We traveled out of state to visit with family for most of the Christmas break, so there isn't too much new and exciting to report this week.
We stopped in to see our flooring lady twice over the weekend (on Saturday and Sunday) to look again at what we had chosen and to take some better pictures of some things. We had wanted to think a few of the tougher choices over (all were minor), and we were able to come pretty close to finalizing our selections. We are having a surprisingly hard time deciding on the kitchen backsplash and bathroom listellos, I think because they were items we had never really considered before, so we still don't know exactly what we want. We spent a lot of our vacation down time looking at examples of each, too.
We also took a couple of road trips to visit several of the other Ryan Homes communities within a reasonable distance of where we live, including in two neighboring states, so that we could take a look at their models. We wish more people did a Strauss model, but for our purposes in looking, the Mozart models are just about as good since the majority of the both models are the same, and even the single family home models are fun to see since at least in terms of color and flooring choices, they options are the same. It has been a lot of fun seeing in person some of the design choices and room set-ups in the models. We have found that a lot of the models share a lot of our choices, so it is especially nice to see them life-sized and still love them. We also now have some good ideas of what we will eventually want for painting the walls and a few decorating ideas.
