We ended up at $106.00 per sq. foot here in Texas. It is a 3 bed 2 bath total sq ft of 2478, which includes a finished bonus room upstairs. We have a front porch, 120 sq ft and a screened in back porch, 151 sq ft. Total slab is 2580. We have double crown molding in the office, living room and dining room kitchen since it is an open floor plan. We went with the builders standard finishes except to upgrade the carpet and pad in the upstairs and bedrooms. The other rooms we used LVP which is his standard. Included in his builds are an surround speaker system in the living room, and an alarm system. We have front and back yard sprinkler system and landscaping included in this price. All cabinets are built locally so we were able to get them customized to our needs. We were able to get the majority of our fixtures along with the appliances at Lowes and they ended up giving us a 20% discount which saved money. We ended up doing a change order on the fireplace which cost 1300.00 not included in the price.

You want to include the entire dining room wall as part of the closet. Nothing looks weirder than a funky bump out. With two standard 48" bifold doors--something you can do because you don't actually need to attach a bifold door to a vertical stud on the right side (when looking at the closet), so you can place the opening flush against the exterior wall--you will have an impressive and VERY functional eight feet of clear laundry room space with the doors open! You will need to make the right side of the wall narrower than the standard 2x4 because otherwise you only have 95.5". The 2x2 (with one strategic 2x4 turned flat) gets you a happy 97.2", giving you a whopping inch and a half to spare. (Standard doors are much cheaper than special order. Plus big closets are good.) Needless to say, you can't put a door casing on this closet. It will need to be finished sheet rock. That is a normal finishing technique for bifold doors, though. But wait! You say. What about the air return? Never thought you would ask, my friend! The air return gets removed from where it is and a little bit of extra duct is added to redirect it to the side wall of the new closet. Which is a thousand time better of a place for it! The duct gets boxed in and painted. Be a princess and make them use 1/2" plywood, which they can mud over and paint. It will look just like if they drywalled it, but it will mean that you will only lose 2.5" of the lower left corner of the closet (if the return is a standard 4" in depth, which is should be sine you can make it as wide across the side wall as you need to) instead of 4" This is because the front corner of the closet is the 2x4 turned sideways. Then the 2" of the depth of the 2x4 plus the inner drywall plus 2" more of your actual closet space is taken up by the duct. Then there is the half inch of plywood. Only one inch will even stick out into the clear area of the eight foot door. If all that is confusing...it'll look good. Lol. Anyway, you will want to put the dryer on the right, on the exterior wall, and vent it straight out. You can't put it all the way against the wall with no because the bifold door would block it slightly. You will have to leave about two and a half inches to get it in (and out for service). The washer should go to the immediate left of the dryer. Then you will have a hair more than thirty inches to the right of the washing machine.

Someone reported having revwood select and said moving furniture on it caused the color to fade. Like scooting in and out dining chairs. I was ready to order it today. Has anyone else had issues with revwood select discoloring due to furniture scooting?

I like them a lot. I wanted a more modern look with less variation and I think they deliver. They can have a tendency to look “stripey,” which I’m sure you noticed in the Provenza website pics. I had it run to minimize that effect, looking down the boards instead of across them, if that makes sense. (You can see in my pics how some of the planks go from light to dark in one plank.)
