First I just want to say Welcome to TV. While the house is important, we have found it's really about the lifestyle.

We built a Lilly and did the following:
Stretched garage 2 ft
Added a Golf Cart garage
Stretched the lanai 4 ft
Added as large a bird cage as would fit.
We chose the "roman style" walk in shower
We picked the roof line that has peaks in the front rather than the more pyramid shaped one
No pool but we may add a spa (After 25 years of caring for a pool we decided to let someone else do the work)
We kept the wall in the kitchen (extra cabinet) and the design with a larger laundry room where we have added a built-in desk and cabinets.

We debated an Iris vs a Lilly but were told that with the larger lot we purchased we could not put an Iris on it. We were attracted to the iris because it has a nice entryway and a hall closet by the front door. The Lilly is very similar and has slightly larger guest bedrooms (the Iris has some odd corners in the smaller bedroom)

We have been very happy with the results.

Good luck making your decisions and enjoy your new lifestyle!
