Since I was off work today, and it's Ian's Spring Break (he's a 5th grade school teacher), my mom decided to take off work and come with us to get some house shenanigans done. Can I just say one thing real quick?
I WANTED TO PULL MY HAIR OUT TODAY!(like seriously...oh and I think Ian did too)
First of all, we finally decided on our paint colors the other day. Looking at the paint fan was so overwhelming.At first, we thought we wanted a neutral color in the living room, but then I decided that I wanted it to be a color, because I'm tired of neutral! Haha. So after much thought, we decided that the living room will be a color called Drizzle from Sherwin Williams. It's a muted shade of turquoise/teal/robin's egg blue or whatever you wanna call it. Haha.
The colors may vary on the computer screen, but oh well.
Then, we went to Bed Bath & Beyond and bought the adorable bedroom set that I blogged about a few weeks ago! This made my day. :)
We decided to paint the bedroom a color called Robust Orange from Sherwin Williams to match the bedspread.All of the other rooms in the house will be a neutral color called Utterly Beige by Sherwin Williams.Here is the tile we will be using:
And here is our carpet for the bedrooms (it's the 2nd one on the 1st row called Creamy Oatmeal):
Today, we picked out cabinets, cabinet hardware, brick, countertops, tile, carpet, lighting fixtures, appliances, bathroom/kitchen faucet fixtures, blah blah blah. Talk about a DAY. Ugh. I'm just glad it's over. We still have to decide on a few other small things, but for the most part, I feel really good about what we've done so far.
I never thought building a house would be this complicated and stressful! Haha. Hopefully they will break ground in the next couple of weeks.
I can't wait for the process to start so I can update everyone on the building part! Stay tuned for more to come! :)

I SO feel your & Ian’s pain about building the house … when we build our house I was the only one at home & had to make all the decisions … it took us about 11 months to build the house because I drew the plans & decided I could be my own contractor … so not a good idea
It's crazy! You would think it would be a fun process...which some of it is...but it's completely overwhelming! Congrats for your's being built! :)
