Decorating & Remodeling - August 2006

My school apartment has no central light fixture in the living room and I like rooms well lit. What are some good lamps/light bulbs I can buy to light up the room? Links? Much appreciated.

I like the look of hardwoods in bathrooms but I dont know how well it would hold up . . . with the water from the bathtub/shower

Should I just stick with tile?

Now that it is complete, it is awful bright. It may look better once the cabinets are in and all (new construction). Is there anything I can do to tone down the color should it still look bright?

I've burnt several candles now, and at the beginning lots of colorful wax looked good, but now it's kinda disgusting. Any ideas?

He is moving into a house with five of his friends this weekend... any good ideas on what to get/make him, or even the group of friends?
It is a college program house and their theme is cars/working on them.
Thanks!

i am painting my bedroom tomorrow. i personally love the colors i have chosen, but my family, Boyfriend and friends all think i am nuts. Now i am not chaning the colors because i love them, but i want to know if anyone agrees with me that the room will turn out very elegant and nice.
i am painting 3 walls a very soft fluffy grey. One wall a very dark chianti wine and the trim & window frame a very dark navy blue. My furniture is all painted black and will have brushed nickle handles and pulls. My bedspread is about a shade lighter than the wine colored wall and there will be a dark grey throw on the end of it. Am i the only one that thinks this will be a very elegant classy look?

I don't believe that the term I am looking for is used any longer but I believe it was common in europe some time ago.

How do you like them? Are they the quality you expected? Did you install them or pay to have it done? How long have you had them? Tell me if you would buy them again or shop elsewhere. Thanks!

Help me please! I am completely stumped with trying to pick a color for the hallway, dining room, and living room. The hallway is small with 8 doors. The dining room is the largest room in the house with a sliding glass door letting in a lot of sunlight and the living room is very small with one large window that will have to have drapes because it faces the road. My boyfriend likes neutral colors, but I love all colors. Any ideas?

I removed 90 year old wallpaper in my living room to find unprimed (I think) plaster. The plaster walls are very smooth but are covered with a brown film that washes off easily with water. After repairing some cracks, washing, sanding, and priming the walls with a latex primer I am finding that the primer is not adhering to the walls. Once the primer dried I could rub my fingernail over the dried primer and it just peeled off the walls. Is this normal? Did it not dry properly? Should I have used an oil based primer or is there something else I should have done to prepare the old plaster for primer/paint?? Thanks.

We have a steel framed house that has a steel border around the window and drywall on top. We've tried to use drywall anchors to hang the curtains, but the dry wall is not thick enough and we hit the steel frame.

The reason I'm asking this question is because I was wondering if if you would actually save any money by building your own trusses.
