Initial Exterior and Cabinet Colors

I tried to get a pic of the color selections we made for the exterior


Brick: Olde Columbia
Shutters (left swatch in my hand): Berry
Siding (middle swatch): Irish Thistle
Door (right swatch): Raisin

We drove around some other plans trying to find examples of our options to see what it would look like.  The Irish Thistle siding is a relatively new option, so we couldn't find many houses that had it, and any that did had stone accent instead of brick.  The stone looks great with the color, and we would totally be using it if we had no budget, but we're stuck with brick, so I hope this will look good.  The nice thing is, RH has designers that have pre-selected which color options you can go with.  That makes the process MUCH easier and I don't really have to worry too much about how it will look, since a professional has already signed off on it! :)

We also picked our cabinet color.  We went with the level 2 upgrade to the Andover Maple.  We tried to stay bare minimum with a lot of things in the house that we figured we could upgrade later ourselves.  Cabinets seem like they would be a lot of effort to change later, so we figured we'd spend a tad more money on them to get some nicer ones.  Now, we need to pick counter tops.  We're just doing Formica, but there are about a dozen options to choose from.  I narrowed it down to two that I like. Here's a pic of the cabinets with the two counter top colors I like.  I'll have to wait until we meet with the flooring people to make a final decision, but I'm leaning toward the one on the left.  Any thoughts??


So, we have a lot to do in the next few weeks!  We have meetings scheduled with each Financing, Flooring, Guardian, and our final meeting with our RH SR (Ryan Homes Sales Rep) to finalize all the details/pricing of the options we picked at all of the other meetings. Then, I think we play a waiting game until our pre-construction meeting.
