It has been a few weeks since my last post. Things at the
lot have not changed much. There is still a large hole. See this week’s
construction update here. I am
actually really excited about the interior design phase of the project. After
the initial selection at the Design Studio I’ve had time to sit and think about
what I want my new house to look like from a design perspective. I enrolled in
an interior design course to help my design ideas play out. I have always been
interested with interior design. I designed my condo but the furnishings and
décor were on the budget friendly side because money was a little scarcer purchasing
at 24 compared to now having two incomes and purchasing in my 30s. I can now
really “afford” to buy those show stopping pieces without breaking the bank.
I’m really exciting about that! Although my budget will not be as tight I will
have some budget friendly pieces along with the statement more expensive pieces
throughout the house. Buying all expensive pieces will not go over well with my
husband and his budget restraints. Even with the budget restraints some items I
cannot see myself spending top dollar for when I know I can find it cheaper elsewhere.
A lot of research and shopping will be involved in finding those key pieces at
a decent price. See my Inspiration and Mood Boards here.
I randomly found your blog after searching "Ryan Homes Woodstock Model". I started reading your posts and noticed that 1) you're located in MD and 2) you're building the same model in Marlboro Ridge - exactly where me and my husband have decided to purchase our home at the beginning of next year! Your reasons for wanting to settle in this particular community are the same reasons why I want to move from Howard County (which I absolutely love) all the way down to PG County! I see you haven't written in a while. I would love to read more about your journey. Is your house complete?
