Windows and Other Homework

Matt sent us home with color chips for the windows.  60+ colors to choose from with Sierra Pacific. He knows we want dark windows so he pointed out a color called Dark Bronze Industrial that looks nice, but there's several contenders.

We need to choose whether to keep the grids in the transom windows as shown on the plan or remove them.  We also sent Matt our list of window changes and questions.  Luckily we'd already created the list on our own so it wasn't a lot of work.  Soon we'll meet with Matt and his window guy to finalize things.  

We aren't sure how to finish the windows on the inside.  I want dark windows inside. But with this type of window (aluminum outside, wood inside) the lining usually matches the window.  I wanted dark windows but liners to match the casing.  Basically we aren't sure what we want inside but we need to figure it out soon.  

We also need to meet with the appliance rep soon.  We actually asked if we could get a head start, because we're hearing some people have been waiting 6-7 MONTHS for appliances and still don't have them.  Obviously that would delay the project and we want to avoid that!

Also on the to do list is going to look at flooring.  We can't make cabinet decisions until we know what the floors will look like, so that appointment will be happening soon.  Lots of thought going into finishes when excavation hasn't even started yet!
