just put in new granite counter tops in NE house. . . we are putting in the backsplash or maybe someone else. .
but finding the right color pattern?
can't do that online, both HD and Lowes had actual tile. BUT HD also had online tiles for incredibly cheap. . . BUT whole box sales only. and only a sample on the wall which was was not able to be taken home and examine the patterns against all the other patterns. can buy a sample on line, but takes two weeks to deliver. . . tried taking pictures on the phone, not good enough. Tried on line, never sure hue saturation and all the other RGB monitor adjustments match reality of the tile. Without the counter tops installed, we picked out 4 different patterns. . At lowes buying samples, i just grabbed one which looked interesting subconsciously, (without conscious analysis) while at the store which we never considered . . turns out that one vs the others we ruminated over with several visits might be the one. .
So there will always be times when b&m store is the best. . .but the simpler the life, the less b&m stores are needed. .
except for food. . . fresh food is the one area of debate. .
Yes, life has changed since the pandemic and the mobile phone at the fastest pace in human history in a positive way. .
The down side is that the entire world is connected to you directly digitally. . .
