Ugly carpet help - purple and green?
We've just moved into our first house, and there are two extra bedrooms that will take us a while to grow into. Painting is our #1 option to transform these spaces into guest rooms on a budget.
The carpets are downright ugly -- the largest room has what I call "dusty plum" - a true, darker purple with pinkish/red tones (the walls are pastel pink and purple right now - a little girls' room).
The smaller room has a lime/peridot carpet - think gender neuteral baby's room (exactly what it was). The walls have a multi-colored baby border and are painted to match the carpet (poor baby has a bad start in the style world already!).
Any recommendations for colors to paint these rooms to tone down or blend these carpets? My first instinct for the purple room is to go with an antique bronze color, and the room is large enough to pull it off. I'm drawing a blank with the green room... any thoughts are appreciated!
a clay color would work but if you hate the carpet so much you can buy dye for your carpets just use a carpet shampoorer instead of water use the dye directions should be on the bottle.

Solid brass and bronze cabinet hinges are a beautiful and elegant way to refurbish your older cabinet door hardware and introduce new patterns into your decor. Although there are many types of hinges available (and is important to pick the right style for your cabinets), solid brass and bronze Victorian cabinet hinges are an especially nice touch. Not only does the solid brass and bronze construction ensure durability and strength, it also can be cast in a variety of ornate designs in many different finishes.
Victorian cabinet hinges are a wonderful and timeless addition to any home. Typically cast in solid brass or bronze, these hinges are available in polished brass, antique brass, oil rubbed bronze, satin nickel, and polished chrome finishes. Most Victorian hinges are called "butt hinges" because the two sides of the hinge come together when the door is closed. The type of design can vary from simple and elegant to intricate designs (cast from lost wax castings).
Victorian cabinet hinges are available today - allowing you to incorporate their patterns into your home. It is a simple way to introduce new architectural styles while enhancing older and worn cabinets and furniture. When replacing your older hinges make sure to follow a few simple steps. First, depending on the weight and height of the door, some cabinets may require more than two hinges to be safely installed. Second, some cabinets require different types of hinges in order to function properly - be sure to double check and ask a contractor or design expert if you are unsure.
Victorian solid brass or bronze cabinet hinges are readily available online as well as in many home decorating catalogs. Search for solid brass or bronze construction and be sure to ask questions.
These hinges can also be found online through LookInTheAttic & Company and they offer free design assistance and help.
