Advance Flooring




I'm gonna go ahead and start writing about flooring! since its one of the most exciting part...
We went to our flooring appointment, it was one hour away from where we live, the meeting took  about 2 hours, which made us 15mins late with our appointment with Guardian (Yep, it was a busy day for us.) It was partly me because its so hard choosing the right shade of ceramic to go with the deco... hmmm...
We met with N who was very nice and she really cared about what color we're gonna choose, if it matches with everything else and what not.

We already knew what color of cabinets we want so it was fairly easy part...


We are having the Rushmore painted hazelnut glaze cabinets with Maple espresso for the gourmet island. I'm so excited to see what this combination would look like, i saw some on pinterest and they look divine! (credits to my husband who picked out this combination)
New Caledonia granite which we both like seeing it from the model homes.
We upgraded our vinyl so there's more texture and the pattern that i like is the on the photo below so its 1 step up to the free vinyl.
We are having vinyl in the kitchen and morning room, then carpet all over 1st floor and 2 floor.
It was tempting to go ahead and upgrade to ceramic tiles in the kitchen and morning room but it would cost us about $4,000 more if we did, that $4,000 was already spent on upgrading carpet and ceramic tiles on masters and hallway bath.
Will just save up to upgrade everything with ceramics and hardwood mix... in the futuuurrrreee....




You can see a peak of the upgrade padding for the carpets which we didn't get, it would be more $$$ for us we did, so i asked my husband to pick an upgrade, stain resistant carpet or upgraded padding... and he chose carpet.. so that's that.


This is the first choice we did for the kids bath, we didn't upgrade the cabinetry and the counter top, i like the white marbled culture in the bathrooms mainly because it looks clean and white. I also didn't think the kids would care what color of cabinets they have for their bathroom. Wheat cabinets look light and clean anyways.



This is it.. one of the upgrades that i did was the backsplash :) I did the second upgrade to have that dark deco you see on the left side, to be placed in a diamond shape design with every 3-4 tiles apart... exciting!!:) That tile on the back of the cabinet is the one we're going to use as the main tile for backsplash and use the deco on the left... N said we could mix and match so that was fun...
In the above photo you will also see the color of the carpet, i really wanted a light tone for the carpet so we didn't have a hard time choosing that one. I know it's looks too light but hey, it's stain resistant with a warranty.

We also did an upgrade on the tiles in the master bath, it was suposed to be vinyl but the deco upgrade only comes with the level 2 upgrade with the 9×12 surround ceramic and 12x12 floor ceramics.



This is the end of flooring... for now :) Again comments and suggestions are welcome... Thanks!


Edit: May 15th
Additional info about flooring, i went back a week after my 1st appointment to change my kids bathroom, from vinyl, i added around $650 tp upgrade them to ceramics 12x12 flooring and 9x12 wall tiles with deco, i figured i want to finish up the whole second floor upgrades. 

My daughter wanted white tiles so we got the ones above and did the deco on the bottom, the blue ones...
We also change the tiles on the master bath, so we used the ones above and still kept the deco MV27

The carpet we changed as well cause we might have picked a super light one at first, we decided to go with Cameo this time...
