We built a house this year, an the one thing I really wish we had done different is more electrical outlets and cable outlets. I didn't even really think about it at the time.
Also-- think about how much time you want to spend on maintaining things vs. style. If you HATE to clean, you may not want stainless appliances or granite. (I have stainless and Corian Countertops and love both!) If you are going to put up ceiling fans, get the kind with remotes, and think about your room size and the size fan you will need.
We bought some great lighting fixtures, and I'm glad we spent the extra money to do so, it makes a big difference and gives our house character (literally-- my chandelier is a great Mickey Mouse chandelier) that other houses in our neighborhood don't have.
Our family blog (linked in my signature) details everything we went through with the building process.
