Creator's Key Takeaways

number one barn doors now in a lot of model homes and other folks I know have done barn doors on rooms where later they've regretted it because sound proofing was important especially a media or theater room

number two is something that I did and later came to regret and it's buying that rev shelf pull out spice rack that's right next to the range

number eight dark colored tubs sinks and toilets you don't see this a lot but I did make the mistake of doing that in a previous house

number ten upgraded lighting through the Builder now what I've heard about that is that while you are building your home and you pick all these lights to The Design Center that stuff that you're actually paying for that is built into your overall total cost of your home

Creator's Tips & Advice

✓Think about where you put barn doors and whether soundproofing is important
✓Consider if a spice rack next to the range will be usable
✓Be aware that black tile floors reflect dust and require more maintenance
✓Know that high niches collect dust and are hard to reach
✓Consider if a mud bench will become a clutter collector
