I want to redecorate my room, but I'm not sure how to start. First of all, I have two really ugly, old, worn out tables (a larger one for my TV and other things and a nightstand beside my bed). How can I make them look better without replacing them? I was thinking about buying some fabric to drape over them, a tablecloth of sorts. I would just like to know how I can pull this off without looking like I'm trying to hide something, or my room looking really tacky.

Also, I want an old-Hollywood theme, but need some ideas. For the color scheme, I was thinking black, pink, and white, with some polka dots. Can someone give me ideas for bedding?

Finally.. accessories! I plan on doing some art myself; I think charcoal sketches would look cool, but what should I draw, and how should I frame my art? Just give me any suggestions on decorations that would work with the old-hollywood theme, look really young, glamorous, and creative, and not cost a fortune!

put some kind of crafty idea or the shade. Something unique, not to bright, I am thinking like a slate blue. All suggestions would be appreciated. I don't want to put material over it. I would rather have some ideas maybe with ribbon and beads, or sequence of some sort. Thanks! :D

We're moving in a few weeks and I'm concerned about packing our rectangular glass table top properly.

It will be in a moving truck for approximately 10-12 hours.

Anyone have experience with this?

I accidently locked the door to my bedroom, how I have no idea. It is the kind that has the little pin hole on the front. I tried opening it with a metal hanger, but was unable to get it. I unscrewed the doorknob but the inside will not budge. Any suggestions? Has this happened to anyone before?

Do you like traditional decor such as the way an old castle would be decorated or do you like contemporary Ikea type decor? Why?

this would be a brand new bathroom. house is 1 story on a sloping lot with partial basement and crawl space. the location of the addition is flat ground, not sloping. there is an existing bathroom nearby to the planned addition. we'd be adding 1 toilet, 1 jetted tub and a seperate shower and 2 pedestal sinks

we thought we were growing mint at first. but then the plant started growing a strange fuzzy white flowery top.
i've never seen this before, so i'm just not sure.
could this actually be a weed that killed our mint?
