I took my girl friend, Karen, and her daughter, Jade, with me to the home building center Saturday. Looked at the options for cabinets, countertops, appliances, fireplaces, carpet, vinyl flooring, exterior colors, rock and brick, and bathrooms. Textured or untextured walls, 2 or 6 panel doors? Natural or Spice cabinets? Square, Roman or Cathedral cabinets? Traditional or Rustic? AHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!
It was fun, but so much to choose from, and not a whole lot of money. So now I need to go back with my questions and find out if some of the options can be completed after the home is built. Like, hiring someone to come do the job for me when I have enough money. Fell in love with the fireplace though. Hmmmmm. I would really like the kitchen island too...but...maybe I can just buy that separate at a later date?
I still think I want to go with the ceiling height cabinets, and a backsplash for the kitchen sink, and maybe even the overhang for the countertop.
I figure, I will go with the cheap vanities and counters in the bathrooms and just replace them later with what I really want. And the cheap lighting that is included with the house. I just dont want to replace the kitchen, carpeting and doors. All else, I think I can live with...
After our hours of fun of creating an unreasonably priced home, we went to Mimi's Cafe for some lunch and wonderful company.
Too much to think about. Still thinking about it. Hope I can make this dream come true. Pray for me!
