I want to use the color scheme chocolate brown/ivory/turquoise in my bedroom and was thinking of painting the walls chocolate brown and leaving the trim white. What color of furniture would look best and what color do I paint the vaulted ceiling. I want it warm and cozy, not dark and boxed in.

The house might not be in liveable conditions. I cleaned the house and left it in better condition than when we moved in. The electrical wiring in the house is real bad. Landlord says, "the wires in the house are real old and we would have to tear the house apart to fix." We haven't taken pictures. They are lying about things that are wrong with the house to get more money back.

I had some rushes appear in my garden without planting them. They are well behaved, not spreading anywhere though they have been in my garden for a couple of years. I saw some at a garden shop for sale, but some websites suggest they are weeds or invasive. I live in the Pacific Northwest. anybody know this plant?

I am a bit disappointed. The walls were clean and all repairs taken care of. I used an edger and new rollers to paint. it looks blotchy from the side. Will a second coat hide this or should I go back to a flat sheen?

I have violets growing under a tree...I know that violets like neutral soil, about pH 7. The Soil is at pH 5.5 right now, and they are yellowing a bit. I know that coffee grounds make the soil more acidic, but I didn't know if there was anything out there (maybe baking soda) that would make the soil more alkaline.

When I first got my double impatiens they were dark pink and white. They were striped with just as much white as pink. Now they are almost all dark pink with very little white remaining at the edges. The plant is healthy and still flowering nicely but I miss the original color. Can anyone tell me how to restore them.

I am ready to paint my living room and kitchen. But the dilemma is how to divide this room?

Take a look at the pictures on this link. And picture one big room. The living room and kitchen are in the same area. So, should I paint the kitchen and living room area as slightly different colors? WIll that look strange?

Should I go for one uniform color throughout the room?

Should I go for accent wall for the wall with fireplace?

What should I do?

and yes, any paint color suggestions are welcome. Btw, those curtains are Dark Olive Green.

Please help. Want to start this project over the weekend.

What is a good use for empty plastic water bottles, the kind we buy in a 24 pack with 8 oz. of drinking water in? Isn't there some useful ideal for them instead of sending them to the garbage?

Can you ask renters not to wear shoes in the house? I do not allow shoes to be worn in my home and expect guests to take off theirs when they come in. How do I ask renters and their family and friends take their shoes off?

I know this sounds like a dumb question, but would there be a major difference in price? In all of your opinions, what would be a general estimate?

We have a new pond dug out and has a small spring feeding it. We want to use it to swim. It is about 70 ft by 100 ft. Also about 12-16 ft deep at the center. I have already place Aquashade in it. There are a few frogs in it and I'm afraid the tadpoles will become frogs and ALL stick around. The Mosquito fish question is to keep the Mosquitos down. I hear they will eat everything including other fish included and have 1000's of babies. Are they gonna be a problem also?

I planted a sunflower seed in a pot a few weeks ago. Although it is growing tall, it doesn't seem it's very healthy. Its colour is very light green, and the second set of leaves is not opening.

The pot can't leave the office since we're in a competition, so I've put the pot under a desk light and leave the light on night and day.

Please help me what is going wrong and what I should do to make it look healthy.

Thanks,
K
