Hi HjK1,
We have our design appointment in a few weeks. Since we have the same model,
I was wondering if there is anything the you upgraded or changed that wasn't it in the book that I should ask for?
Just trying to cover all of our bases and not miss anything.
Thanks!
Hi there,
I'm trying to remember everything, one of the things they didn't tell us but we knew from our neighbour was that instead of having a fixed light outside at the front door you can get a hanging light. It looks really nice. no charge for that.
I'm not sure which kitchen layout you have but you can upgrade the pantry door - they have a really nice 3/4 glass one but it's $800 (I priced it at $400 at home depot - special order) It's called Single 96" Interior french door.
For our kitchen layout you can have seating for two on the side of the island. We didn't want six chairs at the island so we extended the base of the island and added drawers.
added an extra exterior light at the back door.
added "quiet walls" around the laundry room - hope it actually makes a difference, probably not lol
We took out the door from bedroom 3 to the bathroom. $187
Added shower pot light in second bathroom $309
I can't think of anything else that wasn't in the book. We asked what other options there were that we didn't think of or suggestions of what other ppl have done and got nothing. I wasn't sure of the cabinet/floor tile combos I picked so I asked what a popular choice was, or what she suggested and was told we picked what everyone picks. I find that hard to believe. She wasn't interested in helping us chose anything. Good luck, and don't let them push you out the door. You can always make a second appointment (something that wasn't offered to us) if you aren't able to finish up.
Hope you have a great experience.
When the washroom door is removed from the 3rd bedroom, does the washroom layout change?
