Decorating & Remodeling - August 2006

My dorm room came with a desk lamp but it's really boring. I can't take the lampshade off and i don't want to buy a new lamp. Is there a way I can embelish it. Keep in mind I am a "starving student". Thanx!

I have a candlestand that has these notches sticking out of it (there are 7 spots), i thought it would be easy placing the candles on the candlestand but apparently there must be some way to easily place the candles on it, i've tried screwing the candles on (as is), and even warming the base of the candles a little bit but it doesn't work, instead there is a big mess of wax powder under the candle base.

I have a mirror and table that you put in an entrance hall that I would like to antique. I have a base of bronze, which is very pretty, but it is not 'complete'. Thanks for your help.

I have a rectangular basement family room, 11 feet by 22 feet (ceiling is white, 8 feet high), there is a door going through a narrow wall, and two windows (5 feet long, 3 feet high, each) on the right side long wall, with a ledge under the windows. We will lay Red Oak Gunstock laminate floor, which looks very similar to hardwood (individual planks that are 2" wide, 3 different lengths.)
On the left and front wall I will paint a darkish Balkan Sea blue.

On the right wall with the windows, and the narrow wall with the door through it, will paint it Wilton Blue.

Will have white baseboard trim and window casing trim.
I think painting the whole room Balkan Sea would make the room too dark looking.

My home is very modern. My bedroom has hardwood floors, a very light wood bedroom set, black, gray, and white bedding. I have a 3 tier TV stand and want to put something decorative on the shelves which are polished nickel baskets (sort of) any ideas ?

OK, my room is a rectangular room, with the ceiling slanted then flat at the top, if that makes sense, Anways, the ceiling and two short walls are white, and the two long walls are royal blue. Also, the closet's white. All I know for sure is that I want my room more colorful, inviting and awesome! I know for sure that I'm painting vertical lime green stripes over the blue walls, but beyond that, I don't know what I want to do. I was thinking of havning the main color scheme blue, lime green and perhaps pink, but I need ideas of an awesome looking room! if you could help, thatnks...

I have a Sears and Robuck home, built in 1926. The trim and molding throughout the house is clear pine, which has either been varnished or shellacked. Over time, the people who have painted have dripped, or missed, and there is paint where there shouldn't be. I am trying to decide whether or not to try to get it off, or just paint the trim.

My couch cushions need to be restuffed, preferably with 90/10 down combination. There must be outlets/factories somewhere - where the pros go - that we can go to too but pay less than custom furniture stores charge. Los Angeles area.
