Last week, I shared our whole-home design inspiration for the new construction home. This week, it’s all about what we actually chose (and why) at the design center, and I’m going to take you through it room by room. I know I’ve alluded to some issues with the builder and we are still working to get it resolved, but I’ve decided to go full steam ahead with the house posts because closing day is coming closer if we manage to get things (somewhat) resolved. Which I hope we do, because I’m loving the inside design even if the outside breaks my heart.
I have to admit, before building I thought making the design choices for a new construction home ranked up there with “eating endless cupcakes and never gaining weight” and “being able to take a four hour nap in a cabana on the beach while being fanned with palm fronds and spritzed with rose scented water.” In other words, I never thought it would happen, and when it did, I believed it would be a dream come true.
Turns out, making whole house design selections for a new construction home is more challenging than anticipated: especially when there’s no model to view, the builder’s selections are more traditional than your tastes, and both you and your spouse are famous for being indecisive.
