Flooring is harder than you think...

Jessica here! This is my first post of hopefully many on this blog.

To start off, I will have to say that flooring was something I was a little nervous about going in. There is a lot of coordination going on there! Although we has some professional guidance today, I am still worried that we will regret something once we see it on a larger scale.

Here we go...

We met our sales person this afternoon at RiteRug to begin our flooring experience. We jumped right in confirming our cabinet at granite choice for the kitchen to ensure our flooring match up perfectly. Right off the bat we were unsure of what cabinets, we had gone into the day thinking maple, but quickly found that white caught our eye. Once we got to the store and saw the two next to each other I decided that I did not like the white cabinets in the middle level. There was a stye that I liked in the top level, but it was not in the budget to upgrade anymore.

Once the cabinets and counter tops were finalized we moved onto out other selections. The picture to the left shows our final selections, and I have listed out the colors and details below.

A: Granite- Caledonia
B: Kitchen Cabinets- Scottsdale Maple Espresso
C*: Vinyl (Kitchen, Morning Room, Foyer, Powder Room, Mud Room)- Station Square X2090
D*: Carpet (Great Room, Office)- 00201 Tavern and 8lb Admiral II Padding
E: Stain Color (Hand Rails)- 3212 Dark Oak
F: Bathroom Cabinets: (Master Bath, Hall Bath)- Fairfield Maple Honey
G*: Vinyl (Master Bath, Hall Bath, Laundry)- Station Square X2081
H: Carpet (Dining Room, Stairs, Upstairs bedrooms, bonus room)- 00751 Rockport

The items above with the asterisks (*) were upgrades (flooring only, not including the cabinet and granite upgrades). Our upgrades total for the flooring was $2,145.00. We easily could have spent more on the upstairs carpeting, or getting hardwood floors, but these are cosmetic items that can updated down the road. We are happy with what we have for now... until we change our minds.

The overall experience was okay.. Nick said he felt a little rushed and would have liked some time without the sales lady there to talk over our options. I still feel like we got was we came there for and I will be happy with the selections we made in the house. Can't wait to see it all come to life!
