Samples - Wow, I'm spending how much and you wont give me a simple sample?
I'm slightly agitated. The amount of money I'm spending on flooring upgrades you think it would be easy to get a tiny sample for furniture shopping? EEEE - Negative!
$15 dollars to get a sample of my laminate. What? Seriously? Ok - wait $15 for a sample of my vinyl? Ok, that's a little ridiculous!
I also reached out to our siding supplier for a teeny tiny sample of our two colors to assist with deck color selection - EEEEEE - No response - At All!
I'm not asking for full pieces of my selections, just tiny little swatches to help me furnish a home I'm spending the rest of my life paying for. I'm not shopping for floors here folks, I've made my selections. It's not like I'm asking for 5 of each type of everything you have! Maybe I am asking for too much? Maybe I'm expecting too much? Even a color print out that is accurate would do! EEEEE - Negative!
Maybe I'm just in a "Monday" foul mood. Tomorrow this probably wont be a big deal, but it is a little sad, not even a paper print out. :(

I'm still having problems getting samples and it disappoints me. I can't seem to find any in-stores and reaching out to the suppliers have referred me to my SR for RH and RR who in turn referred me to the suppliers. It is a small thing in the scheme of things but then on the other hand it's not. This is my home, the most expensive thing I will purchase in my life, and I don't want to wait until the finished product to begin budgeting and planning to furnish it.

Rite Rug Appointment
We've just finished our appointment with Rite Rug for our flooring selections. We're pretty happy with the selections we've made. I would expect a few more posts about how pleased we are as I progress through our decorating plans and our selections next to the cabinets we select.
Our SR, Kim, knew before hand what our initial cabinet and granite selections were so this made the appointment go very quickly. Much more quickly than I anticipated. Kim was all business and was very efficient with moving us through our options/colors. She told us what was popular and what was trending and she only offered an opinion when we asked and I'm glad she did. Some people hesitate to give their own opinion, so I was pleased when she had. All the selections we made were not a part of any model we viewed so that is a bit scary - but we're pretty confident that the choices are beautiful and go well together.
First, Kim pulled out our initial cabinet selections. There were 2 initially selected. I had her pull out 2 others for us to look at. We haven't made our final selections on cabinets but picked our flooring to match all of the options we're considering. Although, due to seeing our flooring we've already decided to upgrade our cabinets to a higher level. We mainly stayed within the A level items for floors aside from the main floor because of our budget. We tried not to look at any of the higher levels to avoid tempation.
