Last minute structural changes!

So a lot has happened since my last post.   I was unable to attend our 14 day structural meeting, so hubby took care of all of the heavy lifting while I was available by phone.  Our buyer's agent was there to help and I think it went very smoothly!  We tried to pick out as much as we could prior to that meeting, but there was still a lot to go over that we never even thought of.   We added pendant lighting to the kitchen and the wet bar, and a gas line rough in outdoors when we are able to build our dream outdoor kitchen!

We also picked our house colors:

Not our floor plan or elevation, but these are the colors we chose!

Everyone in the community seems to be picking the gorgeous slate blue color (our first choice!) or red houses with tan trim.  We had hoped there was a dark green option, but that was a color combination we only saw in the artist drawings on the website and Ryan confirmed that it was not an actual option.    If they ever read this, they should absolutely offer it, it was gorgeous!

We drove through the neighborhoods for inspiration, and this was the one color scheme that we both really liked.  I'm not sure the pictures we took do the scheme justice, but we are definitely happy!

There were a lot of things that were connected that I didn't know before, such as our granite in the wet bar had to match the kitchen and the cabinets in the kitchen had to match the laundry room.  There are still a ton of choices!   After looking at other bathrooms, we decided to change our initial choice of Tahoe Square Cherry Bordeaux to the Rushmore Square Painted Linen like we had in the kitchen.  We really liked the idea of a clean white look to the master bathroom.

Our Sales Associate was really good at going on the high side in estimating our options so when we made our choices, there were no surprises.  In the end we ended up so far under our estimate, I was able to add the under cabinet lighting in the kitchen!  I am very excited about that!
