A fuschia or teal would look especially good with the chelsea gray.<br /><br />something like this shade: http://abccarpet.com/color-reform/<br /><br />I think rugsusa and lulu and georgia have much less expensive versions in similar styles.<br /><br />Good luck with your dr's appt!

I think you could also paint the front of the stairs to match the wall color if you ever want to change it up and it would look totally different but still really nice. <br />In terms of a runner I have a suggestion that I've always wanted to try but never had the right stairs. You take a long runner with a pattern and get it cut and hemmed to fit each stair. The pattern is broken up but yet continuous. Any way it might like really neat! Love the Blog thanks for sharing!

My mind was so stuck on black and white that another colour didn't really enter my head so I wasn't expecting that at all. But, as usual, you knock the ball out of the park.

The formulas are completely different and the prof line is amazing. Maybe that's the primer you used.<br /> I use Ellen Kennon's Full Spectrum paint colours and they are formulated with the glidden professional line. At first I thought, "cheap", until I learned this fact.
