I feel that way too!
That's why I particularly loathe the dead duck kitchen. Even though it was beautifully coordinated and really quite attractive, I don't hunt and don't care to see decoys and ducks about to have their heads blown off.
There's a wonderful series of ceramic New Orleans landmarks, including ones that "ain't dere no more". I started collecting them after Katrina, when I was feeling particularly affectionate towards my city. But I'm not going to hang them on dead ducks. I'm just not.
Sea green sounds very restful. How did you achieve the variation in color? I think the reason my husband likes the amethyst walls is that the sage green is such a wonderfully cool and neutral shade with a silverish cast.
They redid the main bathroom in a rich terra cotta. It's taken some getting used to, and fortunately the lights needed to be replaced anyway. The old fluorescent just would not have done. My husband has a nasty habit of not finishing projects, though. So bits of the naked wall where the wallpaper was removed still show in conspicuous places. I have that habit too, so I can't really complain.
I was thinking of that old standby, butter yellow and deep blue, in the kitchen. My husband favors a floral theme to the stained glass. Which is fine, I suppose. I think something like the design of "Four O'Clocks" redone for mosaic and in different colors would be good behind the stove. :)

Or "Orchids" maybe?

What I'd really like to do is something along the lines of Dianne Milsap or - simplified for glass, but I don't think I have the artistic ability. And my husband probably wouldn't approve.
