  1. Your home is going to be beautiful. Love all the selections! Will you have a side entry garage or front? Can't wait to see it all put together :)

  3. Hi - we built a year ago - congratulations! Just wanted to mention (and I JUST found your blog so forgive me if you've already discussed it) that if you are using front load washer/dryers, you can pay to have them moved to the end of the laundry room, so their back is to the storage area/office (depending on what you chose) instead of to the family room. There is not enough room to use them when they are on the side wall instead of the back wall. This may jack up your laundry tub selection, but just wanted to let you know. I can't wait to see pics! My biggest regret is not upgrading the staircase and letting them reverse our plan (oh and not upgrading the master bath, if we'd known the difference we would have). Otherwise, we are so happy!

  5. Thanks everyone! Beth - thanks for the pointers! We decided to go with the extended laundry room which comes with a window. Since there is a window on the outside wall, we don't really have a choice as to where the washer and dryer will go. I'm glad you love your place :) I've seen a couple houses online that have reversed floor plans and it's really confusing to look at so I'm sure it took a little while for you to get your bearings during construction too. Today is our pre-construction meeting but we've already broken ground so we've officially started.

  7. Hi there! We also have a vistoria falls and are interested in converting our living room into an office as well. Doing some research I've come across your blog trying to find out exactly what french doors are used. Would you mind sharing how that turned out for you? I'd like to add french doors from the foyer into the living room and between the living room and dining room. Thanks!!
