Hey guys, you do so many phantastic things there. Be sure that we appeeciate this video very much. My question: For what reason the stair runner was changed from beige to blue? I needed a bit of time to get used to it, but now I find it great. Was that a historic reason to change the color? Please go on with what you do there. You are great! 🤗👏Regards from Germany! 🙋‍♂️
