Baskets and Buttercups: Drywall Day 107

I went by the house last Friday (May 15) only to find our builder, framer, and the code inspector there. I assumed it was just a routine inspection, and it was, but there was a problem. The height of the ceiling going up the stairs was about 7 inches lower that it needed to be, a slight problem since there was nowhere to go (the roof is directly above this part of the ceiling). The only solution was moving the stairs. Keep in mind that I'm pretty tall (about 5'7), had on heels and had plenty of clearance walking up the stairs. Luckily, I think our builder and code inspector came to an agreement to let this one slide.
Updates and to-do list:
HVAC, Electrical, Exterior stone and brick- Finished!

Cabinets/vanities- They are being made. I need to pick out a vanity for the upstairs bath from a big box store as it will be cheaper than a custom made vanity.

Lighting- Everything has been purchased or is ready to be purchased except for the fixtures upstairs. I will likely do ceiling fans with a light kit in the bonus. I'm not a fan of ceiling fans, but it makes sense to have some extra air circulation up there. Also have the light for the upstairs bath to pick out and the sconces for the built in beds.
I picked up this little cutie at Lowe's on clearance for $15 to put in the playroom. It's 23" wide and so fun! I'm not sure how long that room will be used as a playroom, so I didn't want to spend much but wanted something different.

Faucets- I still have some work to do on these. I really love this Kingston faucet for the powder room, but need to find it in a Delta, and from what I've seen, it's a bit over my price point.

This one is Delta and would work, but it's $272.00!

Tile- I'm having LOTS of trouble on this one. The more tile I look at, the more confused I am, and when I start trying to compare prices, I get even more confused. I really need to come in under budget on this.

Drywall was started on day 107, but pictures are from today - day 116. I have no idea where they are in the process. I believe it has to be sanded 3x, but not really sure, and it was getting dark when we got there so it was really hard to tell too much.
Unfortunately, it was too dark for a good picture by the time we made it around to the front of the house.
