Appliance Shopping

We have selected our Architects and are very pleased with their expertise! Since our initial visit with them in August, we've been shopping for appliances for the kitchen so we can give them the measurements of each one. We plan to have our floor plans complete in December.

So far we have selected a KitchenAide Range, Micro Oven, Fridge, and Dishwasher for the kitchen. We shopped at this place called Kiva in Houston. It is a Kitchen and Bath showroom! It was so fun looking at all the hardware, sinks, and bath stuff, and I found a garden tub I want!!!!! Here are a few pictures of the things we have selected. I don't have pictures of the Micro Oven.

 We are in LOVE with this gas range!!!!!

 Faucet for my tub!

Summer is near!!!

We are so excited about getting more prepared to start the building process of our home! We look forward to getting more clearing done, then to start interviewing architects. As soon as we decide on an architect then we will move forward with house plans. We have looked at several different plans and would like a design from each of them. We are hoping this can be done!
So far we are thinking of building a 2000 sq.ft. home, with potential to add on later if needed. The house we like is 4 bdrm 2 1/2 bath. Dining room & living room combined. Kitchen, utility/mudroom, and master bedroom in the back of house. The two kids rooms/guest rooms are in the front of the house. One bedroom upstairs with 1/2 bath!!
With lots of modifications in mind, this is the start to what we want. I am sure we will go through changes quite often but we are a compromising team and will enjoy every minute of it!

We are leaning toward a wood burning stove. Does anyone have one of these and could recommend a flooring that works best with it?
