It's a house………

I took a deep breath and opened the door…….I had NO confidence in any of my decisions…except maybe the appliances.                               But no need to worry…it's all good !    

In order to keep the costs down, we opted for a semi-custom house.    We were able to tweak some things, pick certain colors and upgrade appliances.   But the basics were chosen by the developer ( he is very hands on ).     So, most of the patio homes have a similar look……just like The Villages !   

 We're still waiting for the backsplash and the cabinet pulls.

View from kitchen towards entry on left…you can barely see the tall door.   The study is straight ahead and the guest bath and bedroom are to the right.

The study….it really is bigger than it looks in this view.   It has hardwood floors.   And there is always the option of using the outdoor privy.

Your room when you come to visit.   Nice view of the golf course.

From the entry, this window looks thru the house…. There will be landscaping or something in that little nook.

Large window in great room with good view of the golfers on the Par 3.    The course looks to be in beautiful shape….very lush.

View from the great room towards the kitchen and the entry on the right.

Love the fireplace and the stone.   It's a bit warmer stone than this pic shows.    The surround isn't in place yet , nor is the TV .  We opted out of a mantel and like the simplicity.

We headed to Grand Junction yesterday and managed to choose bedroom and some great room furniture.    I see many trips back there  ( 60 miles ).     But, if you decide to visit, you'll have to sleep on the floor….no guest  accommodations yet.

I'm stumped about window treatments ( read $$$$$ no matter what we do ) and may call a neighbor's decorator altho the "Budget Blind" guy has already dropped off his propaganda.

Had dinner with neighbors last night.     Barb and Art were the first people we met here.   Paul plays PB with Art and when we were looking around this beautiful part of Colorado, Art suggested we look at   Cobble Creek and the rest is history.         She actually grew up in Newtown Ct and lived in a large colonial at the end of Main Street .This landmark  is also home to a Civil War soldier…..he's reported to be nice but quiet.   She confirmed this.
   
OK, time to get moving and go pick out drawer pulls…………….
