Our new home!
Our home, the Cascade 2441, is from Quadrant Homes. One of the things with Quadrant is choosing a GOB of options. We are getting Frost-toned doors and trim and all door handles, etc will be satin-nickel finish. We'll be replacing most of the light fixtures ourselves. I'll list some of the add-ons below - we did a Home Depot registry (under Reasoner/Washington) but it's not complete. The Home Depot site doesn't have the Hampton Bay Dimensions lights we'll be using. Here are some of the choices Quadrant will be putting in:
Some of the features we couldn't quite afford:
-Pergo floors (do ourselves in 3-4 years)
-Finished backyard/fence (do ourselves)
-Air conditioner (we're using ceiling fans instead)
-Emergency generator switch (may add later)
-Stone wainscoting on exterior (would've been cute)
