petlover, it will match the red. Shale is prob just a smudge darker than the RP the best way is to grab a sample and bring in home. you can see RP, collingwood and Shale together try the Shale. Graystone is also darker, so maybe try that as well. you'll have to see what it looks like on your wall w/your lighting. Shale is the same tone as Revere, so ask the paint guy if he could darken it by 25% without it affecting the overall 'tones'. But I think it will be darker on your wall than the revere.

I am not a designer, but I have been looking at rugs for my new sectional that was just ordered that is close to your color and style of sectional so I will post what I have found that I like. I am not very adventurous by the way! These are from Joss and Main and Build.com. I am having trouble uploading the pictures from my Chromebook, so I will post the links. https://www.jossandmain.com/rugs/pdp/shores-hand-tufted-silver-area-rug-wlao1497.html?piid=22857749&ds=140702 https://www.jossandmain.com/rugs/pdp/tadashi-hand-woven-wool-navy-bluelight-gray-area-rug-wlao1524.html?piid=24655384&ds=140702 https://www.jossandmain.com/rugs/pdp/beatrix-light-gray-area-rug-mrcr6711.html?piid=19346859 https://www.jossandmain.com/rugs/pdp/elson-grey-area-rug-mtna3393.html?piid=22734773 https://www.jossandmain.com/rugs/pdp/downtown-nolita-yellowgray-area-rug-jilz1039.html?piid=27419792 https://www.jossandmain.com/rugs/pdp/downtown-greenwich-village-bluegray-area-rug-jilz1038.html?piid=27419786 https://www.build.com/surya-pei1007-71110/s1360287?uid=3205444 https://www.build.com/surya-mrh2310-710103/s1359240?uid=3204397

Hi Beth, When I saw Popmama's suggestions I remembered there was a thread not too long ago where I had posted and "seconded" most of what she had already posted, so I went looking for it--and I found it! What I didn't remember was that it was your thread! Easier than trying to repeat it all here, I'm just gonna link the thread. I just looked it over and virtually everything I was gonna say is already in that thread! https://www.houzz.com/discussions/5682766/what-should-i-put-in-shade-area-in-front-of-my-house#n=10 I will add this! The "tall things" I recommended don't bloom very long, so unless you really want a "tall thing," or unless you're gonna put in a good mix of things so you have flowers all/most of the time, you wouldn't have color for very long. Also, especially with the Thalictrum, after it finishes blooming (the "purple fluff" one) the foliage "deteriorates" slowly over summer, so it doesn't look all that great as a "foliage plant!" My Aruncus is just finishing blooming now, and it is definitely pretty cool when it's blooming! If you decide to go with all perennials I highly recommend sticking Bergenia in there somewhere because it's evergreen, so you have "something" out there in winter. It's one of my favorites in my shade bed on the north side of the house. I also love my ferns, and they add great textural variety. In the linked thread, but the Autumn Fern is also "semi-evergreen" so helps add winter interest. And a quick comment about hostas! When you're shopping for them be sure you're checking the heights and not just the "colors." They can range anything from a tiny one I have, Hosta minima, which is only a couple inches tall, to ones that are up to three or possibly even four feet tall, so be sure you get a variety that fits the height you're looking for. Also, hosta is one of the last things to put in an appearance in spring, and one of the first to freeze in the fall, so consider that in your plans too. Everything else I can think of to recommend is in the linked thread--which was on a thread you posted on three forums--but I "took a chance" and decided to post on it anyway! But, like "yesterday's" thread, you had the "same problem" there when the first response, instead of trying to answer your question, suggested that you widen and move your sidewalk! A helpful reply, indeed! Oh, I almost forgot! Your original question on "the other thread" was about hydrangeas! On that I will also second what Popmama said! When I moved into this house there was an Annabelle Hydrangea in the front of my house, which is FULL sun, and........ I just remembered that this is another thing I had posted about at some point in the past, and I was able to find that thread too! See my post in this thread for the Hydrangea info! But, an update! "My" Hydrangea, which is now growing in Longmont at Cheryl's house, is in almost complete shade and it does beautifully for her every year! I don't know if she's ever had a problem, like I did, where the flowers get saturated in rain and "fall over" but I'm pretty sure she hasn't because she's never mentioned it to me. I believe the stems are growing "stronger" now that it's out of the hot sun! And after you read my post in that thread that'll all make sense to you! https://www.houzz.com/discussions/2129095/hydrangeas-along-the-front-range#n=4 After you read all this stuff, if you have any questions about any specific plant, listed on this thread or not, just ask!

Really most of our crystal balls are out of service. The 1 st question is in my mind are you selling or not. The style you describe is a personal one and not really conducive to sale . As for the floor why are they so scratched , what do you do to them? I do not think gray floors with wood walls and trim is a good choice but really I need to see pictures.
