We toured our new house last Friday and since the walls have all been framed, we could finally feel what the space is like for the first time. Our living room is huge, the dining room seems like it is going to be perfectly proportioned for our furniture, and the family room off of the open kitchen is a little smaller than I'd envisioned.
All of the bedrooms are fantastic and the place is absolutely flooded with natural light from all the windows.
I've picked our siding (
James Hardie fiber cement lap siding in Timber Bark), the trim (an aluminum cladding in Silver Mist) and our roofing material (
GAF Timberline HD in Weathered Wood), and every element of the kitchen has been selected save the hardware, which I continue to overthink.
