Looking At Samples

 Our interior designed stopped by yesterday to drop off

a few carpet samples for us to review as well as a sample

of a vinyl to consider for my massive sewing room.

Would you believe the grade of vinyl Dan picked costs more than 

the carpet?  What a shock!  It was pointed out that

since this room is above a garage carpet would be the

best option to keep it warm ... something I didn't even think

about so  vinyl is out and we now will look at a more

commercial type of carpet.  We also decided that carpeting will be the

last thing installed after the hard wood floors are re-done in mid-

September.  We are also waiting for the pricing shock of kitchen granite.  

 Color:  Sand Dune

This is a average {okay maybe a little better than average} carpet

our designed picked out for the steps and 2nd level of the house.

We think this will also be the carpet for our master bedroom.

Should we look at more?  Wilson said no because this is 'it'.

It's a simple design with simple colors so it works with

anything we put on top of it.  

 The second option ... is a 'no'.  We don't care for the stripe look.

 It's pretty hard to take a decent picture of paint samples to

show the exact color ... but this will have to do.  The Sherman

Williams West Highland White look more creamy in color

like the dorsal strip going down a westies back than a true

white.  The ceilings will be painted the typical 'ceiling white'.
