Garage door

This looks like a good option. It's Costco's Amarr N1 - NORTHAMPTON - CLOSED ARCH.

I didn't know Costco sells garage doors, but the way it folds in three panels instead of four looks good, and according to reviews it's as good as Clopay, possibly better. Sounds good to me.

The Classica 3000 is a triple layer steel door. Amarr has one other type of steel door that is even more well-insulated, but it's an R-value of 15.67 vs a R-value of 13.35 for the Classica. The Classica is much better looking. And at least I'm told it costs less than wood and wood composite doors. I don't know the exact costs yet, we will need to ask Costco for a quote.

Here is what the house would look like with this door.

Stairs, banisters and balusters

I really like the one pictured here:

It looks solid, simple and classic. I especially like that the balusters are rectangular sticks of wood painted white and that's it. No carvings or other shapes.

I like this idea of having contrasting colours on the stairs. Makes it less likely to accidentally take a wrong step.

Satin Finish's picture of their Frost flooring. I think it looks too cold and uninviting.

Not a picture of Satin Finish, but probably close to what French Oak would look like. Dark enough to feel more grounded, but not too dark. With enough hint of red and yellow to feel warm without being too red or yellow.
