More Siding

And one of my fabulous red shutters is up.  When I first drove up to the house today I kept wondering why my house looked so strange.  Then I noticed she had only set of eyelashes (shutters) in place.

In fact, it looks like they ran out of siding.  I could be wrong, but in any case I am starting to see my colors come together.  Now just imagine, my door the same color as my shutters?  What do you think?  

I also noticed workers delivering a ton of stuff from an over sized truck.  I wonder what goodies they brought this time?  New reason to check out my home this weekend. 

Dry wall is up!

I was determined to stop by the house today.  Pre Drywall was 9 days ago and the last time my PM spoke to me he said that they were waiting on the plumbing inspection before they could insulate and put up the drywall.  We I guess we passed because my home is about 95% drywalled.  I didn't take a lot of pics-

Family Room- can't wait to see my fireplace

Still love this window!

Told you- about 95% complete

Arched gateway to my new fortress of solitude!

I also noticed that the work on the siding has begun.  I was so torn on if the siding was too dark, or not dark enough.  I desperately searched the Internets for my exact color combination but quite a few came back with that icky 60's green color.  

Not too dark and with the stone we chose I think will it make my siding look a little greener.  So this Wednesday I will do a drive by to see if they have started that part.  

I also had a little conversation with my neighbor to the right.  Her kids were so cute, immediately trying to call her back over when they noticed she disappeared.  "Mommy!  Who's that?"  Don't worry little one, I'm not trying to take your mommy away, lol.  

PS- my "L" key is stuck.  Do you know how annoying it is to type a whole post and having to pause to pound the darn key so that it will type? Ugh! 

PPS- just found out you can set the time for your blog!  Now I know you guys wasn't answering me at ungodly hours of the night,  

UGGHHH!

Two things:  I changed the title of the blog.  My husband did not like the original title and I must admit it was a bit unoriginal.  I might leave the url the same.

AND- I am desperately trying to find an example of our exterior color choices.  I mean I FOUND an example of our exterior color choices and even showed my husband.  And it was so easy, the first time.  For the life of me I cannot, I mean CAN NOT find that image again.  I know it was a still from a video so I have been scanning all the Ryan home vids and I have yet to find anything.
I would have been happy and tossed my desperate search to the side had I been allowed to snap a photo of our color scheme from the book, but my husband wouldn't let me.  The kids and I tend to linger when ever we go to the model home and he wanted to be home in time for the Eagles game (after we took the kids trick or treating of course.  Yes on a Sunday)

Thus I am a maniac trying to find THE image again.  I think they even had our stone!  (Totally different community. So far we seem to be only one who have picked the Spanish olive siding).

SO- if anyone in blog land can find the color scheme from Ryan Homes with Spanish Olive siding, fiery red shutters and French Roast exterior colors  PLEASE POST A LINK!!!!!

Please and thank you.

Final Selections

It was finally time for our final selections- IE the exterior of the home.  We easily agreed on the Spanish Olive for the siding but the shutters and doors was another matter. I really wanted a red door.  Red doors are supposed to let in happiness and I really want my home to be a happy place.  Alas the red door selections were few and then didn't look well with the shutters.  The SR mentioned that most people just pick black shutters- we shut that down immediately.

In the end we picked one of their suggested color schemes:  Spanish  Olive siding, Fiery Red Shutters and a French Roast Door

For the stone we chose the option as it seem to capture all the colors of the exterior.

Other selections we made was to add two more outlets for the prewires and that was it.  I try to convince them that they wanted to throw in the gourmet island for free but to no avail.


We considered adding the wet bar but decided that it would probably be cheaper using an outside source, in addition this would probably be the person helping to finish out the media room.

This a shot of the media room in the model.  It's HUGE!
