Yes, it's really a personal choice indeed.
Having just bought a Dundas as well, we're sticking with what is on the Floor plan in terms of hardwood in hallway.
Here are my two cents:
Main reason is that the cost outweighs the fact that, to me at least, it really doesn't look bad. In our current home, we have tile from foyer to kitchen -but we have a straight hallway to kitchen/eating area. Also, the problem I see is that the round part of the coffered ceiling toward the hallway where the pillars are at each end in the dining-room, will attract my eye when I keep seeing a straight line of tile where dining-room and hallway meet. Hope you know what I mean. Unless you plan to have the tile blend round to match the roundness of the coffered ceiling - but then not sure how that will look.
Again, I may be wrong about and it may look nicer your way - but for me, I would spend that money on something else like archways. Anybody know how much those cost now?
BTW - You may receive your Design book soon since you close before us - do you mind sharing some upgrade costs?
Hi JeepMomma2015,
Yes the cost is definitley going to be a key factor for us. We did find out that the tile would arch with the dinning room and it is actually very attractive. My main concern with not doing it is simply because its a hightraffic area and also because I do not know how the breakup would look as tile would then continue into the kitchen.
Which street and lot were you again?
As soon as I get my book i will definitley be in communication no problem.
