At Long Last We are Building our House in Montana



I have never had to make these kinds of decisions before. In the past, I have had about 24 hours to view houses and pick one as our newest location. Now I am being asked things like how thick would you like your deck railing, and and where would you like your light switches. It is exciting and scary all at once.                                                                                                                                                 

I have an image in my mind of what I would like this living place to look like, but I feel completely inept at conveying the pictures in my mind to our wonderful and patient contractor.       
Here is what has been done before I have ever even seen it for myself.  The plans were largely composed by my husband and his best friend (best friend is an amazing contractor in the bay area) on a cocktail napkin.  They were cleaned up to a single sheet of paper later, but our current contractor Lyle, of Stringline Construction has had to interpret a lot.      
I wish my friends were here to help me, but they are all back in Mass, or in California, or Virginia, or a million other places.  I am hoping this Blog gives them a chance to give me their 2 cents.                                                                                                                                                       
In case you want to know some of what I am   thinking for this place, here is my "Cabin Ideas" Pinterest.  It has some pictures of things I like. I am not sure that they can all be incorporated   or that they should all be incorporated, but at     least you'll get a sense of what I like-sort of.
