Thanks everyone. We gave him a detailed list itemizing everything we feel should be corrected. He came this morning to meet with DH and said he agreed with the list and will fix all items (which I knew he would - he is a nice person). I guess I'm losing faith that it will ever really be done as well as I feel it should be given that I'm paying for it. We'll see. We were really hoping it worked out because we need the other bathroom done, as well as several other projects around the house.

What about putting in a tile sill with tile down to the counter for both windows with wood trim on the other 3 sides? You should be able to use your existing molding, too. Carefully pry it off, trim it and put it back in place with a butt edge against the tile. (We had to remove molding when we needed to fix a pocket door and it worked well. All we needed to do was dab a little white wood putty to cover the nail holes.) Then paint the trim to match your walls or tile. I'd lean towards making the fix as uncomplicated as possible in the hope that downplaying it might be the best way to mask the differences.

Justin, we built a house in 1985 that reminds me a lot of your house. I really struggled with finding and placing furnishings that fit the scale and drama and rather oddly shaped spaces ( that we specified). We now live in a small farmhouse on a small horse farm. White plastered walls, white painted trim.Much easier. May I suggest you look at Texas Hill Country farmhouses for inspiration? They tend to be strongly defined but simple, sometimes incorporating "Spanish" elements, if you like those. ( This is kind of random, I do think your front door should be changed. It doesn't seem to fit either farmhouse or the house, in my opinion. You can do better.) PS. In this soaring space, pay close attention to your fixture choices. I think the one shown in this Hill Country house would fit well, for example, but the right scale, no matter the style, will really make a difference.

Please explain what the process was for you to build this house (as others have noted). If, by semi-custom, you mean that you made some changes to one of the builder's plans, then you have more of a tract home with a builder that allows changes. If you purchased a set of plans online, had a designer modify them, then brought them to a builder, then that's semi-custom. If you own the lot and are financing the build, you may have more leverage with the contract, but you need to read the contract. Most contracts for this type of build have some language that allows the builder to modify plans and not get penalized for it. FWIW we are building with a builder that does both custom and tract homes (they have 2 divisions). We are building a tract home with them. The builder allows some changes but didn't allow framing changes due to how busy they are right now. Our daughter's bedroom was listed in their literature as 11x15, but the front elevation we chose resulted in that bedroom losing 1'-0". I wasn't thrilled about that but it is what it is. We are also financing the build and own the lot - and we still don't have that much control over things. This is the world of tract builds, I'm sorry to say.
