  1. Your home looks so cozy from the front! I love the shake siding and the colors are definitely a classic, elegant choice! 2 ft bump out is also very nice!

  2. Very nice!! I had not seen a picture of Elevation E before. That looks really great. Can't wait to see yours, and not just a rendering.

    1. Thank KevinC! I searched online but could not find this Elevation so I resorted to posting brochure pictures. I love how they created the two peaks up at the top! Stay tuned for the real deal!

    1. Thank you, Asia! Sorry, you missed this!! I am a city girl and never thought I would fall in love with a front porch! I guess it would be the upgraded stoop! :-)

  5. Hey Wow I am so happy for u...I know the Giallo Venezia is beautiful...tey have it in the model house and it looks stunning!...
    My sales rep told me tat when the time comes,we can actually go to the granite store and pick out the slab ourselves..!!Which I think is great,as these slabs vary in color..Make sure you ask your sales rep if you can do that.
    I am so looking forward to begin our construction!
    When does your start?

    1. Thank you, SuDe! I can't wait to see what your upgraded kitchen! I talked to my SR about the upgrade and she said it would cost $2150 plus she showed me pictures of her granite (Giallo Venezia). Her slab came out looking pink! I would be pissed if I paid $2150 for granite that turned out pink, so I opt to keep the St. Cecilia. We do not have the luxury to pick out our slab. We have to take the risk to see what they send us and pray it works with our cabinets. My prayer is for the darker tone St. Cecilia with the gold undertone!

    3. Our flooring lady showed up a sample of Giallo Venezia that had a pink undertone. We chanced it with Santa Cecilia, which can have a tendency to come out yellow. We got lucky! Our Santa Cecilia granite was installed today and looks brown.

    4. Hi Maria, you could definitely use the brown under tone with the Hazelnut! Score for you! :-) Can't wait to see more pictures. As I considered my color palettes, I could use the gold or the brown undertone. If it turns out gold, It would pull color from my backsplash. If it turns our brown, it would pull color from the espresso floors. So either way, I should be safe which is why I stuck with the St. Cecilia. Once I see the granite, than I can have fun with the paint and accessories! Too excited!!

    1. I was browsing the internet today and found a photo version of the cottage elevation E. I believe it may be the same elevation KevinC has for his home. Elevation E has lots of charm--so happy we can build it.
