| 2007-11-24 | felice karlitz | 10 | 10 | 10 | 10 | No | Thanks Rachel. Your answer helped steer me in one specific direction. Once I did that and explored some off white carpets, it became clear that was the way to go. Also, I hadn't thought of how it would flow from my hardwood hallway floor. The off-white is a much more natural progression. Thanks again. |
