Going to the showroom...

was a lot of fun and also a little overwhelming. It's very hard to picture the final finished product, but we think we made some good choices and are excited to see our home when it's finished. We'll share pics at each stage of the building process. :-) This is all so exciting!

Our Garden Tub with Shower

This is our garden tub with shower that will be in the master bathroom.

Master Bathroom Tile

This is the tile that we chose for the master bathroom.

Cabinets over Potty

We chose to also add cabinets over the potty in the kids' bathroom, so this just shows that too.

Kids' Bathroom

This is what will be in the kids' bathroom. We just changed the cabinet space a little bit so that the right side will all be pull out drawers for them.

The Bath Lights

The bath lights will be like these...just all in chrome.

Lighting Package

We chose to just pick the included light package and not upgrade anything. We're going to pick out our own stuff with time and we're having them block and wire for the ceiling fans that we'll eventually get in the living room and the bedrooms. These just show all the lights that will be in the breakfast nook, bedrooms, and all that.

The doors and hardware

The doors that we chose for all the bedrooms and such are all 6-panel doors and the hardware for the knobs and such are all like this picture...all satin nickel.

Countertop in Kitchen

the picture we took didn't really turn out, but here is the sample picture that I found online. The color is called "neutral glaze."

Kitchen Sink

Here's the kitchen sink and faucet that we chose.

Cabinets in the Kitchen

The cabinets in the kitchen will have the crown moulding on them. We thought that added a lot and looked really nice. Everything will be the really light color.

Cabinets

The cabinets in the lighter color (far left) are the cabinets we chose in our home. All the cabinets in our house will match one another.

Our Kitchen Tile

Our kitchen tile that we chose.

Our Fireplace and Carpet Choice

Here is the fireplace that we chose. We also chose the same ceramic tile choice going around it. It's a chocolate mousse. The carpet sample that you see in beige is also the carpet color for all of our carpeting that we chose. It's a satin pearl.

The Niche Wall with Bookshelves

We'll have a set of 3 of these going along the niche wall that is going to separate the living room from the playroom. The bookshelves will face the living room.

Small Bathroom Tile

We picked this tile to go in our little powder bath (the half bath), and the kids' bathroom.

Entry Tile

This is the entry tile that we chose when you first walk in the front door. We liked this as we didn't think it would show too much dirt with the dark grey specks in it.

Front Door

This was our front door design, however we changed it a tiny bit. They had a newer model that had a small circle in the middle of the design and I liked that a little bit better. Our front door will also be the dark green that was shown in the exterior colors that I showed you earlier with our brick choice.

House Exterior Colors

The brick will be all over the front of the house and on half of the side walls. The other part of the side walls and back of the house will be the gray color that you see (big swatch). We decided to do our front door in the green color that you see on the little swatches.

Our Brick Style on Another House

This is a picture of an existing house that shows the brick style that we chose. Our home will not be designed like this on the exterior, however you can get an idea of how the brick color will look when it's on the house.
