Marie St.Hilaire Hi there. Above the sink, white Corian was used. Otherwise it was painted MDF.

Sarah Susanka, FAIA That is granite. I'm not sure of the exact color, but if you took the picture to a granite store, they would be able to find you a match. Thanks for your question.

Marie St.Hilaire Hi there. All of the paint for the Showhouse came from Sherwin Williams' ProMar 200 Zero VOC line. In the master bath, 7527 - Nantucket Dune was used above the wainscot, and 7635 - Palisade was used below the wainscot. The ceilings throughout the house are 7035 - Aesthetic White. You can find more info about paint colors for the Not So Big Showhouse here: http://www.notsobigshowhouse.com/2011/about/showhouseinfo.asp . Thanks for your question!

Lumens Gotcha. These aren't tapered shades, but is one of our bestsellers.

Though actually, looking again, I can't tell for sure if the shades in the photo actually are tapered ;) Good luck in your search! -Sarah

Denise Why when I ask or anyone else, ask for the color & who it's by, meaning wall color paint, it always says colors and make simulair to the color we see? Why can't the people just tell us the exact color and who made it? Thanks! :)

What Houzz contributors are saying:
added by Bud Dietrich, AIA to Tour Sarah Susanka's Newest Right-Sized House
The same attention to detail is found in the bathrooms.
4. Check smoke and CO alarms. Make sure your family is safe from all potential dangers by testing your smoke and CO alarms, and replacing batteries. Look at the manufacturing date on each of your alarms. According to Consumer Reports, smoke alarms should be replaced every 10 years, and CO alarms should be replaced every five. Make sure that there's a CO alarm on every level of your home, and smoke alarms in every bedroom and hallway and the attic and basement.
Higher property taxes. Major additions or updates, particularly in spaces such as kitchens and baths, can increase your home's assessed value, and that can enlarge your tax bill. Assessors typically get copies of building permit applications, so they'll know about your project and may determine that it warrants upgrading your home's value. Hidden horrors. If demolition reveals a colony of creepy crawlies lurking beneath your drywall, you'll have to call in the pest control folks to evict them before work can proceed. Insects and vermin are just one unpleasant surprise you might discover — you never truly know what's going on behind the walls until a tear-out. Prepare for the possibility of mold, faulty wiring or plumbing, asbestos and other pricey pitfalls.
