House Plans: Exterior

I'm trying not to turn this blog into a house building blog, I'd really like to see it remain more of a recipe/food blog, but I know that a lot of my friends love decorating as much as I do and this is such a huge part of my life right now that it's hard not to blog about it.

If you are like me, you always want to be able to visualize something. If I get an idea, I can see it in my head and usually I don't want to deviate that much from that picture (which usually ends up frustrating Charles since I can't always explain the picture in my head that well).

Since you have seen the colors and finishes for our exterior here is a little something to help you visualize what the exterior of the house will look like in the end.

I never thought I would be so excited to have a basement, but after living in South Carolina for 3 years, where basements are basically non-existent, I put having a full walkout basement on the top of my list for this home.

We have a meeting at the end of this month to pick out all the interior finishes so I'll post those plans for that blog =)

I'm so glad it's Friday, and I hope everyone has a wonderful Easter weekend! In a weekend filled with peeps, plastic eggs, and chocolate bunnies it's amazing to remember that we are celebrating the very event that our entire faith is hinged upon, the reason we have hope for a life everlasting.

"Above all powers, above all kings
Above all nature and all created things
Above all wisdom and all the ways of man
You were here before the world began
Above all kingdoms, above all thrones
Above all wonders the world has ever known
Above all wealth and treasures of the earth
There's no way to measure what you're worth


Crucified, Laid behind a stone
You lived to die, Rejected and alone
Like a rose, Trampled on the ground
You took the fall, And thought of me
Above all


Above all powers, above all kings
Above all nature and all created things
Above all wisdom and all the ways of man
You were here before the world began
Above all kingdoms, above all thrones
Above all wonders the world has ever known
Above all wealth and treasures of the earth
There's no way to measure what you're worth

Crucified, Laid behind a stone

You lived to die, Rejected and alone

Like a rose, Trampled on the ground

You took the fall, And thought of me

Above all"
