Last night I saw the house without the carpets and I have to say everytime I go there I fall in love with it even more. We went back to the carpet store we went to for the last house and ordered the same carpets we had there. They are very neutral (putty colored) so I think they'll look great. We also took home some wood flooring samples to match the upstairs floors for the lower level room. The guy is coming Friday to measure the rugs and another guy on Monday to measure for the new floor.
My next task is window treatments (which I'm hoping is easier than paint colors were). We have two sets of sliders in the new house and since I'm not a fan of vertical blinds I'm trying to come up with curtain and sheer sets to work in those areas.
As for basic window treatments I have a question for you all:
If the rooms are all different colors, but the trim throughout the house (and window frames) is white. Do I have to go with white shades, blinds, etc.. or can I go with an off-white, neutral color? I’m concerned it will pop in a bad way, but maybe not with curtains, etc.. Please let me know your thoughts.

I'm no expert, but I definitely think you're not restricted to just white. I can't wait to see pictures.
Liz,
You can definitely go with a shade that is not white. Wherever you get the shades, get a sample first prior to purchasing so you can see what they look like prior to buying. Regarding the slider--my mom did a shear and a curtain with a pulley system at one end. Regardless, glad things are working out.
