In the Kitchen and bathroom you could do a vinyl tile that looks like ceramic but it is not as cold to the touch like the photo below of course there are different brands and colors to choose from as well.

You should post photos of the outside of the house too. It gives designers a cue as to where to start. Focus on flooring throughout as that will set the tone for all rooms.

heated floors are also getting easier in bathrooms.

not sure about painting all trim white. Try to think of all color combinations you could use, would white go with all? you can end up with constant repainting.

This is the exterior. 1950's Lannon stone cape cod.

Post a separate dilemma for each room, and the exterior. As Susan said, start with the first priority.

We completed a whole house remodel one year ago. It is essential to develop your plan first and prioritize each item. Ask yourself if you will be removing walls, adding structure, changing the floor plan by adding more square footage, changing the lighting, moving plumbing lines, etc. Always ask professional engineers their opinion. Get references and put everything in writing!

Hello,

I'm not sure if the 3 photos represent your home? Photo 1 of the LR can enjoy a functional furniture layout plan. Sofas placed to create a conversational area are spaced too far apart. Curious as to the wood piece tightly positioned near the sofa? Photos 2-3 are quite over stimulating in design. It will be uplifting to keep your rooms light, bright and simplistic with less stimulating interplay of patterns. In a "less is more" scheme, you will find a more relaxed and livable atmosphere. It will have design longevity and you will find it to be "re-decorating" friendly over the course of time.

Yes, these are realtor photos of the home we are purchasing. Thank you, my thoughts exactly regarding the "busy-ness." All of their furniture (and as you inquired, huge church organ) will be removed prior to us moving in.
