Our selections with Rite Rug

So when we went to Rite Rug, we had an idea of what we would like.

Or rather, I should say *I* did... I spent a lot of time going to the Florence model at The Farm and trying to figure out what type of selections we would like...
Full tile surround in the secondary baths, upgraded master bath tile, etc.

Looking at cabinets, and granite (which was an included feature for the kitchen) and outside color choices...
Amber, our sales rep, was so very welcoming, and was always happy to let me look and decide.

So some of the things I knew before, or had a good idea. Also, I looked at lots of blogs, and finished pictures to see how things looked all together, since when you choose you see it piecemeal.

Here is a list of the colors we chose, and the pictures following. Enjoy!! I can't wait to see it up, in our house!  
But if you are building, or thinking of building, maybe this will help you on your decisions too... Oh, and Rite Rug doesn't handle the granite or cabinet choices, but they have them there so you can get a cohesive look!

We worked with Deb, down in Charlotte, and she was very helpful in coordination choices and making sure our house wouldn't look like a hodgepodge. We were complemented on our choices, which are different from what lots of other people are doing. We like a classic style, coordination and contrast whereas some people like to blend.

I'm excited!! Since this is the stuff you see everyday.

Flooring
The whole main floor, with the exception of the laundry room, is going to be hardwood.

This was at the Vermillion model, and I believe it is the Saddle.

It's Bruce, Dundee 3 1/4", Color is Saddle. (and the banister for the stairs will match).

Hardwood, carpet, and secondary bath floor tile.

So this is a real picture of the flooring color, but these boards are skinnier. This also pictures our carpet; Courtyard Manor 700, color of Apple Butter.
Carpet will be upper level, and basement (where we also upgraded the padding.)

It was a good value to upgrade carpet, padding and floors now. It was similar pricing (if not cheaper) to have Ryan do it, and gets done right away, how we want it. And it will be lasting for years.

Fidenza Cafe, Grout color Light Smoke

This is going to be our laundry room tile. Normally it is an upgrade to tile from the laminate, but for us it was included!

Bathrooms
The powder room on the main floor has the hardwood and no tile, so that's easy. Also, it's a pedestal sink.

For all bathrooms you can upgrade your counter to granite, or quartz or whatnot. But for the look we like it made sense to stay with the white cultured marble.

The 2 secondary baths are full tile shower surround, and tile floors. We didn't upgrade the cabinets in these, so they are the included Fairfield Square Maple Spice by Timberlake. (If you upgrade the cabinets, its only the veneer, or the door to hardwood, and size of drawers. So this was a huge waste of money for us, especially for bathrooms.)

The bathroom cabinet with the floor tile.

The floor tile is called Sierra and the grout is Fawn. They actually have a bit more dept than the picture shows, but I didn't want white on the walls and the floor, which was the only other option without going way up in price upgrade. For the walls in the shower, they are 6x6 tile, with a white accent strip. Sorry, I forgot to get pictures of that.


Master Bath
For the Master, I am SO excited!! We got the included bathroom upgrade, with double bowl vanity, and negotiated for the upgraded cabinet. And I hope what we chose is classic and almost spa like. (Though Deb complemented our choices, so I guess we did OK!)

This shows good color of cabinet and transition to carpet, same Apple Butter.

The cabinet is the Wyoming Spice Cherry Bordeaux. (We almost got these in the kitchen, but did something else. Aaand this is no longer an option to choose, so don't get attached.)

The floor tile is the darker of the two, and we chose a different accent listello.

So colors are Stratford Place Dorian grey 10x14 wall, and floor 12x12, grout is Quartz.

The listello is the multicolored SA50 random 4 rows.
(doesn't tell you much, but gives you something to go on if you are looking at this blog looking for colors!)

I think all of these with the white marble counter tops will look great! What do you think?



Ok Ya'll! Hope this helps in any decision making being done by those building and looking at my blog.

And for family and friends, at least you get some idea too!!
