My living room has taupe and opens into my dining room which has denim blue walls. My living room furniture is big overstuffed denim with black media/shelves/accents and white curtains. Then there is the overwhelming Simpsons collection that is all over the place...that's not me. Anyways, I just put copper slate tile down in the entryway so the sunshine yellow had to go. But, I can't decide on a new color...any suggestions?

I was told that if you have a wall of windows that you can't see inside if there are exterior lights aiming downward stretched along the overhang/soffit

Our house is definitely a "starter" house and a fixer upper, and it isn't bad... except for the tiny sized ONLY bathroom. The layout is horrible, the decorating is horrible, and the storage is..ew. That is all I can say. Here is our lovely little piece of you know what.

Color ideas? Storage ideas? Any ideas to make this space useable? lol, oh and the shower curtain is staying :P I was planning on red for the room, but I heard dark colors make the space look smaller. We like the whole "mod" red, black, white look..

I bought a potted rose that is in about an 8" pott from the local grocery store and it came with the foil around the bottom. I kept watering it daily until i realized all the water was sitting at the bottom because the foil could not drain. since then i have put it outside to drain and it is looking pretty weak.(It has lots of green leaves, the roses are just shriveling up) What more can i do to make the rose better? Should i cut off the roses to concentrate its efforts towards making itself better?


Its a rose I Would Like to Keep in the pot and then plant after fourth of July?

What Can I Do?

I have had several people tell me that Maple cabinets with a dark glaze or stain are very in. I need advice about floor colouring to go with these. The appliances will be black and I need help from you decorators out there as to what colour tile I should pick for my floors. Maybe even suggest a wall colour.

I am getting unfinished cabinets so that I can paint them. My kitchen is a blank slate, I just don't know what to do! I have hardwood floors, lots of windows. I don't even know what color to paint my walls. I would like to have some color in my cabinets, I want them to be fun, but elegant. We live in the country in SC and my house is a little cottage (picket fence and all) Colors I already have in my kitchen are: my china is pink, my Kitchenaid is a pale yellow, my hoosier cabinet has some green in it. I really am a country type person, so modern looks like "black and white" won't work! I would like to use several colors if possible, and I will be doing some distressing. Let me know what you think, if you have interesting cabinets I would love to see pictures!

My grandfather has a Briggs and Stratton 12 HP Sentennial riding lawn mower. He told me he thinks he needs to grease the gears in the rear end. We took the rear end off and see no plug to do so. Is it possible to do so?

I bought a window AC unit yesterday, and installed it. It was working for a few hours and later I found the electricity off to that bedroom and bathroom. I checked the fuse box and the fuse is alright. I turned back on a few hours later and it smelled like something was burning. I unplugged the AC unit and gave up on that idea. What can I do to restore electricity to those rooms?

I am awash in a sea of misinformation, between what I read about the durability of marble and what the salesman tells me. Is Carrera marble harder than others? Is it difficult to keep clean? Is it too soft for near the sink & stove? Does it stain easily? I guess what I'm asking is....what's the worse that can happen?

Ok, in my previous post I asked what could be causing golf ball sized holes in my yard... It's probably moles..Anyway, I was thinking do you think it would be a good method to put my dogs hair in the holes to maybe scare them off? I know they have poor eyesight/but a good sense of smell...Tell me what you think... I vacuum everyday and brush my dog every week, so there's plenty of hair...
