As of Friday, August 21, we are CLOSED and all set with our beautiful 4.97 acres of land and a construction loan that will eventually turn into a mortgage on the house that we are building. It was a simultaneously awesome and terrifying experience to write the biggest check I have ever and may ever write, but after a 19 day lapse, we are (theoretical) home owners again and thrilled about it!
This also means that we have about a week and a half to go before things really get real, and we start making choices that will turn into actual elements in and on our home. In the age of Pinterest and social media, this is where things get tough. There are too many cool ideas out there.
