Mom and Dad DON'T READ this...tee hee

Well, visions of sugar plums are dancing in my head (what else to do when it's crazy cold outside?), I've decided it would be a good day to blog.

The other day I was driving to school (around 730 AM) and I looked to the east and the sun was shining so bright, and looking toward the location of our future home...and realized someday I could be sitting in my art studio with sun shining in! Paul is painting the bathroom today, and we are nearly done with all the "to do" projects for our sale in March.

The reason I'm writing this post, because on Wednesday we will meet with our architect to talk about a few ideas...such as will we be on point with our budget? I NEVER thought I would say this (I was raised with two houses that had all natural materials for exterior: cedar and wood siding...and my Dad loathed vinyl siding, and so I vowed to never consider it), but after reading an article on siding it makes one think. Siding has come a long way.  If the contractor from This Old House can put vinyl on his house then why can't we? We have to keep all options open. We are including an article I read about vinyl siding - it's making a comeback along with a picture of the color combo we love! Thanks for reading...stay tuned more to come.

Here is the article on siding:

 (This was a project completed by Martin-Riley Architects the company we are working with...our Architect, Matt, did not do this project but a representation of their companies work. We love the color combo of this project...and style is similar to the style of our house (of course minus the lake, but will have a lake view!)
