I want to make it seem bigger without getting rid of anything. We don't have a basement or attic to put anything in. My bedroom is only a little bigger than my grandmother's walk-in closet.

My furniture:

Twin bed
Nightstand
CD rack (the size of a small bookshelf)
Desk
Stool
2 filing cabinets
Dresser
Table (where I keep schoolbooks and stuff)
2 bookshelves
Kitty litterbox
Chair

The room is really tiny... There is no closet (so there are clothes all over the place), and slanted ceilings make it so I can't have shelves. I also have lots of boxes stacked all over the place full of random stuff with no home.

I need some attractive storage solutions that won't make my room look any smaller. You name it, I've got it, and need to find a place for it. I know it sounds like I need to get rid of some stuff, but I really use almost everything I have.

I have lived here for 7 years, but I am fed up with the mess and the fact that I don't have enough space.

PLEASE help!!

I want to paint on wine glasses and pilsner glasses as Christmas presents. I'm not sure what type of paint to use and well... I have no clue what else I need!
Any advice?

Thanks!

If so where did you go to purchase the items needed and can you efectivaly use Beeswax and put a nice scent into it. Also if you could tell me what scents smell the best, that would also be helpful. Thanks Again, D.

I washed my nursing school uniforms and didn't realize that I had left a tube of Chapstick in my pocket. Well, needless to say, there are unsightly little spots all over my uniforms. Which, is unacceptable and if I don't get it out by Monday, I will be in serious trouble. I have read the various Chapstick/clothing related articles and it seems there are several treatments. My uniforms are blue/white. They are a cotton/poly blend. I cannot use bleach or anything that will discolor them. One of my instructors suggested "Goo gone", but it didn't work. I'm not sure what else to do.

One of my dogs has peed on it. I have already tried urine gone and it didn't work. Can I wash the cover in the washing machine on gentle cycle or will this ruin the cover? Please help! :)

Just got my addition stucco-ed. From the look of it, it will most likely suck (absorb) a lot of paint.
Do I need to prime it first before I paint it? Right now it's just raw, new stucco, float finished.

How do I make a bedroom in an existing room? All I need is two more walls to close off the room + a door. What do I ask for at the renovation store. Having no experience in construction is a better if I do it myself or pay to get it done. Id prefer to do it myself its cheaper. I dont want a solid 4inch wall just a simple room maybe with pannels that act as walls.

I used a band saw to cut the shape roughly and finished it up with a belt sander. The sander has left ripples from where I cut the relief cuts used for when I shaped it first on the band saw. Question is, how do I get rid of these ripples if the Belt sander won't do it.

I don't think my heat strip in a packaged ac/heat central ac/heat unit is enough kilowatts. I know that you can stick a thermometer directly in the vent where the heat comes out and it should be a certain temperature. What is this temperature? We have had an upgrade in the wiring size, an upgrade to A whole new 200 amp service center and there is a 7.5 kilowatt heat strip in the unit. I'm thinking we need a 10 or A 15 kilowatt heat strip instead, now that the wiring has been upgraded and large enough to handle either...Footage wise A 7.5 figures real close but we also have vaulted ceilings in this mobile home... How warm should the temperature be coming directly from the vent? I have had two people at time tell me this and I have forgotten what it was..and the people are no longer here.
