Chris Crack Samples

[Adriana Gowen]

Theoriginal bottle(s) shown below are not available for purchase. Scent Split hand-decants genuine fragrances into sample sizes. Scent Split has no affiliation with the manufacturers or brand owners of the designer fragrances.

Here at Scent Split, we specialize in offering samples and decants of a superlative array of fragrances. What we do is spray, pour, or use sterile pipettes to take perfume from its original large bottle and repackage it in a smaller bottle (we only use brand new sterile glass bottles) so that the consumer can try as many fragrances as they desire before buying a full bottle.

I understand that Scent Split has no affiliation, connection, or association with the manufacturers or brand owners of the designer fragrances and that I will receive the fragrance rebottled and repackaged into smaller sample vials from the original bottle.

At OkayFuture Labs, our samples usually aren't royalty-free. We put a lot of effort and time into making them. Each pack has different parts, sounds, and ideas, and it can take us hundreds of hours to get everything just right. Making our samples is a lot more work than making the usual royalty-free ones.

You can use our samples for your own projects, to make beats to sell on websites like Beatstars, and for independent music releases without needing special permission. If a big music label wants to use your music that has our samples, they'll need to talk to us about permission. Some of our sample packs come with a special license that explains how you can use them. But, if you have a big opportunity come up, we're open to discussing how you can use the samples beyond the original license.

Everything you buy from OkayFuture Labs is a digital download. Once you buy something, we can't give refunds, so please listen to the previews we provide to make sure it's what you want. You're not allowed to sell, rent out, or share the stuff you buy from us. Also, you can't put our sounds into other sample packs, drum kits, or collections.

Demo is coming to a close and it's almost time to start rebuilding our new entertaining dining room, among other things. I'm cautiously optimistic that putting it all together is going to be faster because 1. we'll have a larger crew here, and 2. we ran into quite a few surprises in the demo process. Learning and correcting how things were built is a lot harder than building it right the first time (or second time in our case). It's our job to make sure we have all the finishes chosen and on site so once they are ready, they can go, go, go!

The biggest and hardest decision for me has been the flooring for the new dining room. There will be 2 arched doorways leading to the space from the music room and living room. Part of me thought--let's just make it wood flooring so it all blended (we'll be updating all of our wood flooring in the future). But as I was researching and pinning I also recognized this as an opportunity to bring in a bold but classic floor choice. Something that leans historical, but I could modernize. I kept coming back to checkerboard floors. Specifically the ones that were stone and had a lot of variance.

1. This example from Magnolia is not stark black or white. I especially love the wood tones and contrast trim in the photo (elements that our cottage has) that helps me see that something like this could work in seamlessly.

2. Georgianna Lane worked in some mint and marble in the checkerboard below and although the color palette isn't right for our home, it really opened my eyes to the possibilities beyond black and white.

5. Ham Interiors mixed a super soft charcoal with a veiny white marble below. This is when I also started taking note of border vs. no border. And honed vs. shiny. The floors below are honed with no border.

8. Light and Dwell was one of my original inspirations for doing the checkerboard floors in the dining room. I love seeing the transition from wood to tile and how the checkerboard almost feels soft and not over-powering at all. The honed soft black mixed with a light grayish marble is perfection.

With all of the information and inspiration gathered, I ordered some tile samples from Bedrosians (all from the Magnifica line, but I may go back for more). I ordered a couple different blacks, marbles, a gray and a tan. They all arrived polished except the Bardiglietto (gray), so I'm trying to imagine what they would look like honed (which I'm pretty sure is my preference).

My head is honestly spinning right now trying to decide. I like all three! I'm going to see if I can get a sample of the Pietra Gray Honed to see if it's not quite as stark. I really want it to be a little softer in tone. But that's where we're at right now. What do you think? Have a favorite combination?

Hi Julia! I love these floors, and can't wait to see how you all begin building out your dining room! I've been looking at these tiles for our own home, and was curious about the tiles being porcelain. The website lists everything in the collection as being porcelain, but I was wondering if they maybe had a stone top or something? Is there any particular reason you were drawn to this line specifically? I always love hearing your reasoning behind the things that you pick--I feel like you all somehow manage to make everything beautiful and practical all at the same time! Thanks for sharing your home with us!

Luxe White mixed with Bardiglietto gets my vote. I like the subtle old world with modern vibe. And how it will make black details pop. Keep in mind how the undertones of the grey stone will look with the grey of your kitchen cabinets. Is the flooring going to be in the kitchen too?
