When I was pregnant I watched every single baby show known to man and now that we are building a house I'm obsessed with Ryan Home blogs. Seriously getting out of hand. I'm getting my MBA online and I also do most of my work for my job on a computer....but lately whenever I even touch a computer before I know it I'm on a Ryan Home blog spot. I actually hide my screen from my husband because I'm tired of his judging eyes. He thinks I have a problem. He's probably right.
The bad thing (besides not getting any work done for school or my job) is everytime I see someone elses house/kitchen/etc I'm look ooo that looks nice. Why didnt I do that??? ...Maybe I should submit a change request. And I have yet to see a kitchen like mine that I have really loved. It's driving me crazy. Like most first time home owners I just want everything to be perfect.
That said, this is our starter house and we are purchasing it primarily as an investment. 5 years from now we plan to move into our forever home. My husband picked out a lot of things in the home we have being built (kitchen cabinets, bathroom cabinets, and a lot of upgrades). The next house is all mine <evil laugh>
Thanks for commenting on my blog. Thought I'd return the favor! These blogs can definitely drive you nuts and make you second guess your decisions. Even the options offered by your community can change by the day. Once we hit our 30-day mark and couldn't change any options, I started to look more for DIY projects that other bloggers tackled.
ReplyDeleteCan't wait to see all the progress on your home starting in August!
thank you! I'm doing much better I think. I'm down to 2-3 blog visits a day :).
DeleteI love your blog btw. I especially like your posts on the model homes. I've gotten some good ideas from those.
Can't wait to see your home process and the final outcome!
