I just moved into a orange room and 2 black and white Marilyn Monroe pictues that i want to hang up. So my first question is will black and white pictures and orange walls work? Also i was hoping to get brown bedding but that will not work with the black and white will it?
Thanks!

I started a garden this year in Alaska and I have a lot of questions (and surprisingly, a lot growing!). But my first problem is my pumkins, I started them indoors in April and took them outside on Mother's Day. The plant is growing like crazy but I only have a few small pumkins, the biggest is about the size of a grapefruit. Will it grow fast enough to ripen by Halloween? How can I get it to grow faster, and how can I do this better next year? (I also have yellow squash with the same problems...) I appreciate any help, especially any resources so I can avoid these problems later. :)

What do I do with the extra white wire from the wall?

Its driving me crazy! It keep screaming "front door open" when the door is shut. Before I smash the alarm (I'm so mad I don't care why the sensor is malfunctioning) how do I disable the chime?

I'm getting new windows installed in my house and it seems like a good deal, but I've never gotten them before, so I'm not sure. It breaks down to about $500 per window. They are double hung, lifetime warranty, they have weatherstripping inside and are welded together, not screwed. The window itself also has argon (?) and has really nice security features. Is that price typical?

Is it better to use darker colors on walls, and lighter colors for trim and accents, or vice versa? My living room has teal carpet (more blue than green) and I was thinking of very light blue walls, but now I'm second guessing myself trying to think of what kind of window accents to use. Should those be lighter or darker than the walls and carpet? Should I use a rug to cover up the carpet that's there? I'm not good at visualizing these things, and the sherwin williams site doesn't have anything close to my living room, and you can't change the color of the floors. Help!

I'm a teacher who ends up standing on her feet all day long usually. My school's flooring is made up of unleveled concrete. My feet swell and hurt by the end of the day. Does anyone know of a place that sells those rubber padded mats that they use at Walmart? By the way Walmart doesn't sell them, I'm talking about the ones the workers stand on sometimes. If you have any other ideas of what I might do to keep my feet from hurting leave an idea. I already where orthopedic shoes.

This is just a question that creeped into my bored mind during the robotic chore of mowing my lawn. Obviously, when you cut the grass it is chopped off with a single horizontal blade which leaves a straight cut at the top of the plant. But by the time it's time to cut the grass again, the plant has grown into a point at the top.

I am looking to redo our master bedroom, I would like to use a monochromatic color scheme. I am leaning towards a more contemporary look, however my furniture is strictly tradtional(four poster bed) brass hardware. Can I still utilize the look without having to replace the furniture?
