After careful interviewing of builders and a lot of "word of mouth," we found an awesome builder named Chris Fontenot. Chris is a Christian man and we liked him from the moment we met him. Chris has built homes for a few people that Rawson knows. Chris took us to see one of the homes he was building and it was beautiful! Chris came out prior to moving the trailer and sat down with us to discuss our vision for our farm and what we had in mind for a house. As we had found our dream home plans several years ago, we were basically ready to go. However, once we had an architect draw the house on paper, we realized that after 4 years of never once swaying from those plans, that it was NOT our dream house. We had the architect remove some of the costly craftsmanship style accents and by then it basically looked like a house in a subdivision in town. It was not a country farm house and would have looked awful. Looking back, I don't know what we were thinking! I am SOOOO glad we had a change of heart. Here is a picture of that house:
But, after realizing that we would be better off with a 2-story house both space-wise and for the future when the kids leave, we chose a nice 2-story farmhouse with a lot of character. We will paint it Woodlawn Juniper to match the garage with white trim, Sundried Tomato front doors and a silver metal roof.
