Our Design Choices


We chose the Lausanne Square Maple Espresso Timberlake Cabinets for the Kitchen and the bathrooms, the Luna Pearl granite and the Rural Living Deep Java 5" throughout the main floor.  We told the sales rep at purchase we wanted engineered hardwoods on the main floor. She put them in as laminate and assured us that was the same thing in their system.  BUT when we got to the design center they told us that was incorrect and so we had to pay an additonal $1600 to upgrade to the hardwoods we thought we already had.

 
Bathrooms - Square Maple Espresso, Upgraded laminate flooring and santa cecilia granite.  This granite was just a substitute.  CTI didnt have the actual santa cecilia which is less grey and more marble looking.

 
Our carpet choices for the basement (left) and the 3rd floor (right). Main floor hardwoods in the middle.   We went with the highest upgrade berber  in Frosty Taupe for the basement because we figured we will be spending a lot of time down there.  3rd floor carpet was D level (Favorite Choice Gallery). I really wanted it to be stain resistant or else we could have gone down a level. 
 
Laminate for entrance next to downstairs berber.  Laminate is called Station Square.
 
We are very excited to see how this all comes together. Our Pre-contruction meeting is in August so we still have another month or so before anything happens really but they are starting on our actual street now so soon we will be able to see our lot.  In the meantime I guess we can just wait and pray the interest rates don't keep going up...

    1. Hi, I know this is late. My gmail stopped updating me when I received comments. The carpet levels are listed in the post and I don't remember the level for the hardwood. The vinyl for the entrance is a one level upgrade and the vinyl in the bathrooms was a 2nd level upgrade. Sorry again for suuper late response.
