My kitchen, hallway and living room adjoin but have no doors. The woodwork in these 3 areas are different colors. How should the woodwork in the entranceways be painted? Where does one paint color stop and the next start esp. in the arch of the openings?? I can't find a picture to refer to in decorating mags.

My fiance' thinks it's insane for me to vacuum twice per day, but we have 3 cats. Plus, I'm a pretty big clean freak.

I saw on www.aquarelle.co.uk that for a bouquet having a diameter of 30 cms one needs 32 roses, for one of 25 cms: 27 roses and for one of 35 cms in diameter 37 roses. I want to use different varieties of flowers instead of roses, but do not know if this proportions will do. How does a professional florist determine the number of flowers vrs. volume proportion when making a bouquet?

We have some mold stains (from fruit and vegetables that were on top of them) on bamboo cutting boards that we would like to remove. I know I can sand them down, but would prefer to try alternatives first. We have tried hydrogen peroxide (a tip from another source) to no avail. Do you have any suggestions that are known to work without damaging the wood?

I just hate when this happens: How do you prevent tupperware from staining? Don't know if anyone has an answer for this one.
Also, how do you get rid of tupperware that has been stained.

Recently I've noticed that whenever I leave a little bit of water in a dish and put it away, little bugs are born from it, and then later I'll find like thirty little insect corpses strewn about inside the dish. They are about an eigth of an inch, or about 2-3 milimeters in length. I'm not sure if I should be worried that I'm drinking bug egg water or not. I'd like to know how it's affecting my system, and how I would get rid of them if it is a dangerous problem. Oh yeah, I did a little research and found that they may be pinhead crickets... but it's still a little worrisome. Thanks.

My house is on a cove at the lake. With the drought, the lake in front of my house dried out. It's a meadow now. How can I kill the grass (about 3 feet tall) before the rains fill up the lake again? The lake is a city water supply. The area I'm talking about is about 120' long by 20 feet wide. When the lake is full again, I would like for the lake bottom in front of my house to be sandy, not grassy..so swimming will be better.
