Home & Garden - 7 September 2006

My livingroom is quite small and north facing. Its obviously quite a dark room with only one patio window. I would like to know what would be the best colours to use in such a room to brighten it up. I am a little bored with the creams and beiges. Any suggestions?

What is the best thing I can use that would remove dried primer from wood trim?

PS - this IS a rental, so I can't do anything drastic.

The wood trim is probably not even real wood...

Any ideas?

I'm thinking of completely digging up and re-doing my garden beds. I'll definitely put down newspaper, but I suspect that won't be enough to prevent weeds completely. Short of laying concrete, what else can I do?

My plumerias are 1 year old. I bought them last summer. They bloomed beautifully last year. They stayed in the garage all winter and had beatiful leaves come out in the spring before I brought them out in June. I live in the Bay Area (Northern California). Did anyone have any blooms this year? Or is it the funny weather we had lately?

I would like to ask on how you wash and take care of your clothes. I buy my clothes from respectable retailers and stores thinking that high prices and store name would give me good quality clothes that would last atleast 6 months or so without looking dull or colorfaded.

I grew up in a family with maids and I have no experience washing and ironing clothes til about a year ago. I want to ask some techniques or ways that I could preserve the quality of my shirts, pants and other wears when washing and ironing them.
