Interior Selections



Selecting the interior options was not done during one specific meeting or appointment.  We walked through several models and came across the options displayed in the basements.  And without fail we left with a different selection every time!  But to our advantage we were able to test the detail and durability of the products.  Lastly, my wife has a strong belief that there must be a contrast between the flooring and cabinets.  If they can’t match exactly, they must be distinctly different.    

NOTE: when we go into appointments, our mindset is that structural and substantial selections must be made now to prevent them from being difficult and expensive later.  However, we sacrifice in areas when the typical ‘do it yourself’ can tackle the projects.

Simple decision for us was to upgrade all the cabinets throughout the house as their construction was solid wood instead of veneer or particleboard.  The ‘upgrade 2’ came, along with mentioned above, dovetailed corners and upgraded soft-close slides.  RUSHMORE PAINTED HAZELNUT

Granite came standard, with an option to upgrade for a greater number of color choices.  It was not worth the price considering the color selections were similar.  SANTA CECELIA LIGHT

We do a lot of cooking and with the family growing, the GOURMET ISLAND was a must!  We opted to take a credit for the tiled backsplash as I’ll do it later.  Kitchen faucet fixtures were upgraded to BRUSHED NICKEL.


Continuing the cabinet upgrades discussed earlier, all bathrooms we chose WYOMING CHERRY JAVA cabinets and left the standard marble top.     -Luke
