Today we received the first take at the exterior rendering of our house.  Mike Blondino, our designer, uses the extra talented Dustin Cogdill of DC Graphics to do the rendering.  Isn’t he great at it?  I would highly recommend using him – his prices are reasonable and it really gives you a true visualization of what your house will look like.  He’ll even do renderings on the interior spaces or 360-degree videos of your home if you want!  We’re thinking that just seeing the front is good enough for us.

We’re super excited to see the house take shape, and really love how it’s turning out.  That said, the colors of the house & styling aren’t quite the ‘coastal’ look that we’re going for though.  It’s definitely more of the traditional northwest craftsman lodge style.  Not to worry, we’ll fix that in our next go-round.  Mike has asked us to provide him with some ideas of a color scheme that we’re thinking about as well as ideas for the stonework.  For now though, it’s fun to check out and see the home come to life.

The look is has a more Northwest Craftsman/Lodge look than we want, but you can definitely see the shape of the house!
