Home & Garden - 9 February 2007

I currently have very nice oak cabinets and white appliances. My walls currently have green/burgandy sponge painting all over white walls and burgandy trim with a burgandy/green border near the ceiling. It is too loud for me. I was thinking of painting the walls a creamy soft yellow. I don't want to change the burgandy trim if I don't have to. Also, I was thinking of changing the flooring to either terrecotta colored tiles (or lineloum) or maybe a neutral/beige tile. It is a rather large kitchen with medium sunlight, but very nice receding lights in ceiling. I also have an oak island in the middle of the room, and a white table and white chairs with oak legs. Your thoughts would really help me. Thanks!

BK

P.S. Can I paint directly over the sponge painting?

We would like to clean the wall's instead of repainting them.

I have a little room that is just for my toilet. I really like the look of a padded room with a little chandelier but am not sure if I should do it or not!!!! Please help...

I am about to purchase an electric dryer. Unfortunately the previouse residents had a gas dryer. So, the outlet in the laundry room is just a regular everyday outlet (like the kind you would plug a lamp or toaster into).

Anyway, I know I will need to purchase the appropriate outlet and install a higher capacity breaker (to take place of the one there).

Is there anything else I need to do? Any tips?

I'm moving to a new apartment with tons of wall space, and I don't have enough artwork / wall hangings to fill it! What are some good do-it-yourself ideas for this?

FYI, I'm almost 29, so tacking up posters is too juvenile for me.

I have tried baking soda, spray air fresheners, spray bleach, spray anti-bacterial cleaner, and sprinkling comet in it. I live in an apartment, so I can't take it outside and hose it out (no hose). What can I do?? It smells like old fruit!

I've already moved the thing as far away from the kitchen as possible, but it still goes off constantly whenever I cook anything. Toasting a bagel to even a light brown will cause the siren to sound within a couple minutes. I swear, I'm not THAT bad at cooking.

My washing machine Zanussi ZWF 1210W is leaking water from underneath. The door seal gasket has become loose from the drum, is there any other way of replacing the seal gasket apart from taking the drum out from the back of the machine - can you get to it from the front.
