Flooring & Design Center

Santa Lucia Granite

From the agreement, we have 30 days to make all of our selections.  This includes the following:

• Selections:
• Interior - Carpet, tile, hardwood, cabinets, counter top, fixtures, fireplace
• Exterior - Color Scheme (Siding, trim, shutters)
• Electrical - Meeting with Guardian for security system, cable, phone, internet wiring.

We had our meeting with the Design Center last week.

• Kitchen / Mudroom / Powder Room
• Countertop - Everyone and their brother has a suggestion for what kind of counter top to get.  We're going with a lighter granite pictured here.  
• Cabinets - We're going with darkest cherry option.  When we saw them at the model, we were blown away.
• Flooring - This is still an open topic.  We originally wanted hardwood but we started to hear that you can scratch, wear-out and damage hardwood flooring.  Megan wanted tile in the mudroom (which is a custom change).  So now we're going to head back to the Design Center to look at the tile again for the floors.  

Cherry Cabinets w/ Santa Lucia Granite

Note: The kitchen picture is one I found online that happened to have the combination of materials we're going with.  This was not provided by Ryan.  I'm hoping it looks this good!  The only difference I see is that we will not have a tile backsplash, we want to do that on our own down the road.

SD91 - Alabaster Sands

• Living Room / Dining Room / Foyer & Hall
• All hardwood flooring with the color Gunsmoke
• Owner's Bath
• We're going with DalTile SD-91 Alabaster Sands pictured on the right.  The accent tile used in the picture is not what Ryan offers.  We're going with a more simple accent tile.
• Hall Bath
• Basic white with a vine listello at eye level. 
• Laundry
• Same as owners bath, but this only on the floor.
• Siding
• Still undecided, we like the Sandstone but can't pick it due to one of our surrounding neighbors already has it.  We're looking into "Tan" but want to see a sample before selecting it.
