I just moved into one of my friends' moms' buildings (her mom is the landlord) and the apartment was not painted... Is she supposed to paint or is it my choice? I asked her if it was okay to paint and she said sure. But I am unsure if she is supposed to paint...

I once saw in a contractor actually put lights in the window sill of a north facing window to add the effect that lots of natural light was coming in even thought it wasn't. Anyone ever done this? Should the lights go up in the window or in the ceiling right in front of the window. I have a very old window and don't want to screw it up. Any thoughts on lighting windows to improve the overall feel of a dark room? Right now I just have recessed lighting. Should I focus on lamps, a chandelier or the window lighting?

this is remodel work and several outlets have been added and now they are overheating with use...even if only one outlet is being used. If more than one counter top appliance is being used it will trip a circuit breaker. The outlets are very hot to the touch..we have stopped using all of them until we come up with a solution to prevent a fire hazard......circuit testers show wiring ok (the yellow ones with the lights.

I painted my room in a blood-red color (http://rlhome.polo.com/rlhome/products/paint/items.asp?haid=83&f=lp&start=0) and my room has an integrated bookshelve.
My question is: what color should I paint the trim around the bookshelve? White or Black?
Red and white looks lively and festive, but red and black looks serious and elegant. I would rather go for the black/red combo.
What combo would you choose?

Can anyone suggest any ideas on what I can do to decorate a wall in my living room?

I want to avoid the following:

Picture Frames (Such a hassle for me
Mirrors (Same reason.)
Scotched tape posters/pictures (Enough said.)

The wall is already painted.

My kitchen sink has this fake pull-out drawer looking thing on it - it's a double-sink and under each of them is a small pull-out drawer teaser. Our nieghbors has theirs so it'll flip down and they can store the kitchen sponge and SOS pads and such in it - it declutters the area very nicely. Any idea if it's easy to do or how to even go about doing it?

My cousin has turquoise tile in her bath room. She wants to leave it as she doesn't have the money to change it. Her floor , toylet and sink are white. What color would look good on the walls. She liked a pale yellow. I thought maybe a creamy white. But there are so many whites and yellows Does any one actally know a brand of paint and a color to use that would look good.? It doesn't have to be in the white or yellow family. Just so it looks good. Thank you in advance for any help you can offer.

I want to paint my room, and I want to know exactly what I need to buy.
Here is what I already have:
Paint
Brushes(small, medium, and large)

Two large tarps(for the bed and the desk)

Are any of these unnecessary? Also, how much paint is needed per square foot?
Thanks for your help!
