Home & Garden - 14 July 2007

My house is one of those trailer / mobile home type things like the palm harbor homes. The ceiling is cathedral style with a cool wood pattern and the cabinets are wood. The kitchen wall paper screams mobile home, so we want to paint it, but I'm sick of white and tan, and our old house had too much green so we don't want green either. We're thinking blue, but I'm not sure about it. Any suggestions for colors or at least shades of blue?

Thanks!

I do laundry all the time, and my electric bill is getting pretty high. A couple of people told me there are certain times of the day to do laundry. Some told me in the afternoon between 12 pm and 4pm and some have told me at night. What do you recommend?

i mixed a bit of boric acid and sugar..i put it on news paper..i laid it on my hard wood floors...in 3 places and it seems to me that it is 'attracting' the ants..not killing them. Are they suppose to die right there on the paper..or do they go back to their 'home' and die there? Can i also spray around the floor where the paper is and on the paper..or is this defeating the whole purpose of the boric acid

Tell if you live in a apartment or house what state you live in too. Include electricity, heat/ a/c, trash, water/sewer and anything else. Just curious

I have recently moved into a home which is outdated with old gold wall paper and just ugliness. The entire house has a "rustic" feel to it, as there is real wood panneling (not shiny) that is very dark throughout. Its a good sized home at 3500 feet or more. I would like to know how to paint and what colors and what to decorate with in this house. Specifically the dining room, which oddly enough is the entry room from the front door. There isn't a lot of wall space, as its mostly in the dark horizontal wood. I have a few pieces of wrought iron wall decorations that are black, but I have considered painting. The floor in the dining room is hard wood. The trim in the room is dark wood, just plain boards. Any thoughts? I'm sort of stuck here.

Can I reinforce the joist by adding 2 more 2 x 11 inch boards on either side? I'm not concerned with building codes.

I've got all black furniture in my bedroom/office, which chrome accents on little things such as door pulls and dresser drawers.

I just need to decide on a color scheme for the walls and other coordinating colors (such as bedding and wall decor).

Any ideas?

I want to get wall pops and if you dont know what they are its a shape with colors and designs. They come in circles, squares, swirls....... I am finishing my room and I kind of want it to look sort of like a loungy starbucksy chill out fun place. Here is the link to the wall pops- http://www.lowes.com/lowes/lkn?action=productList&No=0&Ntt=wall%20pops&Ntk=i_products&pad=true

Please look at all of them. Now here is the problem.....I have lime green and bright blue paint. My carpet is blue and my bed spread is blue and green. I have blue and green furniture so my whole room is color coordinated. If I get the blue and green ones i am afraid i wont be able to see them....any colors that match on the link i applied?

Please and Thank You!
