Our color selection appointment was my most feared appointment. The not being able to change something if I decided on different flooring scared me. When I arrived at the appointment, I knew already that I wanted a dark gray siding with a lighter gray accent siding, black shutters, black door and dakota ledgestone. That was my first mistake. We go in and Adam says "I have already taken away all of the colors and stone you cannot have." WHAT!!!!! Apparently, you can't have the same selections as any of your neighbors or their neighbors for that matter. My, I believe it was going to be graphite gray, siding was out and so was my dakota ledgestone. I actually started to tear up, I'm such a spoiled baby.
So I am obviously very upset with the situation and that I wasn't told about this rule before my appointment or deciding to build with Ryan Homes. Anyways...Adam then says "We do have some darker colors that I think you'd like BUT they are an upgrade! Of course they are! Why wouldn't they be!
Sagebrook & Irish Thistle was our final pick in the upgraded SCENIC SCAPE siding.
Fieldstone PA Sierra was my pick when I couldn't get my ledgestone.
My thought on this was the black and gray will go good with my shutters and door and if a lot of rusty, tan stones are placed then tan and the sage colors will go better than if I picked a gray siding. Whew! Anyone follow that?
Siding colors, white trim, black shutters, black door :)
That beauty on top was my #1 pick and the bottom was my second choice.
I went with white cabinets all around and gray for the island.
My two choices for granite were Luna Pearl on the left and New Caledonia on the right.
We selected New Caledonia. It went better with the white cabinets.

This appointment also allowed us to make the changes to the house that we had been thinking about. We originally opted to have the 3rd floor added but wanted to take that away to get all of the extra pretties I wanted. We were able to add the metal balusters on the stairs, garage door opener, tray ceiling in master, metal accent on roof, and attic storage.

Oh, I also asked if there was any way possible that I could buy the paint and pay extra for them to PLEASE not paint my house that builder grade cream. I got a BIG FAT NO! Wishful thinking! If you can't tell I really dislike all things tan, cream, and brown. ha ha
I also went into my selections appointment with a specific color in mind and ended up leaving with a totally different color scheme. I'm sooooooo scared I won't like it when its finished. We choose elevation E for our Venice.
