Our design appointment could not have gone better. We worked with Stacey DeWitt who was just wonderful. She really made the process quite easy. A lot of thanks also goes to all of you on TOTV who have suggested, encouraged and offered excellent counsel. We had done a lot of legwork ahead of time. Thanks to hotrodgirl I was fully prepared with my spreadsheet and questions. As a result, we were able to achieve everything we wanted, plus more!
We are building a Lantana which we stretched 2' across the back, 4' in garage and a 4' lateral stretch to the kitchen, nook side. This increased the little storage room off the laundry room which now gives me my "space".  I was also able to place the refrigerator along the back wall which was my preference and not opposite the counter area.
My suggestion to those who are still waiting to thru the design process is to ask what you want in terms of design features. Right now they are very flexible, but that is always subject to change. One thing I learned is that you can change up the cabinetry for the kitchen, bathrooms, etc. it doesn't all need o be the same. I decided to keep everything uniform as I had maxed out my brain on decisions by then.
Our closing is scheduled for 2/11/13 - just 83 days away. We won't be there to close, but should be there in early March to start to get settled in.
Up north, our contractors are hard at work trying to get us back into our home in several weeks - hopefully sooner! Visiting TV at this point in time was an excellent diversion and we as glad that we of followed thru with our plans.
Wishing you all a very Happy Thanksgiving! We all have a lot to be thankful for this year!

So glad to hear things are going well for you and hopefully soon will be back in your home. I'm glad you had a pleasant experience at your design meeting as did we and we are so thankful for Rusty and starting this thread--without the help from everyone that already went through their designs and were willing to share their knowledge without even knowing or meeting all of us--that's what a great neighborhood we'll be
Couldn't agree with you more and expressing a Happy Thanksgiving and the support we've had of complete strangers turning into friends is something to be thankful for!
