House Stuff

I got to go pick everything out for the house this morning. It was fun, but a little bit overwhelming to do by myself. I took some pictures, but they really don't look anything like what I picked, so I'm not going to bother posting them. I went with the same counter top in the kitchen that we had last time. We both really liked it in our old house, and it matched well with the cabinets and floor. Everything has a warm tone to it, either red-ish or golden. The carpet I picked is berber, it's called glazed walnut and it's kind of a tan-ish gold color. They said that it will look lighter when it's in the house, and I totally remember being shocked at how light our carpet was last time, so I went with a slightly darker color this time. The laminet in the entry and kitchen/dining is pretty simaler to last time too, maybe a little bit redder, I'm not really sure. The bathroom floors will be red toned tile looking vinal. When I say red, I don't really mean red like a strawberry or something, more like how blond hair can have a red tone. Let's see... bathroom counters are a lighter color that goes well with the floor, I'm not 100% sure how I did on those, guess we'll wait and see!
My relater sent me to the subdivition the builder is just finishing to look at house colors there. I knew I wanted to try for green again, but last time when we picked out of the little color book we ended up with a mint chip ice cream color (no joke). So I looked at a few green houses and picked one that I liked. It's much easier to see that stuff big than the little samples.
Oh, I also got to pick the rubber baseboards for the bathroom, that was new. I picked two that I liked and let the lady who worked there decide for me, too many choices at once! lol
I think that's everything. I can't wait until it's done so I can see how it looks!!
