House 04

December 1, 2017

This week we finalized our siding and metal roof colors for the exterior of the house. Our home has a monochrome color palette. Materials and selections are all black, white or gray, but deciding which color to put where has been a bit tricky. Our first choice for the exterior color of the house was black, but since we are located within a historic district, we are restricted from having that color. We also wanted to be energy conscious and black isn’t the best color for that. Therefore we selected a light gray color for the front portion of the house and white for the back portion. Our doors and windows are black on the exterior, which creates a contrast with the lighter color selections.

During the next few weeks, we are finalizing our plumbing and appliance selections, as well as working on the kitchen layout. At the site, the prep will continue for the pouring of the concrete slab. We are really excited about our concrete floor and we can’t wait for this part of construction!

about me

Hi! I’m Megan. I’m an enthusiast for all things simple, minimalist and monochrome (and most things that start with the letter ‘m’). Born in the midwest, I am now living the city life with my architect husband, Corey, and two young children. I started this blog to document the process as we designed and built our house. I hope you enjoy following along as we stylize and organize our new home!
