I eventually went into decision overload and my husband ended up picking out the last light fixtures by himself. I just couldn't make anymore decisions.<br /><br />Our favorite points about our house that we made conscious decisions about:<br />* pull-out cabinet drawers in the kitchen<br />* lots of lighting in the kitchen<br />* we went with a natural stone island countertop but have since switched to butcher block; I like this so much more - no more worrying about setting something too hot on it.<br />* x-large master shower; we did the tiling ourselves. Just make sure you put a rubber mat under the base (in case the tile cracks/grout leaks) and use an epoxy grout.<br />* our doors are all solid instead of the "standard" hollow-core. Much nicer.<br />* one thing we just added this year: ceiling fans in the upstairs bedrooms. Helps with cooling in summer.<br />* our trim is all real wood stained in <a href="http://www.minwax.com/wood-products/stains-color-guide/" rel="nofollow">Early American</a>. We were lucky and got our trim, cabinets and wood flooring from local Amish. We had to finish ourselves (except the cabinets), but it was worth it.<br /><br />Whatever you do, don't paint dark-colored half walls in the bathrooms; it's amazing the TP "dust" that ends up on them!

If we are in the main area we should be able to hear a knock but if we were upstairs or in the basement or maybe even in the laundry room then we quite possibly wouldn't hear.Abbihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01842277589160618685noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-720122887391988458.post-75093829548891426562014-10-20T20:16:00.787-05:002014-10-20T20:16:00.787-05:00Yes, Abbi, I think you need a doorbell.
