Upgrades

I haven't posted anything about our upgrades yet I guess I should do that. So we are building the Naples model structurally the only things we added were the morning room, over hangs and elevation E. In our neighborhood it's required that all homes have a brick wrap up to the beginning of the second floor I really like that I think the neighborhood will have better resale and I really hate the look of homes with all that siding. Our brick is allendale hill and our shake siding is pebble clay with sandy tan as our siding and white trim. They only suggestion I would put out there to Ryan homes is that I understand they only let you pick certain siding/ brick combos sometimes for your own good because they have people design that kinda thing. But at the same time I think I could pick out my shutter and door color on my own. With that color scheme we had to have dark berry and marooned front door. I know the front door is easily painted but the shutters now thats a pain in the butt!

Here is just a list of some of the upgraes we chose

1. morning room
2. overhangs
3. elevation E
4. appliance package
5. upgraded master bath level 1
6. upgraded 2nd bathroom vanity
7. 42in maple espresso kitchen with trim
8. santa cecelia granite
9. gourmet island
10. optional study (instead of sitting room) but left off french doors to make it more open
11. recessed lights in kitchen


Hmmm I think that's about it. the pricey ones were the elevation and morning room but both were totally worth it I think. We didn't do anything with Gaurdian because my husband can do all that. And we went with whatever flooring they provide with plans to do our own hardwood later. It was crazy expensive to do it through them and didn't really like their options. So I will have to live with laminate for a little while.

Now I have top clean and get the old house ready for its appraisal today. All I can say is selling a house is the biggest pain in the butt EVER! We close in less than 17 days and it can't come soon enough! I'm so impatient I just want to move everything right now. We will be living with my parents so everything is going to a storage unit for about a month so we will have to move twice. And I never realized how much crap we have until now. It's crazy we need to have a huge yard sale or goodwill run very soon. I think I might have a form of hoarding that involves like 200 pairs of shoes ;) okay that might be an exageration. I only wish!
