Our adventure!

Today we went to Floor Covering Direct (where we need to pick our flooring for our house) and thought we might have a look around to get some ideas of what we might like for flooring. We decided to ask and see if Dan was in (the guy we were supposed to see), and he was. We met with him and showed him our plans and discussed our ideas of what we thought we might like. Well before we knew it, we had all of our flooring picked out for our house. I can't believe it. It was so fun, and at first it felt a little overwhelming, but Dan was SO helpful. We have decided that we are going to try to keep the details secret for the most part, but I will tell you that we picked out some hardwood, lino, carpet and laminate. After we left there with samples in hand we decided to head over to the paint store and pick out some colours. So now we have all of our flooring and paint colours decided. On Monday we are going to go to J and H to pick out doors, towel bars and shingle colour just to name a few. And on Tuesday we may go to pick out kitchen cabinets and counter tops. This is so exciting :) I am so thankful that Jay and I have such similar tastes. There were a few times today that I asked him what he was thinking and he asked what I was thinking and we were thinking the same colour or same flooring. It will be very interesting to see all of these colours and floorings come together. It's one thing to see a little square of lino next to a little square of hardwood, but it will be interesting to see it all put together.
