What are the upgrades that I MUST have when buying a new home?

we are beginning to design our new home an are overwhelmed by the upgrades that are available.. they all seem necessary, but which one's should we absolutely have because it will become a hassle and more expensive in the future... These upgrades are things like wood flooring, ceramic flooring in the kitchen and bath, french doors, pot lights, staircase choice of wood..etc. I'm having a hard time deciding.... thanks in advance :)

1. Granite countertops, Wood exterior doors, large pantry and laundry room and make sure the laundry room has a utility sink you will need it for cleaning, mother-in-law plan is a MUST, 10 ft ceilings, his/her closets, NO carpet, pot lights, Wide (6" or 8") baseboards, crown molding, spa tub, outdoor patio area/pool, don't paint the indoors any colors that are too trendy because you will hate them later if you don't hate them they will go out of style, separate area for the children to play, professional gas stove, gas hot water heater (when the elec. goes out), LOW maintenance exterior, invest in great landscaping, french doors, the more open the plan the better! Make sure guests have an easily accessible bathroom without using a family members. Kitchen island, DEEP kitchen sink, cabinets with easy to clean doors, NO WHITE cabinets!, I have stained concrete floors and would not have anything else, they are great!!!! Easy to clean and maintain. E-mail me and I will answer any questions.
2. You MUST upgrade your door lock security immediately! Check out http://www.peerlessdoorlocks.com Here you'll find great residential door locks, all keyed alike with high security registered keys, at no extra cost with FREE shipping & returns! Lots of luck at your new home!
3. I think new kitchen and bathroom cabinets are a must. They are a cost effective way to give those rooms a new look. A new paint color can also be just what your home needs. Good luck!
