Company name: e-doors.com (The Door Superstore) Web address: www.e-doors.com Your overall recommendation ( 1 to 5 stars): 4 stars Comments: Marty was very helpful and delivered a beautiful entry door for a very reasonable price. I'm giving this supplier 4 stars instead of 5 because after I made the order, I felt there was a little bit of a lack of communication. I would have liked an email order confirmation and shipping notification without asking. However, the door arrived in great condition and I'm very happy with my purchase. He was also quick to follow up and ship some brick mould that was missing when we went to install the door free of charge. Company name: Art Tile Direct Web address: www.arttiledirect.com Your overall recommendation ( 1 to 5 stars): 5 stars Comments: I got a great deal on the tile for our kitchen back splash and fireplace surrounds from Christeen at art tile direct. She sent me lots of samples for no charge to help me make my decision. She is able to make custom art tile when given a line drawing or you can choose any color combination for any of her existing art tiles. Field tile is also very reasonable. I would highly recommend. Company name: Vintage Tub and Bath Web address: http://www.vintagetub.com Your overall recommendation ( 1 to 5 stars): 5 stars Comments: I ordered my cast iron clawfoot tub and faucets from Vintage Tub. They were a pleasure to work with, had great communication and held my tub in the warehouse until I was ready to have it delivered. The faucets are beautiful and I would highly recommend. Company name: 1 Stop Lighting Web address: http://www.1stoplighting.com Your overall recommendation ( 1 to 5 stars): 5 stars Comments: Very good customer communication. After placing my order, one item was discontinued, but they "compensated" me for the inconvenience by giving me a 10% off coupon on my entire next order, which worked out rather nicely when ordering lights for an entire home. Their search feature is a bit antiquated so it may be hard to find things online, but they are a great company. Company name: Lamps Plus Web address: http://www.lampsplus.com Your overall recommendation ( 1 to 5 stars): 5 stars Comments: Well established lighting company. Good customer service and price on products. Items arrived quickly and as described.

You're right, this looks wrong...like somebody ran out of paint. The problem is that the contractor installed a nice transition, but for a situation where the stringers and the baseboard were all the same color. If you wanted that colored molding, it would have been better for the baseboard molding to continue straight over to the front of the first stair. At this point, I would vote for painting the baseboard the same color as the stringers. In the photo you have dark stairs, 2 colors of floor tile, and another color for baseboard molding; that's a little too much going on for my taste, and painting the baseboard molding would reduce the "competition."

Yeah, that if something like what I was trying to describe. The ones I've seen look more Mediterranean. Is there a name for these thingies? I was going to find pics of what I was talking about but it is hard to Google for something without a name for it. "Thingies" didn't return many results. LOL.

So here's a follow up question. Per the recommendations and after seeing a visual, we have changed everything to.. * 8' Doors + 4.25" Casing / Trim (Interior and Exterior) * 6' Windows Throughout @ 8' Header Height + 4.25" Casing / Trim ...with the following window exceptions.... * Window over freestanding tub. Don't want the window to fall behind tub (Height 25") , so thinking 5' Window @ 8' Header Height + 4.25" Casing / Trim * (2) Windows on each side of the king size bed. Don't want them to fall behind the nightstands, so thinking 5' window @ 8' Header Height + 4.25" Casing / Trim * Guest Bath smaller window @ 8' Header Height + 4.25" Casing / Trim....not sure what size?? ...Does this make sense? Thoughts? Thanks everyone!
