Design Perspective: Laminate Flooring April 30, 2010
Posted by creatingyourspace in : Design Perspectives , add a comment
One of our favorite posts on our blog is to examine room scenes and talk about what works and what could be improved. Let’s dive into this room scene and talk about what works and what can be improved!
What works:
- Note the dark walls and light floors. Great contrast!
- The way the floor extends from the dining room into the foyer helps both rooms appear larger.
- The installation direction of the laminate elongates the room.
- Oak is used on the floor and the dining furniture is a similar stain color. Nice blend.
- The white trim around the doors and windows compliment the window treatments and table decor.
Improvement ideas:
- On the one hand, it’s complimentary that the floors and the furniture are similarly stained, but adding an area rug to separate the two could add contrast and texture.
What are your thoughts? Do you like this room? What would you improve on?
Testimonial for Big Bob’s April 23, 2010
Posted by creatingyourspace in : Testimonial, Uncategorized , add a commentPlease read what others have to say about Big Bobs’!
“We recently made a large purchase with your store which included tile and carpet. We found Theo to be very helpful in all matters and was always ready to answer any questions of concerns that we had. We would gladly recommend him and your store to anyone. After making several purchases on our new home we have found that this type of service isn’t readily available these days.
We were also extremely impressed with the two carpet layers that came out to install our carpet. They were punctual, neat, clean, and did an extremely professional job. They went the extra mile and cleaned up as though they had never been here. We did not even to touch up a base board, which says a lot. My husband had a painting business for several years, doing residential, commercial and industrial work and has always had to return to touch up after the carpet was laid, so we do not make this statement lightly.”
We would be happy to recommend Big Bob’s to all our friends.
Thank you again for everything.

The Varied and Valued Benefits of Vinyl April 6, 2010
Posted by creatingyourspace in : Vinyl , add a comment
Well, the first thing you should know about vinyl floor covering is that it’s also called resilient flooring. That’s because these floors have resilience or “give” to them when walked on. And they give you plenty of reasons to consider them for your home.
Vinyl floors the others in versatility. Want choice? You got it. No other floor covering offers the spectrum of styles, colors, textures and patterns as vinyl sheet flooring and luxury vinyl tile (LVT). Today’s manufacturing methods can even replicate the look of ceramic tile, stone and wood grains.
Vinyl stands up to life and living. Yours included. Durable vinyl flooring easily takes the knocks of life, for years and years, while keeping its beauty under heavy foot traffic. It resists moisture and stains, cleans up easily.
Vinyl covers safety and health issues. Slip-retardant surfaces are available for vinyl installed near showers and in your kitchen. Are you or someone allergy-prone? Vinyl doesn’t give dust a home to get comfy in.
Vinyl is easy on your pocketbook. (Now we’re talking, right?) The installed cost of vinyl is attractive and lifetime maintenance costs are low.
FYI, Here’s a list of ALL THE BENEFITS OF VINYL FLOOR COVERING:
• Vinyl offers you great variety and design flexibility
• Vinyl can “mimic” pricier ceramic tile, stone, wood
• Vinyl delivers durability and wear ability underfoot
• Vinyl resists moisture, stains, and cleans up easily
• Vinyl can be slip resistant and an allergy ally
• Vinyl is a good value, from installation to upkeep
• Vinyl is a smart choice for the do-it-yourselfer
