Remember my perfect carpet? The expensive Karastan I chose on day one…
.

.
The salesperson from the store where I found it (they have exclusive rights to the brand and none of the other places we’ve tried can sell it) has been staying in touch after giving us an installation estimate. When I finally told them my husband balked at the price and was looking around for something comparable but cheaper, they wanted to help and said they would check their inventory.
I received this message a week ago.. but didn’t tell my husband until he’d had his fill of fruitless floor shopping.
I’m evil that way.

To be honest I didn’t think carpet was something you could barter… but you live and you learn.
And save $500 apparently.

Installation in 8 weeks.

Yeah!
I was laughing all throughout this post because I know you have been enjoying watching your husband try and find an alternative like it. 🤣😂

I’m not crazy about carpet but it’s much better than walking on a cold floor. You’re definitely right to get the best you can afford. You can cry once over the price or complain forever about the quality. This has been quite a journey for you but it’s looking like it was worth the trip.

I like carpet in the bedrooms which is what we’re doing. I’m glad to be rid of it in the living/dining room.

Wow, congrats on getting (somewhat) what you wanted. Or the equivalent of what your first choice.

No…
This IS my first choice. They came down on the price and I wore my husband out shopping.

Wow, that’s like shopping for a car. Walk off the lot and half the time, the salespeople chase after you with a better offer. Well played (even if unintentionally)!

Nice! You’ve got an unexplored talent, it seems. Time to head out to the markets of the world to hone your already impressive haggling skills.
