It seems like Trevor and I have been house hunting forever! After many many many discussions, we decided that we were going to build in Herriman. In the beginning, I was very against living so far west. In fact, the first few times Trevor forced me we drove out there, I complained the entire time about how far away it was, and how we were wasting our time. However, after we drove through Herriman Towne Center, I fell in love with the rec. center, library, 2 skate parks, running trails, splash pad and parks that would all be within walking distance from our house. I knew it was where we were supposed to be. Once our town home finally sold, we were able to put a deposit on the lot we wanted! Our lot has a beautiful view of the Wasatch Mountains, and according to the plans there is supposed to be a church parking lot directly behind us, which will allow us to have this beautiful un-obstructed view every night.
Then came the most stressful part of the entire building process - the design center. We were given two one-hour appointments with the designer to plan your entire house. Just TWO. TWO HOURS...that's it. To go over all 3,000 square feet of our house. Stressful? You bet!
Of course I had been looking online for the perfect kitchen design, wall and cabinet colors, stucco colors, etc. But it's completely different when you are sitting there with hundreds of color samples, half of them looking exactly like the other.
Trevor has had an opinion on a lot of the structural options and a few of the colors, but for the most part, has left choosing the colors of our house up to me. Of course I have had many nights of tossing and turning hoping that I have chosen the perfect colors for the house that we hope to grow old in. Hopefully once we see it all start to come together, I will stop second guessing everything. Design center aside, it is so exciting to be building our house! We cannot wait to move in!
