How It All Began

I know this blog is getting off to a slow start, but it'll be good, I promise. Keep checking for updates.

I thought before we went right into pictures on the building and such of this house we're making a home, I'd explain how it all started, as that's interesting in itself. It all started on a beautiful spring Sunday drive. We had no place to go, just driving around, thinking about going to the winery in Avondale we love so much. We saw little signs for a model home and the builder was Wilkinson. DH mentions that he was reading good things about their houses in Delaware Today magazine. We like going to visit model homes for fun, so we started following the signs off onto some country roads. On the way there, we found ourselves crossing the border into PA. Woo hoo! I'm a PA girl and was very excited to see a PA model home.

We found the house and it was breathtaking. Usually when DH and I walk through a model home, we find about 10 things we would change in that house. We didn't see any thing we would change - other than the blue and white color scheme throughout the decor of the house. A curved staircase in the foyer, a back staircase from the family room, a quiet closed off home office, sunroom off the kitchen, optional conservatory, high ceilings in the basement, a master bedroom suite with it's own sitting room, a guest room with it's own bathroom and two other bedrooms with a jack-n-jill bathroom. It was exactly what we wanted.

We took all the information and left, pondering over the perfection of the house and the lots that were left, and how close it was to the friends we have in the area. Two weeks later, we put a hold on the lot across the street from the model home.
