Some of the old paper has ripped off very easily down to the plaster but the majority is stuck and very hard to removed. Is there an easy way or a product that helps remove it?

Okay, I'm confused about my Kua number now. I am a female born in September of 1981. I always thought my Kua number was 5. But now I have one place telling me I am an 8 (Earth), and two other places telling me I am a 2 (Earth). Which one is right? And if I'm not a 5, please show/explain the math/logic as to how that works out. Thanks!

I'm painting my bedroom a deep sky blue/teal-ish color and I'm painting my radiator a lavender. But my ceiling is going to be white and it sounds so boring all of a sudden. Any tips to spruce up my room a little bit more? I have a very tight budget.

Also: what is your view on mismatched wood types? Such as: my bed would be a mahogany but my dresser would be a pale oak (I think that's what it is).

I have dining chairs, but not a formal table. I was considering using a folding table and dressing it up with formal table linens. Has anyone tried this and how did it turn out?

The problem is my window is longer than an average rod size. I want to be able to use only one not two seperate rods. My other question would be what hardware to use if I didn't buy anything conventional that would include the hardware needed.

The wallpaper is red, made by Stroheim & Romann. We've tried hot water, hot water & vinegar, and a diluted solution of wallpaper stripper. Nothing has worked so far! I called the manufacturer and they say too much time has passed to safelt remove the glue. It runs along all the seams and is also present on the surface of the paper. I'll try anything! Thanks.

....a 4 bedroom home with a nice kitchen? Or a 3 bedroom home with a nicer bigger kitchen? We are going to redo the kitchen no matther what. And we are looking to sell the home next year. We can redo the kitchen the size as it is--with some definite improvements pretty inexpensively. The problem is the house is old and the dining area is separate. Not really the big trend. Either way, the house has room to expand to whoever buys the house. The upstairs has two super huge bedrooms. An addition could easily add 2 more bedrooms. Or if left as a 4 br, the new owner could easily knock down the existing 4 br to make a big kitchen. These are the two trends that are happening---and our competition...we won't be doing the addition for sure. But, we do need to fix up our kitchen. Knocking down the wall would add to our expenses....so the big question is do we do it, or leave it for the next owner. Thoughts?
