Is anyone a decorator here?

I was involved everystep of the way and was able to decide right on the spot if I wanted this or that. We even built it so that if and when we decided to build on, it would be a snap. That's exactly what we did about 9 years ago. We added a huge bedroom with a laundry room and bath. We each have our own large closets and then we have another big spare closet. I love our room most in the house.

Janet, That is sooo incredible building your house in just over 7 weeks. You must have worked so hard you were beside yourself, wow!!

You were fortunate in many ways to have so much "say so" over your likes and dislikes of the home. My girlfriend and her hubby now are building. Seems whenever she mentions any wishes for her house they are quickly stepped on by hubby and his "man friends".

What a great idea to leave the house available for add on additions. Those large closets you have must be very handy!
