This evening I went to an appointment in Katonah for some sanding and refinishing.  As I pulled up the driveway, the friendly dog greeted me.  After I opened the car door, I got a very warm welcome... ...in fact, the dog jumped into the car onto my lap.  He didn't stop there.  He then went to the passenger seat...and then into the back seat with all my samples.  I couldn't help but laugh.  It was quite hilarious. Anyone who has seen my car knows that it's quite packed w/ samples and this was a nice size dog, so I was surprised that he fit.  Thankfully, he was also able to find his way out. 03/23/2012

Trends in Carpet Runners - Westchester NY We've been getting more and more calls for Carpet runners on steps in Westchester County NY.  Runners on the steps serve 2 purposes: 1) safety (less likely to trip and easier for pets to go up/down the steps) and 2) decorative (esp if steps can be viewed from the entryway. Trends: 1) Simpler styles are in and "less is more."  Regardless of whether it's a higher quality/fancier runner, simpler designs seem to be winning out.  These have both an upscale appearance and importantly don't compete with the area rugs and decor in ohter adjoining rooms (usually the living room and dining room).  For example, this pin dot runner is upscale and versatile...and timeless. 2) Contrast the color of the runner vs. the hardwood.  Blending on the steps does not ... 12/28/2011

I think this is good sign of things to come.  A week or two ago, I got a call from a customer I met at a home show 2 years ago.  She is now "almost" ready to install some new hardwood floors and refinish her existing floors.  To make a long story short, life got in the way, and now they are "ready."  However, they didn't realize they can't walk on the floors while this is being done, so Part 1 will take place in sthe spring and Part II in early summer when they will be away. Last night, I also got a call from a past customer I had met at a home show.  We had done a nice area rug tone on tone pattern with a border.  They had recently moved into their home, and couldn't afford to do all of the work they wanted to due to all the moving expenses, but now they are ready. Addendum - Just got ... 10/16/2011

Yes, I do seem to pick up leads in the oddest places.  This is now the 2nd appointment I got at a gas station. The first one was last summer and we were both getting gas and he saw the magnets on my car.  He is a landscaper and one of his long time customers needed carpeting. Of course, for those of you who follow my blog, you know I got pulled over by the cops when he thought I was talking on my cell phone and he told me it wasn't legal in my county to use the magnets unless I had commercial plates, so now my marketing has been a tad inhibited.  Well last weekend, I got gas and the guy pumping my gas saw all the samples in my car and said, "no way...I'm looking for hardwood flooring."  He is moving into his first home and I met w/ him 2 days ago.  When he told me had that flooring plac... 08/18/2011
