Our small 1962 ranch home had brand-new seafoam green carpet installed just before we bought it nearly 10 years ago, and we didn't have the heart to rip it all out, even though we know there are hardwood floors under the carpeting. The color doesn't go with anything we own and it grates on me every day. I'm battling stage IV cancer and the very thought of the work that would need to go into pulling up that carpet--especially if the floors need to be refinished--is just too overwhelming. So I guess I needed the inspiration of this post to help me figure out ways to live with the color. Thanks! :)Lorettahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08222948630932253664noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6575237890797665624.post-58670911076751315422010-06-10T04:34:02.320-04:002010-06-10T04:34:02.320-04:00Hi Grace,

I think the colours are great. Another cue, look to nature. Good idea. I'm not sure that I really like a lot of red with the darker neutral brown scheme.Sarahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15356018786442529490noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6575237890797665624.post-53465629347273273772010-06-09T13:54:30.273-04:002010-06-09T13:54:30.273-04:00I am so loving this colour seafoam Grace!

I like the photo of the orange red cabinet with the sea foam and lastly i love the photo of the table and chairs that are striped green and blues perfect i think!Pamelahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08927138217537614502noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6575237890797665624.post-41011360501311425192010-06-09T10:01:05.539-04:002010-06-09T10:01:05.539-04:00Her couch is beautiful but I'm not seeing sea ...Her couch is beautiful but I'm not seeing sea foam when I look at it. I think it might be the wall color or drapes that is making it read sea foam but like you said it has a lot of gray undertones. It's very neutral and she could go a lot of different ways with it. Depending on the mood she wants to create. Great inspirational pics!Anita @ GoingALittleCoastalhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02601157532080826275noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6575237890797665624.post-48992285927928379362010-06-09T09:28:03.583-04:002010-06-09T09:28:03.583-04:00Grace!

I love all the pictures. <br /><br />I was also choosing a colour for the exterior of my house, and decided to throw a swatch on the living room wall and really liked it. It is the almost the same colour as in your 'dark neutral' picture but I just came across it by accident! A lot like the bed cover in one of the pics. I actually have a bed cover in the same colour. Sometimes the answers are so obvious that you don't see them.<br /><br />I had not thought to throw some red in with that. So should all the walls be the dark neutral or just use it on the big wall behind the sofa? I am just thinking that this is a small house. Thanks for all the inspiration!Sarahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15356018786442529490noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6575237890797665624.post-87685528390407894402010-06-09T07:35:37.567-04:002010-06-09T07:35:37.567-04:00How fun.

Of course I like the seafoam, brown and add red but I also love the seafaom, brown and add blue and lots of white. Those are great pictures of wonderful ideas. Can't wait to see what she likes.COTTAG3https://www.blogger.com/profile/12843182432726747861noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6575237890797665624.post-61068852178505957212010-06-09T06:54:38.154-04:002010-06-09T06:54:38.154-04:00Gorgeous, gorgeous, gorgeous Grace...you picked my...Gorgeous, gorgeous, gorgeous Grace...you picked my favourite colour and put together a great post!!!<br /><br />jeanne:)<br /><br />PS..thanks for following...I look forward to following you too :)Jeanne Henriqueshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07986759909478180763noreply@blogger.com
