Siding and Tiles and Stone oh my!!

Ok so going into today Jay and I pretty much had an idea of what we wanted. We've stalked plenty of houses and we knew what we liked. Today was easier than I thought, my indecisiveness was was in check today. First we chose Grey siding ( Flint ) only to be told the house that was being built next to ours was also going to be Grey. Grrrrrrr they had chose their stuff before us. So we continued to look and maybe a lighter grey but ultimately we decided to go with what we wanted. It is OUR house that we have to live in for a very long time and its what we wanted so oh well it the neighbor has the same color. They are not in the same model that we are. Next shutters... easy peasy black please... neighbors picked those to! Come on... next up on stone :) I was so happy to pick stone... I love love love stone and I think its going to be one of my most favorite upgrades. We chose a stacked stone in various greys. We are 95% sure that we are going with a red door but it has to be the perfect red, not any old red will do. Lastly for the exterior white trim. We moved onward to the interior. Again pretty easy! Cherry cabinets, Cherry hardwood floors, We decided against doing hardwood in the kitchen for fear of dropping stuff on it and denting it so we picked out a nice laminate. The same laminate will be in the laundry room and powder room downstairs so it'll tie in nicely. We picked our countertop, we picked a white with light flecks in it. We think it'll be a great contrast to the dark cherry. Oh we picked out a roof to :) We did carpet for the basement and all the upstairs room. That was pretty easy as well. All in all it only took us about an hr a lot of that was spent asking a zillion questions. Meeting with the mortgage broker tomorrow morning so she can get the loan application completed yah yah yah! The builders are going to finish getting the framing up, get the roof and windows done and then they said they probably won't do anything else until around middle of Feb since our closing date isn't until the 15th of April. They don't want to finish the house way before we close then just have it sit there so we understand that and agree. It'll be frustrating I am sure to see nothing happening on it for a little while but we totally understand. I will leave you with some photos from today..

shutters are a different design but same color.. also the stone is the one in the photo on the right

siding and the stone together. The stone will go all the way up the wall however.
