Floors and Foundation

Posted by – August 15, 2008

So yesterday I went out to see the house so I could shoot a pic of the actual lot.

Much to my surprise they had actually *started* I was never so pleased to see concrete!

While I was out there I met two oh so very chatty kids who live somewhere in the subdivision and one of my new neighbors. Very nice. She had the floor plan I almost chose. How she fits five kids in it I’m not sure. Anyway I am glad I have a nice neighbor. She appeared to be a bit amazed we’d purchased such a large house for the 2 of us. Maybe it is too big for us. I don’t know. I bought thinking it would be good to have the space if we ever actually spawn. Besides it’s not like I won’t use all the rooms we’re getting. Anyway…I found some more flooring I kinda like and I’ve ordered samples. I know we’re probably going to get it locally but I very much want to see what they are like in person and test them for durability. I’m not really looking at tile or carpet yet since I am less concerned with it. I already decided to do grey carpet and grey tile. He likes doing a simple pattern so I was thinking a light grey with a darker grey accent. I wish I could do subway tile but the labor would probably jack up the cost of the house and I’m not sure it would be worth it. Oh maybe I’ll add bead board to the half bath downstairs. That would add a charming touch. So these are the ones I ordered. I found them here.

That’s Vulcan Oak. What can I say I love oak.

That’s Wenge. It might be too red

That’s a distressed mahogany.

Also going to try and head out to the local place to see what they have. I did go there with my mom but I want to take Justin to show him. Since he unexpectedly seems to have opinions. Which makes me happy. I was getting a little stressed out thinking of making all the choices on my own.
