The best way to make them dust free ?

I have a small room that's baby blue on the walls and white on the ceiling. It feels too lite to me and not very welcoming. What are some nice color combinations so I'll feel more at home. Also I'm wanting to take up the linoleum tiles and replace it with carpet. If possible I'd like to keep the ceiling white. What colors would look good with that? The only furniture I have in the room is a bed with blue sheets, skirt, and comforter along with a computer desk and dresser that are wood toned and a small tv cart that's black. Thanks.

The light bulb in my light fixture is burned out but I cant figure out how to take the glass dome off to replace it. There are not any visible screws that I have found yet and nothing at the bottom of the dome to unscrew. Any Ideas???

All tapes have these same markings. I've asked people in the trades and have struck out. Does anybody out there know what these markings indicate?

We have a painting company RJH Painting LLC, Painting our whole interior of our house. I am very happy with the quality of work they are doing. They are very clean, very fast, and very maticulous on every detail. My wife and I want to show our appreciation and think a tip is well deserved. How much should we tip them?
We have a 3800 sq foot house, multiple colors, and they have been on the job for two days and already more then 3/4 of the house is complete and they have moved pretty much any furniture needed to be moved some of which is very heavy.
Other then us offering something to drink, I feel a tip is well deserved, so how much would be appropriate?

I cannot get into the cellar (frozen completely shut) to see if there was a burst. Right now I have the hot water handle turned "on" a bit, to see if water ends up coming through. Fortunately the bathtub is still working, so my dirty coffee mugs are happily soaking away. I'm worried/scared -- there's no money for a plumber. Is there something I can do NOW? Anything? Thank you in advance --- (It's evening, and getting colder by the minute... ugh.)

I've looked on the internet for this and I didn't find any answer that I really liked. I'd like to make some homemade sachets that I can put in closets & drawers. I'm totally okay on how to make the bags I guess I'd like some easy ideas on how to make the potpourri that goes inside without spending a fortune. Thanks.

Hubby got me a bunch of cast irons for Christmas and I was told by a friend that I may never get the privilage of using them because you can't use them with the type of cook top I have. It is a flat black glass cooktop. If this is true, why is this? Will it harm my cooktop or the cast irons?

What's the best way to keep clean, laundered sheets from getting the stale smell? I have 6 sets of sheets for my bed and if some of them sit on the shelf for a couple of months before I use them, they have this stale smell that I hate. I end up re-washing them before I use them. Of course, this defeats the purpose of washing them the first time. Suggestions?

My 19 Month old baby girl drank a small amount of soap today. She grabbed the cup of the laundry soap after I just finished putting laundry in the washer so there was some soap residue that dripped down the cup,guess 2tbs or more. I call Posion Controll and they said she would be fine but they didnt ask what kind of soap she drank...so Now Im worrying..wich I tend to worry to much...she is getting a small rash on her cheeks...but no where else..and she is acting normal. I just wondering if anyone else has experanced this and could posion controll be wrong?? It was ALL FREE AND CLEAR Laudry Soap. I' going to call Poison control again for my own peace of mind.

Should you leave the toilet door wide open or close it after stinking the place out, bearing in mind there is no window in the bathroom & the extractor fan is not working (we do not have air freshener either)?
The kitchen faces the bathroom.
