Hi everyone! I've got ants in my kitchen and they are really hard to get rid of! I've tried 'Ant Rid' in the past, but no luck! Is it just a matter of cleaning all surfaces really well, so there's nothing for them to eat?

The dimension of the formal living of my house is 10x 13 feet. I need to furnish it…any suggestions? What do you think about sectionals? Is it okay to use sectionals in a formal living area? I was also thinking about accent chairs and a round cocktail table in the centre. Which is the best place to shop for furniture in Dallas TX.

In my kitchen I have an ant problem and believe it or not, even the exterminator cannot get rid of them. I don't want to fumigate the house for fear that won't even get rid of them. Is there another proven way that I can rid my kitchen of these ants once and for all. Any possible natural methods. We keep the kitchen clean yet the ants seem to always make their appearance. Help!!

I'd like to update our family room walls a bit, but can't decide if I should put pictures of our kids all over or artwork? If artwork, should it be all from the same artist? Also, thoughts on the large iron barn stars, too country? Our a large wall clock? The room is kind of small...

I have brown suede couches, goldish-tan paint on the walls. In particular I have a four foot space above the couch which is in between two large windows - this could be a space for a barn star, or clock, or ? Also, we have one large wall without couches underneath, just a leather chair/side table at the edge of the wall. How do I make something look like it belongs there and not just floating?

My style is kind of modern country, I like the look in Pottery Barn. Any ideas on how to make a room look together? Thank you!

The light comes on inside, and the motor or fan seems to be running. The freezer is still making ice and water comes out of the ice maker. This has been going on for 2-3 days. We took everything out. The freezer/fridge is a vertical combo

I always wash all my black shirts together in cold water and timed dry them for the very minimum time to dry them so they don't shrink. I use Tide, the supposed best at stopping color fading and still in 2 or 3 weeks they are greying...

I got most of the blood out but there is still a thin layer of it where the blood pooled up for about an hour. Does anyone know the best way to remove the stains? Will they be detectable in the drain?

My kitchen is very small and "L" shaped. Right now I have the walls painted a sage green color, which I want to keep. My cabinets are plain with no wood designs or anything, and they're stained a very dark, walnut type of color. My floor is vinyl floor tiles in a light beige white marble kind of pattern. My appliances are bisque color. I'm wondering if I should paint my cabinets a cream color, or antique white color or if I should refinish and stain them a lighter wood color - like light oak. I'd rather restain, but I'm also wondering how long it would take to sand down to the natural wood color. Any help would be appreciated because I can't make up my mind.

We have two totally looking end tables on our bedroom. I am planning on refinishing them and get them the same color. A cherry wood to match a dresser and Armour. I am just wondering if it will still look good! I dont want to shell out a bunch of cash for new ones (just to be matching ones) and my boyfriends is centimental and there is no way I am going to make hime part with it, so I am just going to refinsh it. Has anyone else done anything like this, how does it look?

I bought this beatiful wood dining table (not sure what kind of wood) a few days ago, but the table top scratched quite easily. So I bought some Minwax clear lacquer and put a few coats on it to help protect it. I followed all the instructions, and the first coat went fine. For the second coat, I used a fresh brush, and the bristles fell out of the paint brush while I was applying and dried into the lacquer. Even if I manage to pick out the bristles, it still leaves a crack - that looks like a scratch - in the lacquer. The appearance of scratches was exactly what I was trying to prevent. I can't change the past. What is done is done. Does anyone have any solutions for a fix?
