Building A Florence : Rite Rug option meeting

It took a few weeks to get through both of our option meetings. We signed our sales agreement on 06/27 and had our meeting with rite rug (flooring) on 07/08. Unfortunately we had to get the first appointment of the day at 8:00, so the wife could head into work afterwards. Looking back this meeting seems like a daze to us since we were both half asleep. Sadly due to this we didn’t take any pictures at the actual meeting.

The sales rep, Lindsay, was really nice. Before we even began discussing flooring options Lindsay had us confirm our cabinet choices and then we picked out our counters in the kitchen. We didn’t expect to be picking out the counters at the flooring meeting but Lindsay said that is typically how they do it.

She went over all the different flooring options we had and showed us all the different levels. Lindsay provided us with a sheet showing us all the prices for each upgrade so while we decided we could know how much each upgrade would cost us. Lindsay let us know that if we had any questions to ask and then we were off.

My wife grabbed up our counter options for the bathrooms and the kitchen, as well as our counter choice for the kitchen. We put them up against one of the displays and just started grabbing up different types of flooring and laying them down in front of the cabinets to try and get the full effect. With the owner’s bathroom, powder room and foyer we went with laminate. We both really wanted tile in the owner’s bathroom but we didn’t fall in love with any of the choices. Since the kiddo loves to splash when it is bath time we upgraded his flooring to vinyl. We let him pick out which one he wanted in his bathroom (saved us from him trying to get blue or green carpet in his room).

Ever since my wife and I first got married I have always hung out with her in the kitchen while she was cooking. So to us this was the area we wanted to make sure we really loved. With the way our home is what you choose for the kitchen goes in the laundry room and morning room as well. Initially going in we wanted the same type of flooring that was in the model home we toured. Sadly Lindsay told us that it was discontinued and the one closest to it just didn’t do it for us. So the wife and I finally found one that we both agreed on and we were done with everything but the carpet.

Luckily we knew going into the meeting that we were going to get the standard carpet. We decided that with having a kid, a boxer, and 2 cats that the carpet will need to be replaced a few years down the road no matter what. So to us there was no point in upgrading right now.Our sales rep called us and wanted us to stop in and finish up our outside options.

Next up, the guardian meeting.
