What would you do differently if you built a new home?
Hmmm, that is a loaded question. Most homeowners would say "What wouldn't I do differently?" Here are a few items that top the list of 'extras' that most home owners skimp on the first time around.
Flooring is such an overlooked area, and most people think that they need to carpet their home to keep it cozy and comfortable. Nothing could be farther from the truth, hardwood is easy to clean and a beautiful addition to your home. If you want a cozy feel, add large area rugs in vital spots. Any funky area rug would look great in a modern home, or if you have a more traditional style, try the Shiraz collection of area rugs.
Take care of those hardwood floors with a central vacuum system. Central vac takes the place of your portable vacuum and your dust pan! Ask your contractor to install a vent in your cup boards kick-board that will take the debris you sweep straight down into your central vac canister.
One other little extra that most home owners would overlook; a direct propane line to their BBQ. Never run out of propane or have to change your canister again.
Building a new house is truly one of life's joys. Research your decisions first, so you won't have regrets later.
