Ok it's been a while but the PB is also been taking his time away :) Here is the decking. I went ahead and added another 400 sqft which totaled just over 1100 sqft. I already had 700sqft slate patio. Here is a few photos: I chose the lighter pattern so it would not be so hot on my daughter's feet. Almost there thank god. I think I see a little light at the end of that very long tunnel . :)

I really appreciate all the pictures! I am currently trying to decide between these 2 options also! My biggest concern with jet set is-can it look too dark? I will be installing these floors in my basement with very dark grey cabinets and white trim. The samples of jet set are perfect, but pictures here seem a little darker. Any advice from those of you with jet set? My worry with finally mine, sometimes appears too light. How about those of you with finally mine? Any suggestions? It is a basement remodel with a kitchen addition. Going with dark greys, brick backsplash and cement counters. Any suggestions are greatly appreciated!!!

I'm staring at my sample boards of At Ease and Finally Mine right now, trying to decide! I will give you my impressions to see if it helps you at all. There are some pictures of Finally Mine floating around on Instagram but I am having a more difficult time finding At Ease. I have true story here too but think it's darker than I am looking for. At Ease seems to be warmer, with more prominent veining and knotholes. it may be a touch lighter. Not orange, but warm. The painted bevel I would describe as tan. Finally Mine has more gray. It's still got warm undertones, but appears more dusky. The knotholes are less pronounced. Its painted bevel reads as darker than the one on At Ease. More of a gray-beige. I'm really torn between the two. I am having painted cabinets so I have some flexibility. I really think we all spend time agonizing over these colors but they are all pretty. I'll send you some pictures of my big samples tomorrow. Please keep me posted on what you decide. If anyone has more pictures of these colors, I would love to see them!

T. Love You said you used a tan wash on some red oak you had. Would you mind sharing that with me? We have white oak ordered, but have now been told it'll be the end of April before it's in. That won't work. Everything is at a stand still until we get the stair railings and balusters in. The floor isn't even in yet. :-( We can get the red oak in a couple of weeks, so we're going to get that instead. We did buy the stains you mentioned in this thread and put it on a sample of white oak and it looks great!!!! So, we will be using that when we get ready to stain. thank you so much for your help!!!
