Still need carpet and have to decide soon

17 years ago

I wish I could say I am comfortble making this decision on my own but I have a history of bad carpet decisions so I have no confidence. I did read everything I could on this site I trust so much and think I have the right shopping list for high traffic stairs and Fam rm.- 100% Nylon( Is evertouch ok?), 5 stars, 10 yr warranty on Quality, 10 yr RX2 stain resistance, 10 yr texture guard, 10 yr no wrinkle, 4.25 performance rating- Freize. Yes, I went to Shaws dealer and now going to Mohawk to see their version of this. Did I forget something? Thanx in advance for any advise.

Need to order appliances soon - can't decide

I looked at the Bosch, but it does not have convection in both ovens. I won't use the ovens every day, but when I bake, I like to bake big! I really hate having to wait an hour for the apple pie to get done before I can bake the custard - or not being able to fit 10 small loaves of quick bread in the oven at one time. From a cost standpoint, I can't even justify paying $3,000 for ovens when I have one that works just fine that is paid for and only 6 years old. I made it 30 years and raised two kids on home cooked meals without ever owning a range that cost over $600. A double wall oven will not add a dime to the value of my home either - but I saved for a year so I could afford to get the induction cooktop and double wall oven. But I think I'm going to get the Electrolux units. I keep thinking I should get the KA but I'm just not as comfortable with that decision. I like the looks of the KA better, but I am worried about reliablity. For that reason I'd rather not order the appliances online, but if i get them locally the KA ends up costing the same as the Electrolux, and I believe the Electrolux are better. I'm way more excited about getting the induction cooktop, and if I could find a slide in range I remotely liked I would probably go that route. I just worn out by it all and don't want to have to think about it anymore LOL! Cathy

I've sampled the FPE-ECO, and I just LOVE the appearance! SUCH a nice/clean white. Flowed on beautifully too! ECO is a "hybrid", meaning it's water-thinnable, Urethane-fortified Alkyd paint. To ME, it didn't have much odor, and is a Low-VOC paint. You can't go wrong with paint this good. It's literally that simple! If ya haven't, check the link below for FPE-ECO info...

Have you consider FLOR carpet tiles? Then you can get something lighter that contrasts with your floors but easy to clean if something spills. Are the colors blue and tan (hard to tell on my monitor)
