I need some help picking out frieze carpet!!
Comments (17)This has probably all been rectified, but I have to comment on Mr. Owen's post. PTT polyester, also knows as Triexta, has a number of benefits over PET polyester... 1) Softness - one touch will tell you that, you don't need me to and it is softer than 90% of nylons too 2) Durability - PETs do have less resilience and are less durable overall. 3) Stain and soil resistance - Just about all PETs still have topical protectants added to them for stain and soil resistance. Triexta does not. 4) Improved resistance to peroxides and even bleaches. PETs are ok with benzoyl peroxides, but stop short of resisting bleach. Triexta more resistant to both. Your "unbiased" link says the following: TRIEXTA Also, in the Polyester family is its superior cousin PTT. This fiber is known as SMARTSTRAND (trademark) when marketed by Mohawk. Mohawk recently received FTC approval to market this fiber under its onwn class. This PTT fiber will now be know as TRIEXTA. In the future you will see more about this name change. This fiber is even stronger than PET polyester, and has better colorfastness and cleanability features than PET. PTT is as colorfast as solution dyed nylon. This fiber is extremely soft, and yet behaves better than staple nylon, especially in a shag construction. If you have kids and pets, and are going to be in the home more than 10 years, PTT is a good choice; especially the 3GT Sorona Dupont Polymer offered in some Mohawk carpets. I have not had a consumer complaint on this fiber in the four years I have been selling it. By the way, PTT is just one step away chemically from 4GT polyester that is used to make tough auto parts. Triexta will indeed be a fiber for the future. Lookout Stainmaster! So sounds like everyone is selling Mohawk SmartStrand... CG...See MoreHelp with kitchen wall color and backsplash. Pictures inside.
Comments (34)I have gold/tan marble, with espresso cabs. And a gold/tan/grey backsplash. And tan walls. And a golden-hued floor. Sometimes I feel that my kitchen is too... tan. In your kitchen, I would try to tie the backsplash in with the granite, but then I would paint the walls... blue, or green, or grey, to provide a counterpoint to the tan. How about this backsplash? It could tie in with tan granite and blue/green/grey walls. Of course you would want to test a sample, first, to make sure it really works with the backsplash. Here is a link that might be useful: backsplash with both tan and cool colors...See MoreNeed help picking out colors for my bedroom

Comments (6)Thank you all for the suggestions! We plan to tackle the carpeted area, just looking for flooring to match the rest of the house. It is right by the front door, but the section was odd and the color was a light beige. Also, new backsplash and countertops will be added to the kitchen so thanks for pointing that out! I plant to remove that mantle and paint the brick around the fireplace. Thanks for the suggestions. I will definitely post pictures along the way....See MoreRelated Professionals
