Paint

Just thought I'd let you see some of the paint colors for the house. The family room is going to be in Berry Blush. The dining room is going to be in Belle Grove Moss. The rest of the down stairs will probably be in Epic (which is a khaki) with the exception of the kitchen. The kitchen will be in a faux finish called Tuscan gold. Unfortunately I cannot find any picture of it. You can visit Valspar to see my palate. Once there, you have to choose the room, but it will be ugly because it is throwing all the colors together in one room. The trim in the house will be gloss white.

Best Things = Worst Things

The best thing about building your own custom home is that you get to pick out every thing that goes in to your home. The worst thing about building your own custom home is that you have to pick out everything that goes into your home.


Things I hate to pick out the most (so far): faucets.


I think this is what we are going with....



Brian picked this out because I kept giving him the look of death at Lowe's


More info about this series of faucets and accessories can be found at Kohler's website. The rest of the fixtures in our house will be the same idea.

All metal things in our home will have a brushed nickel finish.

Anyhow, as Brian will give you updates on construction, I will give you updates on the interior decisions, even the ones I hate making.

What happend to me?

O.K. I'll start posting again (with pictures) soon.

I have had a horrible few weeks and am feeling much better now.

I went to the doctor and he found some gastritis in my stomach along with several non-cancerous polyps. I am on medication now to help the erosions heal. It is a slow process and the medication is a pain to take as you can't take for 2-3 hours after you have eaten and can't eat for an hour after you take it. And as you can tell from my posts, I love food.

So it has taken me a while to get adjusted and the spots in my stomach are starting to feel better. Although the pain in the back is not.

I have an appointment in February to check on my progress.

This week at school we have semester exams and have to work on Monday (martin Luther King Day). Huh...do you think it's stress that causes the gastritis?

I am sorry I ruined everyone vacation.
