Color Selection

Yesterday I went to the design center to make my "color selections" for the house.

The main body of the house will be Stonewall - 8783M by Duron (owned by Sherwin Williams)

The trim around the windows and doors will be Silver Chime - 8781W by Duron (owned by SW)

The "rough stucco" (where there's stone on the model home) will be Blackthorn - 8784D by Duron (owned by SW)

The front door will be Temptress - 8516A by Duron.

The house comes "standard" with white paint. While I'll be painting a few rooms right away, I know that it will take me awhile to get the whole house painted, and the white would drive me crazy. We chose to have the inside of the house painted Burma Buff - 8201W, once again by Duron. The trim in the house will be white.

The hardware on the front door will be Kwikset Signatures Shelburne SmartKey Handleset in Satin Nickel (98001-107)

The hardware on the interior doors will be Kwikset Signature Tustin LeverOur cabinets will be maple, with a Cordovan finish. Manufacturer of the cabinets is Quality Cabinets. I don't know what I want to do with the hardware, in terms of shape, but it will be brushed nickel, so that it goes with the stainless appliances.

Granite will be Uba Tuba. The builder was having a special that if we chose this granite for the kitchen the bathrooms would have upgraded countertops at no additional cost.
The kitchen sink will be a double bowl undermount from Sterling.

Our faucet will be the Salora Classic in stainless; the standard was a chrome. The "base" shown in the picture will not be on the faucet, it will be a single hole in the granite.

The dishwasher will be the Whirlpool model GU3600XTVY - I was looking for a steel interior (I've had plastic tubs "go bad" in rentals) and that it be quiet (as the one in our rental now is ridiculously loud).

Our range will be the Whirlpool GFE471LVS - cleaning the coil top stove in our rental makes me appreciate that we will have a flat top again in the near future.

The microwave will be Whirlpool model WMH2205XVS. Looking forward to a over-range microwave - after giving up valuable counter space for the past three years.

Tile will be from Shaw's Summerset collection. The color is Sea Oat Khaki (00201) and we will have varying sizes throughout the house. The backsplash in the kitchen will be 6.5" square on a diagonal. The floor tile in the main area (foyer and kitchen) will be 18" tile on a diagonal. The floor tile in the bathrooms will be 13" - in a straight pattern. The tile in the master shower will be 8"x12" with a border.

Master Bath will have the Moen Brantford collection. The shower will have the Brantford LifeShine Brushed Nickel Posi-Temp Pressure Balancing Shower (model T2152BN)

The faucets will be Brantford LifeShine Brushed Nickel High Arc Spout Lavatory Faucet with Pop-up Drain (model 6610BN).

Sinks in all bathrooms will be Briggs 6504 (Marlowe Oval Undermount). The master will be in a linen finish, to coordinate with the shower tile, all other bathrooms will be in a white finish, to coordinate with the 6"x6" white tiles in the secondary baths.

Showers in the hall and bonus baths will have Moen Chateau Chrome Lever Posi-Temp Pressure Ballancing Tub/Shower (model L2353) And the faucets in the powder bath, hall bath and bonus bath will be the Chateau Chrome Lever Lavatory Faucet with Pop-up Drain (model L4621)

Carpet throughout will be Shaw's Collinsville Nature's Mist (HGG36-103)


Those are the color selections. Next up is to finalize the electrical plans and wait for the building permits. We're looking forward to the builder breaking ground!
