My apartment door opens directly into my dining room. There is no vestibule. And that is the problem. There is no sense of transition from the outside apartment hallway and the interior of my apartment. How can I make this door less glaring? The door is in the corner of the room. I was thinking of perhaps wall-hangings or large plants? What about placing something very eye-catching by the door (like a large vase) to distract the eye from the door? I am also considering a room divider or privacy screen . . . but the problem is that the room itself is not all that large, about 17' X 15', and I fear screens or room dividers would dwarf the room itself. The walls are mostly off-white and so is the door color. This door is so "intrusive" it's driving me crazy. Please help. Thanks.

I've tried Leons and The Brick. Ikea doesn't have any in dark wood.

i want to paint one of my bedroom walls with chalkboard paint
it is slightly textured but not too badly plus another coat of paint will make it even more smooth.
has anyone used chalkboard paint on a textured wall? and has it been very difficult to use the chalk on it?

There was tangerine orange underneath that I am going to cover with a very light peach. I might want to try a faux technique if I have enough time left.

My son is 10 but he likes cowboy stuff. He has a cowboy hat, clothes, and a rope. Any ideas on how to tie in a cowboy theme into his bedroom. I don't want anything too baby-ish. Something he can grow into his teenage years.

I want to keep its colors and put it on my wall for show . I was wondering how to get the meat out of the middle without breaking the shell and what to use to preserve the shell afterwards.
Thank you

I have an '84 Peidmont trailer with a cracked (plastic) tub. The tub is 54 inches long and the bathroom is 54 inches wide. A 54 inch tub from Home Depot will not work becouse it has a solid face to it. When you spin it in the small bathroom the diaganal messurement is greater than 54 inches.

My new home is built near the beach (far from a 'beach home' though) and the property is mostly sand. After 1.5 years, I have some grass growing, but its far from being a nice yard. What do I have to do to make something decent of this yard?

I would really like to avoid scraping 2 feet off and buying topsoil-- $$ no thanks. Is there anything else I can do to get more grass?

It is usually found above the front door of colonial-style houses. It is a small overhanging roof that juts out from the front of the house & protects you from the rain. It usually has scroll-work on the sides & is sometimes painted complimentary multi-colors.

We just got done with our curtains project and have 60-70 curtain rings, that we can't return. These are beautiful sandalwood color rings with white washed for an antique finish. I was thinking of using them for a creative project, but I am not the creative type. So, need some suggestions. If it comes out nice, it may even adorn this empty 80-inch wide wall (in the same room which has a modern decor). Thanks for your suggestions. Any picture or DIY links would also help.

My cabinets, windows, and door are dark wood in my kitchen. The chair rail molding, baseboards, and cabinets are white. Counter tops are white but can easily change. I love the dark wood but will change for the right color scheme. I hate grays and drab colors. I love yellow but dont like the yellow/green combo.

I have installed a set of windows that resemble a Palladian grouping (one large picture window with a circle top and two shorter casement windows on either side).. I have not settled on how to finish off the casing on the interior and am looking for pictures of similar designs for inspiration.

We've just finished completely renovating our house and it's virtually unfurnished. We now want to start decorating but every interior designer we speak to says "tell us what you want". The problem is, we don't know what we want! Where do we start?

I am looking for somewhere that sells a high quality pirate themed nurshery set. Something that looks old, as cheezy as it seems, something that looks Pirates of the Carribean. Anyone know of a place? I would apprectiate any suggestions.
