The bathroom tiles, a porcelain printed to look like terrazzo, are from Home Hardware. The oversized format gives the design heft, and Nicole had the contractors mix a custom grout color to make the transition between tiles feel seamless. The floors are heated—a surprisingly small investment at around $250.
Nicole and Blair decided to build the main bedroom without a closet to maximize the square footage for furniture. Instead, they kitted out the smaller upstairs room with three full banks of IKEA cabinets. "It’s a nice way to live. You get out of bed and go to the changing room," says Blair. "It’s less cramped, and a better way to start your day."
On their regular trips to Home Depot—"It was like our daily routine," laughs Nicole—the couple found themselves drawn again and again to a sample of Hampton Oak laminate flooring. When they finally found it on clearance at 99 cents a square foot, they decided it was meant to be. "We bought the last of it," says Blair. "It’s cheap, but it looks great and is indestructible."
