If I had a garden, I would join you, but I only have narrow window sills. 'Im a lurker, only. I live in East York.

I have purchased my flooring, but have not yet installed, but I did learn a lot along the way. Lesson 1 - Black top driveways have oils that can make your LVT turn yellow. Someone told me that they had to replace their white a year after buying it because there was a yellow trail from their garage to their kitchen. The staining was not covered under the warranty. The flooring stores acted completely clueless, the manufacturer was vague until I pinned them to an answer and then they admitted that there is a clause that does not warranty against "Environmental Staining". https://www.wolfeflooring.com/blog/why-is-my-floor-turning-yellow/ Lesson 2 - look at photos with a whole room completed with the flooring. A single board or sample may look great, but the color variations and patterns can vary a lot from board to board and may look really busy when all laid out. Lesson 3 - same flooring may be available under several names and different prices at different stores. I saved about 30% of the total cost by shopping around and taking advantage of a sale. Link to a discussion with more information. https://www.houzz.com/discussions/5832512/lvp-help-sweet-talker-calypso-oak-sutton-or-royal-crest Lesson 4 - When I couldn't decide between 2 colors I ordered a box of each. The flooring store told me that if I buy both I can exchange the one I don't want for another box of the color I want. It was so much easier to decide with a whole box that I could set out and look at with my furniture and walls and fireplace.
