Sugarbaker’s Inspired Spaces Presents…

YOUR ONE STOP DESIGN RESOURCE

By Pamela Hammonds

The Floor Club in Grapevine

For the past decade Suzanne Canalizo has helped countless homeowners fall in love with their homes while updating their living spaces through her design company, Sugarbaker’s Inspired Spaces. Now she’s expanded her reach to include owning The Floor Club in Grapevine, establishing it as a one-stop “design resource” for trade professionals such as designers, builders and architects who will benefit from their trade pricing. Plus they are open to the public for anyone who wants to shop for their own personal projects.

“We’re able to provide the trade a place to order flooring, rugs, fabrics, lighting, hardware and more at wholesale prices, without running all over town, wasting gasoline and time,” Suzanne said. “Professionals can bring in their clients, or send us their clients with job requirements. And we also welcome the public to come in and shop for their needs as well.”

Even if trade professionals already have accounts for vendors, they are encouraged to keep doing business as usual but are free to use The Floor Club’s resources. “New products hit the floor every week, and we are here to keep you updated and informed as soon as we are,”Suzanne said. The Floor Club also offers one-on-one free vendor ‘product knowledge sessions’ for professionals. “This is a great way to help you market your favorite go-to product and know the reasons why it’s superior in its category.”

And while the sign outside reads “The Floor Club,” you’ll be thrilled to see their showroom is complete with a wide array of various products such as a 20-foot wall of fabric books from a dozen vendors and collections of drapery hardware. Purchase confidently from reputable national companies such as Shaw, Mohawk, Nourison, Hunter Douglas, and local vendors including Rick’s Hardware and Passion Lighting.

“Professionals can take advantage of our buying power and purchase small quantities while still enjoying wholesale prices. I want to be a trade partner with them,” Suzanne said. “It’s just like going to market but you don’t have to spend $1,000 with one vendor to meet their minimum order.”

“We hear it all the time: ‘I know what I like, but I can’t put it all together and make the rooms flow,’” Suzanne said. “That’s what we’re here for!”. “We hear it all the time: ‘I know what I like, but I can’t put it all together and make the rooms flow,’” Suzanne said. “That’s what we’re here for!” The Floor Club is affiliated with Abbey Carpet and Floor, which features every kind of flooring imaginable, such as:

Luxurious wall-to-wall carpet

Area rugs and custom designed rugs

Unique hardwoods

GREEN bamboo and cork

Distinctive laminates

Designer glass tile

Stone and Travertine imported from around the globe

Exquisite porcelain

Indoor and outdoor materials

If you’re the DIY-homeowner or someone who needs a little help, Suzanne’s team will be glad to help you with your purchases. “We will come out to your house and measure for flooring,” Suzanne said. “Whether you need a quick update or a major remodel, your dream home should be the one you own right now.” In addition to having a wide array of products, she also has installation experts she’s known and trusted for years.

“People are careful with how they spend money on home repairs and upgrades,” Suzanne said. “But they still want to have a home they love. Now you don’t have to spend days going from store to store around the metroplex to find the best deals. We have every major manufacturer you can think of and if we don’t carry it, we’ll order it in for you.”

Suzanne cautions clients not to be pulled into the big retailers that promise too-good-to-believe prices—especially on flooring. “We not only can beat their prices, but when you buy with us, all your costs are clearly outlined— from materials, to installation, to removal of your old flooring and a one-year guarantee on every installation we do. Plus our manufacturers have some amazing warrantees on their products. We stand behind what we sell and how we install it.”

Whether you’re planning to sell, staying put or just moving in, make sure you come by The Floor Club in Grapevine before you spend a dime of your budget on any home improvement projects.

What’s hot in design today? GREY! From flooring, paint, fabrics

and beyond, grey is the new color in home design. Ranging from soft, pale silver to deep gunmetal, hues of grey are everywhere. “Grey goes well with everything— even earth tones now have grey in them,” Suzanne said. “You can pair grey with so much: brushed nickel, bronze, patina metals in hardware or from white-washed wood to deep-stained cherry in cabinetry. We’re seeing it paired with a resurgence of silvery blues and sage greens. When choosing a white, avoid anything with yellow undertones. We’d love to help people work grey into their design for a fresh look.”
