-hardwood everywhere except bedrooms and bathrooms
-upgrade carpet (for bedrooms)
-black appliances
-gas barbque hook up
-gas fireplace

I still haven't decided on tile in the bathrooms, as I don't like the feel of tile but I am torn due to resale appeal.

I appreciate the input as well!
Speaking strictly on resale value and disregarding personal taste:

You can cheap out on the main bathroom if you absolutely have to, but the ensuite should definitely have granite if it's an option.

No need to upgrade the carpet, won't make a huge difference

Stainless Steel appliances, as mentioned above, if not now then get them before you sell.

Definitely tile over lino in the bathrooms every day of the week and thrice on Sundays.

BBQ hookup and fireplace = good.

Buy that extra underground parking stall if Sappy isn't gonna
