House - work

Building a house is exhausting and I'm not even doing any manual labor! Today while my mom stayed with the boys Chris and I met with the decorator to pick out many many things. We chose cabinets for the whole house, plumbing fixtures, and lighting. That may not sound like much but there are so many choices that it took several hours. I think we did a good job though and got it all done. We were also able to see some sample paint colors on the house and picked a stucco color. We ended up choosing a dark brown (like we thought we would). It's the color on the right. The stucco is up on the house but it's not painted. The bottom portion here will be limestone and the trim around the arches and windows will be the same as the top trim color which is almost the same as the stone.

Most of the insulation is in the house now too. This week the concrete stain samples will be put down for us to choose from. We will probably have one more full day of decisions and then a few smaller ones as we go. We still have to choose carpet, tile, countertops, interior paint, appliances, a front door and who knows what else. I think by the end when everything goes in we won't remember what we chose and it will all be a big surprise.
