The picture of your molding looks just like ours. My DH made his own base molding from plain 6" wide x 1" thick boards. He then added the top molding and after laying the floor he added the quarter round. I like the tall molding very much. He prepainted/finished the quarter round before installing it. He did not use quarter round where he installed granite tile on the floors. That quarter round is secured by finishing (?) nails into the molding and NOT into the floors. When he started talking about doing the base moldings for our stucco cottage in Alabama, I asked that he eliminate the groove in the top run of molding, to keep dust from collecting in it. I prefer low maintenance stuff. Even if it does not all match perfectly, it is hard to spot the differences. I visited your photo album, and think you have a great little cape. It should keep you busy for a long time personalizing it. DH has owned this house for almost 50 years, and through the years made many improvements. There is nothing quite as charming as a cape which grows up with your family.

BM Nantucket Gray definitely looks green to me, so if you don't like green that probably won't work for you. I love the color though (so much that we're painting our house Nantucket Gray this spring!), and think it looks very "Cape Cod" :) I'm from the east coast and still miss it ^_^

I currently live in a Cape Cod style home. We don't have a TV area. The staircase leads directly to a small hall with bedroom doors on each side. Given that you have enough room for a central room for a flex space, it's not a problem for whoever is using the room to go through the bedrooms into the baths. I suggest you put the baths on each end. The TV area in the middle as shown above. This makes both rooms ensuite. Be sure to plan for closets in each bedroom and a larger linen/storage closet somewhere in the flex space. The dormers are good for student desks if the windows can be placed high enough to accommodate the built-in desk. This is a great floorplan. We are able to shut off the entire upstairs when not in use. It makes for a very efficient use of space. The rooms upstairs float in their own box within the building envelope. This makes for very quiet bedrooms.

Can we see your house from the front, too? I like this color combination (but my thoughts might change if I can see other angles).
