Sounds wonderful. You have great opportunities here. You'll love the higher outlets.
Two important points. I have an outlet at each light switch in the bedrooms. I wish I had put them in the living room and hallway, too. Think vacuum cleaner. The easiest place to find an outlet is right next to the light switch by the door.
Point two: My living room is wired so that I can flip the switch and everything on that circuit goes off. I have the TV and all the video stuff plugged into those outlets along with a few lamps. When I go to bed there is nothing drawing electricity in there all night long. The outlets are wired so that the top plug in each outlet is live and the bottom plug goes off with the switch. I love that. I sure wish my sewing room had that, too. Hope you can get your electrician to do that. I had mine done in 1987.
