Let's get ready to rumble!

It's beyond time for us to have our own blog!

I'll start by quickly introducing myself, as I'll be handling the account and mostly speaking in first person.

My name is Amber and I've been here at Carolina Wholesale Floors for right at 1 year. I started drinking the flooring industry kool-aid and haven't been able to look back. I find myself walking into restaurants, friends homes, and stores inspecting their choices they've made on flooring. It's a blessing and a curse. I enjoy noticing the choices, but I also would rather be focused on my friend's conversations than the tile creeping up the wall beside their head.

Flooring is such a fun industry to be in because there are endless choices, whether you're looking for carpet, hardwood, tile, or laminate and vinyl, you can make your dreams come true at our store. It's interior design with blinders on that keep your focus on the ground. Our customers come in with a counter top, or a cabinet, or a fabric swatch and we get to elaborate and create a beautiful room!

As a wholesale store, we can almost always ensure lower prices than the other guys. But, I like to think our main perk is that we truly care. Gillian, Cindy and myself are the only three you work with and we will drop what we are doing if you need some time to vent about your renovation project or change your selection because it's not working. We are more like a family than anything. (Yes, I am awkwardly inserting myself into the family business without asking... don't judge me)

So, what can you expect from this blog? My awful attempts at being humorous, but more importantly examples of work we've done and helpful hints and tricks to making this process fun and affordable.

Share this with your friends and make me flooring famous!

Until next time,
Amber
