Last week we went to select tiles, carpet, cabinets, fixtures, etc.
The selection is underwhelming to say the least. For paint colour, you can choose white, grey-white, pink-white or beige-white. Wow. For tiles and carpets, they all start to look the same after staring at them for a while. It was also really difficult to select based on a single tile.
The standard (read: basic) bathroom and kitchen tap fixtures are, as far as we're concerned, the best. The upgrades are just 'ugly' or 'fussy' - guess this works out for us, so we don't have to cough up any extra money, and we can change them later on our own.
Where we did upgrade - changing our upstairs hallway to hardwood flooring, upgrading to a thicker underpad for the carpeting in the rooms, a frameless shower in the ensuite and the kitchen cabinets.
Here are some pics of the progress thus far. We will go out again this weekend to see what's changed.
