That's right, it's another Verona!: RiteRug

Today was the RiteRug meeting and I have to say it went pretty well. We met with Debra at the Charlotte, NC location. It was a much better experience than I expected. I felt no sales pressure at all. If anything I pressured myself on upgrades! I truly believe that the blogs were a big help in helping to prepare for this meeting. I even brought my Buyer's Agent (Amy) along for added comfort!

First, let me tell you this. If you think you are going to RiteRug and thinking you are not spending a penny, you are probably in for a surprise. I felt that I was disciplined but I am sure I affected the mortgage payment a tad after the upgrades that I didn't think I needed or wanted. So they got me! And they'll get you too :)

So lets talk about the choices. First let me say I am terrible at this stuff. I can handle things like half-hots and data ports, but colors? Forget it. This was left to Jenn and Amy (Buyer's agent / Laywer / counselor).

Flooring

The winner in this category was Bruce Hardwood Manchester Saddle for the kitchen, morning room and foyer. On the right you can see the flooring with the Maple Cognac cabinet, the Santa Cecilia granite and the carpet. Jenn and Amy said this works so if you don't like it, blame them :) If you do like it, well I'll take credit for giving "Approval" of the decisions...LOL!

Here's links to the flooring on the Ryan website and Bruce websites.

Carpeting

The winner in this category was Level 1 Shaw Flooring Collinsville 200 Moonlit Path.
Padding will be 8 pound throughout, but contemplating the waterproof padding which is a pricey upgrade.

Laundry Room Flooring
The Winner here was Canyon Creek 94630 Vinyl by Armstrong. It says "Good" so I guess it's good. I couldn't find this one on the Ryan designer site. According to the Armstrong site it's called Stony River - Sun Kissed Beige. This is an upgrade from the base Vinyl, probably the cheapest upgrade you can do.
