Frequent Flyers

This is selfish of me to say but I LOVE (and hate) when my sister moves ( she moves alot). Recently they have been buying homes, living in them awhile.  As they live in them they fix them up. Painting fixing stuff blah blah blah... ( to the good stuff) they replace their flooring.  The last house I got to pick out the flooring and I really enjoyed it.  Not only does it take out of the huge inventory that we have, but it gives me a little bit to pick something fun, affordable, functional, and I get feedback of what they think.  The last home they had they wanted a longer carpet, it was in and a comfortable look.  After living in that house for about a year they realised that with their life style it was something that they liked but not as much as they thought they would.  Now that they built a new home, I got to pick out the carpet again! I must admit that I like the challenge.  She gives me her criteria and I give her some options finally coming up with the final look.  

The front room... a few times

I will get some more pictures so that you can see these better. 

Beaulieu Style:Showcase  Color:Highlights

Side note... My sister is married and they have a dog.  This carpet is a new magic fresh carpet with a special treatment that they use so that your carpet doesn't smell like anything but carpet ( in this case dog).  Also this carpet is a solution dyed carpet meaning that if you (heavens forbid) spill bleach on your carpet it will retain its color, but the bleach can eat the backing.  Living active life's, maintaining carpet isn't a top priority for most people.  But don't forget that your carpet loves to be vacuumed and maintained.  No carpet is indestructible.

New House New Look

The cutest family came in to our shop looking for some carpet ( weird I know).  They had just purchased this house and were putting a fresh look into it, making it their own. As they were looking around checking carpets listening to us rant about our vast knowledge on carpet we found a piece that they liked. When we went to measure the home we laughed a little bit because we had installed the carpet in the master bedroom when the previous owners had lived there ( such a small world).  The carpet was ordered and installed so this cute family could move into their new home.  Although after it was installed, I loved the carpet so much I had to go look at the job my self and get some pictures to share.  The sad news is I am going to have to invest in a better camera then the one in my phone so I can get better pictures to show off all of the jobs that we sell and the amazing job that our installers do.

Stairway, wood edges and the installers always tailor the stairs to give them a crisp finished look.

(I will have to do a post telling you guys the difference in the ways to install the carpet on the stairs.)
