Idea of what our finished house will look like

This is the picture that started us on the adventure of buying the house plan that we are currently building. While our finished product will not look exactly the same, this is a good idea of what it will look like. Want to know what will be different?

• There will be cedar shingles above the top floor windows (not part of the roof as the name would imply).
• We won't have the bright white trim. The windows will be painted in a cranberry trim.
• The color of the siding/house will be either a grayish blue or gray. It might even be a grey-ish green. But for sure, it won't be a bright yellow.
• The doorway will be big enough for 1 door, no side parts with the windows in it.
• The front four posts will be cedar posts. There's a total of 8 of them on the front porch.
• The foundation we have is actually a cement foundation and not a pier and beam as the one pictured.
• If we take any photos, you will probably see me poking my head out the window waving hi with a goofy smile.
  

This may not make sense in words and it might even sound like it doesn't go together. But stay tuned and I'm sure you'll see it come to shape. Eric has a great eye for design and color coordination. If you don't believe me, check out this photo of our bedroom he decorated:

And you can't even see the rest of the details he added to that room. It was his fourth wedding anniversary present to me (in 2008). I took the photo a few months ago with my Nikon D3100. I was messing around.
