The Waiting Game

The last couple of weeks have been a little strange.  Besides the SOLD sign going up, nothing is really happening with the house.  That isn't bad since we have a lot of other stuff going on in our lives right now, but it makes the home building process even more surreal.  We are starting to tell more people that we are building a house, but there isn't any building happening yet.

On the flip side, however, we have done something REALLY fun with the house.  This Wednesday we will be meeting with the designer at Stylecraft to pick out our tile, flooring, granite, materials for exterior, etc.  So during the last couple of weeks, we have been going into the houses in Bryan/College Station that Stylecraft has for sale to look at what the different options are in an actual house rather than just in a picture or a small sample square.

Theresa at Stylecraft encouraged us to go have a look in the houses and even told us to get a key so we could go in if the doors were locked!  It felt a little weird to go walking into the houses, but it was SUPER helpful.  We are not good at interior design at all, but going to look at actual houses and comparing the different options made it a lot easier for us.  We think we know pretty much what we want and are much more confident going into our pre-construction meeting than we would have been without checking them out.

The added benefit is that we also get really excited about our house when we see the other houses.  The quality of the workmanship and the attention to detail is superb and we can't wait to see how awesome our house will be!

And in case you were wondering how to measure with no measuring tape...

This bedroom appears to be about 2 1/2 children long!
