So, we got the house that I fell in love with!!!! There was another bidder, so we had to go through "bidding war stress," but we got it for a price both we and the sellers liked. Closing is on March 20th...and we can't WAIT!!! I feel like making a paper chain and tearing one piece off every day (like we used to do in elementary school at the end of the year...or for any "countdown" for that matter:-) Needless to say, I am even more obsessed with this house than before! Here are just a few pics of the parts of the house I'm obsessed with...I love that the back of this house is as attractive as the front! I love the porch.....everything about it screams "cookout"!!!
I can't wait to sit on that swing and enjoy beautiful summer days!
This stairwell makes the house feel like "home" to me. My parents had a very similar staircase. I love the rails & spindles look!
I've been spending WAY too much time on the my PAINT program (didn't know there was a real use for that program:-) I'm thinking black shutters...what do you think?
As for Paint Colors....The Benjamin Moore Personal Color Viewer is also very time consuming....here are the colors I'm currently favoring. What do you think?
BM Crown Point Sand (below)

BM Jamesboro Gold

BM Puritan Gray
BM Georgian Green (yes, that's green)

BM White Dove (trim) 
I've also fallen in "rug love" with the Brandon Rug @ Pottery Barn (I will be watching sales and stockpiling money:-)
A girl can dream, right?

The house is beautiful! I know you'll love being a home owner! Congratulations!
check out Benjamin Moore's Historical Collection paints. I bet you would love it. Good luck with the paint colors!
haha You are so creative with the computer software-- I must admit I would never have know you could do that but it is cool. I like the color choice for the shutters, the black looks great!! I can't wait to come up with Beka for a weekend. I know you are excited and you should be cause it looks great!!
I love this house - and it is definitely true that once the house planning bug bites, you are never the same. I used to hate Lowe's and Home Depot... now they are super fun.
