DESIGN CENTER EXPERIENCE


Good thing I love to decorate and I feel I have a good idea of what looks good together and what doesn't.  The fact that you are picking everything from kitchen cabinets, to listellos in the bathrooms.  I can see where this can be overwhelming and stressful for some.  However, I think this is actually the fun part of designing a home.  You get to make all the decisions.  We made our appointment at the flooring center and the sales lady we met with was amazing.  She made our experience absolutely wonderful.  She started with the nitty gritty which was the flooring.  We have decided to install hard wood through all the common areas.  Making sure I made a decision on the right color was essential.  Tile in bathrooms and morning rooms and carpet in all the bedrooms.   We were very pleased considering this is our first time ever building a home.  

We have been do-it-yourselfers for many years.  We always try to improve our home, which I feel we have always done a great job at.  Several comments when we went to sell is "this home looks like HGTV" or "I love the way this home is staged"  The funny thing is we don't stage our home hardly at all.  We live this way!   

Okay, Okay... back on task.... 

So the design choices begin: 


  • Kitchen Cabinets
  • Kitchen Counters
  • Flooring - Carpet, hardwood, tile?
  • Light fixtures - Nickel or bronze?  Do you want to upgrade?
  • Tile or Vinyl in your bathrooms and laundry areas?
  • What would you like the listello to look like?

The joy of building a home  :)  Below are some of the selections we went with.
