Flooring:
For flooring, we debated using bamboo over traditional hardwood. We had seen some new homes with bamboo and it looked fine. However, I did read somewhere that the bamboo comes from Asia so the fuel cost itself doesn't really offset the "green-ness" of the material. Also, we don't know how well bamboo will wear over time as it is a relatively new flooring material. So we decided to go with hardwood.
- Tentatively going with red oak in 4" or 3 1/4" planks
- Oak wears well for flooring.
Carpet:
- Going with something neutral, not sure about patterned carpets yet
Roof:
- Letting our designer choose the color of our roof - she's picking a dark color.
- 40 year composite roof
Drywall:
- Old world texture #1 which is pretty smooth with a little bit of pattern in it.
- Baby bullnose corners so we'll have slightly rounded corners versus hard edges
