I have the same problem, but I can't see it for another reason...my husband's first wife had White (well, light beige) carpet put in there...can you imagine...white/light beige. It had to be disguised with thread and stash and stuff...it used to be the guest room, then her room, now a sewing room...and they are both gone. Forgot to mention, I also play with polymer clay...so it's colorful in spots. waiting for a wood floor.
