seems no one wants plain white tiles. There is a housing community that is in the middle of their selling phases but still cannot sell one home from the first phase because the buyers dropped out last second and opted for no upgrades. Now whoever buys the home has no choice but to get standard everything and noone wants that. People want upgrades, granite, tiles, hardwood.
Me personally. I love carpet. I love lying on the floor and hardwood is not comfy for that. Buy a rug? What’s the point of having hardwood then?
