I have these great "block out" curtains on my big living room window but they are just blah brown...my colors are more dark chocolate, sand and deep red. The curtains are great for reducing glare and keeping my living room private but they are boring...any ideas to change them into something more WOW!?

I have an old '50's-style bathroom with GREEN ceramic tile bordered in black (ugh!) on the walls in the tub and vanity area, as well as small green mosaic-style tile on the floor. I hate it! I'd LOVE to paint the bathroom all white. The tiles are in pretty good condition. Is there any easy way to paint over them and not have the paint come off ? What kind of paint would I use?

I purchased a griddle pan at a local department store. When I got it home, I found that the manufacturer's sticker would not come off the bottom of the pan. I've tried soaking the pan in hot water and soap, scrubbing relentlessly and running it through the dishwasher. Any good ideas?

the soil is very bad, and I was planning to dig in about 2 gallons of used coffee grounds where I am going to plant potatoes. Would it be good for the potatoes, or harm them? Or should I put them elsewhere?

My Maytag 1994 stacking washer/dryer agitator stopped working and smelled like it the motor was burning up. It makes a whining noise and won't move. I assume repairing it might cost $500 or more. Is it worth it?

I did not see bid mark on the surface of plum.As the plum is still green,I see no worm inside. As the plum is almost turning into purple color,one about 5 mm long worm grows inside near the nut section. This worm shall bid through and comes out. About 70% plum has this worm. How to avoid it ? Plum tree has other kind of green insect that grows hundred on each young green leave. They hide under the leave. I was told this insect was brought by the ant. This insect seems producing some kind of sweet that feed the ant,because I saw many ant climb to the tree at the same time as this green insect starts growing. Some other year,this same insect might turn into black color. How to kill them? They kill most young leave. Same kind of worm and green insect spread to my other cherry tree,and producing the same kind of damages. Some water base insecticide did not work well in Montreal summer time because raining every three day.

My house is relatively clean. We don't leave food out. We live in a double wide trailer but we have put down cement blocks around the whole bottom of the house. Before we put the blocks down the mouse problem was worse. They always show up during the cold Minnesota winters. I have only ever seen and caught one in the summer. We have caught about ten during all the winters combined. We have one of those electronic mouse repellents. When we saw the mouse it was not plugged in. I have tried cotton balls soaked in peppermint oil. We have put decon under the house. Getting a cat is not an option. We use the glue traps. My husband has put that foam Great Stuff around all the holes in the sink and stuff. They always come in from behind the fridge or dishwasher. Do you think that is where they are getting in at? Can you pull a dishwasher out to plug up any holes? What else can I do? Please helpl.
