The Carpet DealOk, here is the deal! We cannot get the black and green carpet checker pattern we originally wanted because the green is a "shag" carpet and the black is a "plush" carpet so they won't look good together. I am going to look at their website again and see if I can't get a black "shag" because that would solve our problem. I am pessimistic about finding this but I will not give up hope. My question to all of you is, "what do we do if we cannot get a black shag carpet?" Should we consider other colors, get all the same color and put it in, or wait and see if something else comes up? I guess I love the checker board idea but I am not sure it would look good with any other colors than green and black in that room with the crazy wall color! Let me know what you think about this situation and we'll make a decision coming up here pretty soon. After we get the carpet and put it in we will buy the furniture. I guess the furniture is another disappointing thing because I went to Value City Furniture two weekends ago and they said they didn't have any black couches made of microfiber and didn't know anyone else who did. I thought the carpet and couches would pull the room together and now niether is a guarentee. We will have to weigh our options and see what comes of it. I would like to offer a huge "THANK YOU" to Wendy and my wife for all the time they put into the room painting, it looks amazing, and is a lot of detail work. I guess that is it for now, feel free to post your comments.

Karolyn and Wendy...Great job on the room. That took a lot of hard work, effort, and sweat. Thanks for putting that as a priority in your busy schedules!
Frustrating as it is to be patient for what should seem to be a very easy taks...go to the furniture store...you tell them what you want...they go get it and bring it forth for you to view and decide. You purchase. Their happy. Win-win. It doesn't sound to me like the furniture store put forth near the effort that we were willing to shell out for in bones (dollars) Thus...I don't think they should profit off of us when you ar edoing all the work. Hmmm...another sad case of no customer service. You could have gone to the Angola Walmart and gotten that - would have saved a trip to Ft Wayne.
The room looks great and the people who helped are so greatly appreciated. The colors are fun and the teens will love it when it is completed. Since I do not have an eye for decorating as you may have noticed by the way I dress, I will run with anything, I hope we end up with Black and Green, that sounds cool, but I like what we are doing.
