When Katie moved into her home, the dining room was sporting a mustard-colored paint job and a hunter green carpet inlay. How unappetizing! I can hardly think of a worse color combination. I can’t! I actually just sat here at the computer and tried for a few minutes, and couldn’t come up with anything grosser. But the power of paint worked its magic, and with a fresh carpet inlay and some shadowboxes under the moulding, this room is now a main course! See all the details up close on Katie’s blog Amazing Grays.

On another note re the bad color combo: how about hunter green and burgundy? YUCKY! YUCK! YUCK!
