Color Selection!

Saturday we had an appointment at 2 with Christine to pick out our colors for the house. Surprinsingly Chris and I agreed on everything but the cupboards. For the house itself we decided on a greenish color, with ivory trim and dark shutters. We drove around the neighborhoods and wrote down addresses of the houses we liked, and then she looked up the color schemes. We werent allowed to chose the same scheme as the house next door or across the street. Only one of your neighbors had already selected their colors and the person across the street. Instead of having 14 scheme selections we only had 12. All but 2 of the houses we chose for the colors that we liked were an old scheme that wasnt offered anymore. The colors look TOTALLY different on paper, so i'm glad we went about it that way! We chose our tile color for the entry, which will also be the tile that goes around the fire place. We chose the color of our laminate for the kitchen and breakfast nook as well as the bathrooms. We chose the color of our counter tops, and carpet. We decided on the dark birch cabinets (which was what I wanted, Chris wanted the lighter ones but I LOVED the dark ones!) the colors themselves are hard to explain, and the names definately dont help! So once things get started and they start getting put together, i'll definately take some pictures and start posting!! We did take pictures of our dirt, yes DIRT lot. It will be so neat to lay them all out side by side and see the progress.

Yesterday we got the proofs of our invites which we both LOVED. Julie said they should be in by the end of this week, so be expecting them to circulate mid-july!

We have no plans really for the 4th. I think we might go to my parents and BBQ and hang out by the pool. Hope everyone has a good 4th of July!
