Upgrades, upgrades & upgrades!

We had a blast...minus the disagreements on paint and granite. We got ALL of our upgrades! Somehow we went over our $25,000 budget for upgrades but only my $3,000. We are hoping we can just roll that $3,000 over into our loan. My broker said that shouldn't be a problem. We were able to get all the items we want - whirl pool jacuuzi tub, granite counter tops in all bathrooms and kitchen, upgraded ALL appliances to stainless and upgraded the refrigerator to a french door one.. woohoo! Some of the little things we upgraded was all the faucets, door knobs, front dor, etc! Our main one was the boxed seat window in the master, sprinkler system, and our patio :) Here are some photos of the upgrades we picked out. They are from my phone so not too great of quality. We go back next Monday to "finalize" all of our items and then they start the building process next week :)

The fireplace will be similar to this, but will match the tile we chose

Our refrigerator we are so excited about!

The front door with the Texas Star - I had to have it :)

Our granite and cabinets we picked out!

Now its time for the waiting game! Years from now I am hoping we can look back at this blog and look at the building of our first home :) We are planing on taking pictures of the building process at least once a week, and then compare them when we have the final product!
