HOW important? Very important, the last time I checked…
So yes, we’re still in a bit of a kerfuffle with our elevation—apparently Celebration Homes isn’t happy with us making changes, even though I recall I was the one who offered to lock in the elevation we wanted for convenience. Hmmm…
Maybe next time I won’t be as forthcoming with my decision-making?
After a bit of thought, we decided maybe we need to consider something quite different, and have thus made modifications to an elevation our building consultant, Norm, recommended:
What do you think? (Those handwritten notes were for Norm, so ignore them if you have to.)
But this isn’t to say we’ve scrapped the previous elevation; we’re still weighing our options so comments are much appreciated!

Hey Arylene,
wow!
I am so excited for you! Your neighborhood looked so serene…
Being a first time home owner myself…i’ve tried my best to choose the best materials with considerations to our budget and the lifestyle we want…. we wanted a hassle free home with minimal maintenance and ever green design, baby and skippy friendly.
But once everything is done and you move in and start your everyday life…. there will be a lot of ‘I should have chosen this” or “i should have bought a loose TV console instead of ordering a built-in one…” etc etc…
there is no right and wrong decisions…it all depends on your preferences and how you wanna live!
but in your case! you’ll have to decide both the inside and the outside!!!!! decisions decisions!!!
I choose not to have much fabric at home, my sofa’s mock leather, i dont have any curtains, just blinds… no carpets and rugs…etc…cos i know i am allergic to dust and being a working mum, and with a pet and babies at home, i wont have the time to clean up the spills and stains all the time…
just follow your heart…
your next home will definitely be an improvement. like i already know what i want and don want in my new home!
I am super proud of you Arylene!
And if you need any vinyl sticker wall decals for decoration! let me know!!!! Gimme the design and the size you want and i’ll get it cut and mailed to you k! lemme know if u need anything else!
Muaks!

Thank you, my dear—the fact that you’re proud of my decisions means a lot to me. 🙂
And yes, although I know a lot about what I want for my home, you sometimes wonder whether they will work with your lifestyle. We’re taking our time and putting a lot of thought into the decisions we have to make but it’s still a huge struggle!
I only have to worry about things being Sky-proof at the moment so that’s a huge burden off my shoulders… And yes, I was going to hit you up for some custom decals so thanks for the offer!
I love you and can’t wait to speak to you next.
XOXO
