    Closing this chapter and final pics of the house

    Life has been hectic to say the least. Without going into too many details that I will probably turn into a blog, we have decided to start trying for another baby, while raising a toddler, dealing with daily life and of course building our dream home. Speaking of home, we made a major decision to stop building The Carolina Place with Ryan homes and start building a Belina with Mid-Atlantic Builders. This all started on Oct 7 th 2017 when we were going to check on our progress of the Carolina Place and when we got to our neighborhood we saw that Mid-Atlantic had released a new Ranch level! Well I can never leave well enough alone, and I went online to check out the floorplan and fell in love. This plan had everything we thought the Carolina Place was missing.

We needed to decide quickly because since we live with my in-laws it was going to be har...

Our rep was really nice and we were allowed to bring our 16 month old daughter but we kept her in her stroller. Some design centers do not allow children so make sure you check before going. You have up to 2 hours in the design center but if you go with a vision, pics of your style and an idea board it goes faster because the rep is able to see what you are looking for, our appointment lasted 45 mins. Also prior to going to this appointment we went to 3 different models of the Carolina Place to see the different design options, I would recommend taking pictures both distance and detail pics. of things you like Also if you see something you like in the model don't be afraid to ask what it is. I asked for a list of all the finishes and paint color in a particular model and they supplied me with a print o...
