I love love love Peter Fallico. I am amazed with his design sense, his honesty and his frugulness. But I can't hire him 'cause I don't live in the area. Where do I find someone like him. Maybe I should have contacted him so that he could recommend someone in my area. How do I go about getting a decorator.

I had affixed some mirrored tiles onto my bedroom wall using velcro, and when removing the tiles and velcro strips from the wall, the velcro removed 2 or 3 layers of paint with it! How do I repair this? Will a simple sanding do it? I imagine I couldn't just paint overtop, as the paint layers would show in the texture..

I would really like to add a phone jack, or even just a wire coming out of the wall, in my garage. On the outside of my house, is the telephone companies service box and i opened it and saw that the red and green wires were being used, so i know its those i would need to tap into. Now, what is the easiest way to go through the wall in to the garage? should i go into the attic and find the telephone cables and tap into there, or tap into the wires from the outside and drill through the wall to the garage? I would like to do the second option, but i'm afraid i might drill through an important wire running some of the rooms in my house!!! the spot where the telephone service box is, is right underneath the main circuit breaker in the garage, the box with pretty much all the power running to the house!

WHAT DO I DO!?!? ANY help would be MUCH appreciated!

Thanks,
Cory

p.s.- i DO NOT want to pay an electrician to add a line because last time it cost $175!!
