The TAB Selections Process

Included in the contract to build our home was a selections presentation. It included everything used to price our house from the front door to the number of paint colors that would be used. We were given a Selections Workbook that included a schedule for the ten signed selection sheets we would be required to submit. Our schedule is:
  • 05/29/2019 -- Exterior (roofing, siding, windows, exterior doors)
  • 06/05/2019 -- Plumbing
  • 06/05/2019 -- Appliances
  • 06/12/2019 -- Cabinets and Closets
  • 06/12/2019 -- Interior  (interior doors, casing and trim, fireplace and staircase)
  • 06/21/2019 -- Electrical
  • 06/21/2019 -- Flooring
  • 06/28/2019 -- Paint
  • 06/28/2019 -- Bath and Door Hardware
  • 06/28/2019 -- Miscellaneous
Late fees may apply, charged daily until the selections are submitted. Divorce could be in my future if we miss a date. Pete hates late fees. He believes there's simply no excuse for incurring them.

We had begun making selections late last year after re-engaging with TAB so I feel like the selection schedule is reasonable. I couldn't imagine making all the decisions that are required in a month. My brain would explode!

Den Built-ins

Image
At the front of the house off the foyer is a room that on the original plans was a formal dining room which was open to the great room. A formal dining area doesn't suit our style of entertaining so we walled the room off, separating it from the great room. We plan to use it as a small den for watching television in the evenings. Along one wall will be built-in cabinets because you can never have enough bookcases and storage space. It will also house Pete's big TV. The cabinet supplier and I went back and forth on the design more than a few times, but this is the end result. Den built-in elevation drawing. The drawers will hold our DVD library; personal collection I'm glad I'm not required to make a living as a draftsman!

Great Room Fireplace: Take 2

Image
I wanted the fireplace in the Great Room to look like this, except with Walker Zanger Duquesa Catarina ceramic tile in Aqua instead of a marble surround. Courtesy of Southern Living However the Duquesa Catarina tile is 4-5/8" square and requires four tiles to complete the design. So we would need the surround to be at least 9-1/4" wide with a smidge more for grout. Walker Zanger Duquesa Catarina ceramic tile in Aqua; courtesy of Walker Zanger That didn't leave enough room on either side for the wood trim to look in proportion, or "beefy" enough to support a mantle. Instead, we will be eliminating the wood trim and adding a third row of tile, which is the fireplace Zuniga Interiors had proposed all along. I, however, wanted a more traditional look since none of the houses we've owned had a "normal" fireplace. This is a very bad rendering of what it will look like. New fireplace design (mantle is too thick) with our mirror we af

We purchased these Cooper Upholstered Cubes from Ballard Designs for the sunroom in our Oakton house and had them reupholstered in a Gabrielle Chambray, a fabric exclusive to Ballard Designs that had been discontinued before I made the decision. I was lucky enough to find enough yardage on eBay. Reupholstered ottomons
