@Mom22039 - I am really liking out Miele appliances. The over the island hood is very efficient and not noisy at all, and the smudge-proof finish is indeed smudge-proof. Very easy to clean, even the cooktop (which I did not have any hopes for to begin with, but it exceeded my expectations in how easy it is to clean). The non-plumbed steam oven lived up to my expectations. In the previous house, we had Thermador appliances, and they did well. At the notch below, KitchenAid gets my rave reviews, especially their silent dishwasher (wow!) and gas cooktop.
Furniture shopping is a pain… for a year, I was trying to find a nice maple or cherry bed for our guest room. We stopped at Dania today, and saw this bedroom set!

Solid maple, honey stain, made in Oregon… want’s not to like?! 
For those who like the Purist look, but can’t afford it - Home Depot carried some very similar stuff which I used in my basement powder room.
Moen Voss TP holder with pivoting arm. Cheap luxury.

@BunsenBurner thanks for the appliance tips! Also, that’s a great bed.
$183 for a toilet paper holder???
I would pay $400 for a light fixture. Or a very nice, solidly made faucet. But $183 for a TP hanger - nope. 
Thinking of the post with the disappearing view- we are near a couple of bays, one is quite built up and has amazing low tides where people walk 2/3 of the bay with nice sand. But the other bay has only a few homes and has what we call sinking sands, there is a lot of clay mixed in and you can sink to your calf or even knee! I heard about a guy who bought a water front home there in the winter, when the minus tides are at night. The first major low tide in the daylight blew his mind and he was on the phone with the realtor. It really was something he might have had no way to know to ask about if he was coming from out of the area.
We have that muddy low tide here. That is the best time to watch the wading birds. I love, love, love it. That said, I have been coming here since I was born.
Somebody mentioned Thermador . . . was disappointed in my Thermador appliance package that we put in our remodeled kitchen in south Florida (and it was not cheap - probably why it aggravated me so much).
The floorplan has been finalized:

We slid the master bath down into what was going to be the new laundry room, and turned the tiny walk-in closet into the new laundry room. Added some other closets to make up for it.
It makes a lot more sense to me to have the laundry be near the bedrooms instead of off of the living room. And that walk-in closet was going to be a problem anyway because it is really too small for a walk-in, and there is ductwork that runs through it that would have had to be moved
Nice. Now comes the fun part!
Nice! I like how they have the ghost of the original plan visible along with the new plan. It could have been confusing, but the draftsman did a really good job with that.
Looks great!!!
Exciting!!
Now that I have had my coffee I have an interesting observation.
If this is your forever house and a wheelchair is needed you will be
able to knock out part of the long closet to make a doorway wide enough to access the room
from the foyer.
I also see a way to take down a little of the wall to access the laundry.
Yes, I am a depressive but I do think you floorpan allows for some of life’s happenings.
I doubt if the bedroom hall is wide enough for a wheelchair.
The final bill is in for repairing the lower wall - $21,500. It could have been worse…
My builder fixed the flashing where the deck meets the house, replaced all the wood in the back wall, new window, new sliding door, re-sided it using vinyl siding that is supposed to look like individual shingles, and used vinyl trim boards. Should be as close to maintenance-free as possible:

We have thought of this and already talked to our builder about it. The master bath door will be 32", the master shower will be zero clearance. The bedroom hallway is actually 36" wide or a little more. Didn’t think of the laundry door, but that’s a good idea. The bedroom door is probably not 32", that would need to be redone.
There will be two steps up from the garage to the inside, but the way the garage is, it will be easy to ramp. Same with the new front porch.
We are not designing the kitchen for accessibility, that will have to wait until it is necessary.
The plan looks great.
If the hall is legal for the building code, it is 3 feet wide which is fine for a wheel chair though the door to the bedroom is likely to be tight. It could get replaced by a slider. Though that is not necessarily easier to open unless it’s electronic. The doors to the smaller bedrooms, don’t allow turn around space, but the master is straight ahead and a push door. ADA requires a 32" clear opening which usually means a 36" door, but the truth is that lots of wheelchairs can get through much smaller doors. I was in a house recently with a woman who uses a wheelchair some of the time and all their doors are 30".
Kitchens are funny. I’ve looked a some in Fine Homebuilding and it really depends on your disabilities as to what you actually need. Many don’t follow ADA rules, but are fine for the people using them.
Not too bad for that kind of repair! Our windows and slider were about $10k, the entire house Hardi residing job was $29k (including the fix of the huuuuuge dry rot patch which the contractor did on per hour labor/materials). Hope the house will be still standing 20 years from now.
NRE-
may I suggest that you consider using heavy duty, lockable pocket doors, instead of standard doors where ever you can in the bedroom area?
If it were my home I’d replace all the swing doors going into each of the bedrooms and bathrooms. You will find that they open up a lot of wall space and prevent the kind of accidents when doors bang into other doors or people.
