BEDROOM OVERLOAD
I had 3-4 options of Pulte home layout's
to choose from, loft vs. bedroom was one
of them. I knew that I did not want the
loft space to be utilized as a bedroom—
with just 2 people we surely did not need
5 bedrooms! The loft space—while not all

sleepovers as the girls watch movies and
play games. The one downside is that it is
right across from the master bedroom so
when I am ready to go to sleep the girls
have to take the giggling dance party to
another (smaller) room. If I were to seek
out another home I would opt for one with
a basement (far away from the master) that
the tweens could retreat to during wild
sleepovers.

Within my model choice I had a myriad
of flooring options for the 'Great Room'.
Knowing that I will always have dogs I
opted for the wood flooring with no carpet.
That turned out to be a good choice—very
easy to clean and it just makes sense for
us and our lifestyle. I do wish however
that I would not have chosen a dark wood
