5 TIPS Have a budget in mind. Know what s included. Prepare a list of must-haves. Make a wish list. Bring photos and/or samples. THE NEXT STEP IS TO STUDY YOUR Design Studio Option Price Book. NOTES & IDEAS Studying will help elevate your interior needs and wants and how they fit within your budget. If you can t seem to find your copy, please contact your New Home Specialist, they will be happy to provide another. If you don t understand something about your Design Studio Options Price Book, no worries! Bring your questions and notes to discuss with your Design Coordinator. Another tip that comes in handy is to bring photos or small samples of your favorite items that will be moving from your old home to your new Classic home (i.e. pillows, patterns, fabrics, photos of art & furniture) to your first appointment. Doing your homework in advance of your appointments helps you be more confident and decisive about your selections.

Personalized Selections. YOUR CHANCE TO SHINE. The Design Studio is intended to be your one-stop source for all of the interior finishes that go into your new Classic home.

6 Personalized Selections. YOUR CHANCE TO SHINE. The Design Studio is intended to be your one-stop source for all of the interior finishes that go into your new Classic home. Your Design Coordinator will cover everything presented in this Guidebook and more! While the order in which you make your selections might vary based on your appointment start time rest assured, your home will not be started until you ve signed off on your interior selections. We find that most of our clients accomplish their selections within two appointments. EXPECTATIONS AND COLLABORATION. Your first appointment is undoubtedly the most important meeting to discuss the interior of your new home. During your first appointment, your Design Coordinator will start by taking some time to learn about your style, preferences and budget guidelines. It is important to note that final pricing for your selections will not be available during your appointment. Because most of the interior finishes are priced on a per square foot or a per piece basis, your Design Coordinator will need time to price out your selections. To become acquainted with the flow of the Design Studio, we ve created a nifty 3D-tour. In addition to being fun to explore the layout of our Design Studio, it also gives you a first-hand look at the showroom layout prior to your visit. Access the 3D-tour at 3D DESIGN STUDIO TOUR

7 SELECTION TIPS Understand how your family lives in each room. NOTES & IDEAS Decide which interior features are most important to you. Start an interior idea book to keep track of your favorite styles. Don t be shy! Take notes and share your ideas. If you see something you like in one of our model homes, jot down the address. Your Design Coordinator can look up the interior finishes. Your appointments will be exciting and interactive so wear comfortable clothing and shoes. Arrange for childcare, if needed. The Design Studio is fun for adults, but not the ideal setting for children.

10 TILE & BACKSPLASH Our Classic Homes Design Studio showcases a variety of tile and backsplash options to fit nearly any style. You ll find everything from stone and ceramic to glass and mosaics, plus all sorts of new materials arriving frequently.

FIREPLACE If you selected an optional fireplace(s) as one of your structural options with your New Home Specialist, you ll have the chance to personalize it by choosing the finishing touches, such as tile and stone colors, and mantle style and stain at the Design Studio. PLUMBING, FIXTURES & HARDWARE FINISHES Everything including the kitchen sink! Classic Homes has joined forces with Kohler, one of the top names in the industry, to offer a powerful selection of bathtubs, faucets, toilets and sinks. All of our homes begin with chrome plumbing fixtures and offer the ability to select brushed nickel or oil-rubbed bronze finishes. This is typically the time when your Designer will want to know if you prefer acrylic or mud set shower pans, whether you re thinking a shower curtain or glass doors, and if you have your heart set on a double vanity. All important questions to ponder prior to your appointment. Sometimes the smallest details leave a lasting impression. Once you select your finish, your Design Coordinator will present you with several available hardware packages.
