more square footage, a third car garage, granite throughout the whole house, a barrel ceiling into the master, double sinks, coffered ceilings in the living room and master, and Griffin's room will have a 10 foot ceiling. We're doing tile tub and shower surrounds and a tile back splash in the kitchen, and I finally get my big walk-in closet :) Also, the outside of the home will be mostly hardy board and stone. We're doing a dog room (I know, we're crazy, but we have a big dog and she needs her own space instead of having to put her kennel in the dining room), and the house has 3 bedrooms upstairs, and potential for 4 more and a HUGE family room and a bathroom downstairs. We're planning to finish the space downstairs ourselves again, and will be finishing some pretty soon after we move in.
Just in case you think we won the lottery, let me set the record straight - thanks to much better interest rates, a great sale on our old home, more money down, and having a builder dad who gets stellar deals, our mortgage will be less than we paid in our old house. However, it will come out to be around the same, since we have an HoA, which I hate...you win some, you lose some.
Here's a sneak peek:

We are so excited to see things coming along, and we can't wait to see the finished product!
