The windows are expensive mahogany, each with a large single pane of glass but i think they're ugly and that small paned windows would make the house look prettier. Short of spending £30k on new ones (big house), has anyone experience of using simulated glazing bars to visually break up the existing panes?

Back in January of this year I had carpet installed with a leading home improvement store in our area. I have had nothing but problems with the install of the carpet. After 7 or 8 times the carpet does look better but is still not correct.
If anyone has had a problem with a home improvement store please email to me as I would like to hear your problem and what you are doing to correct the install with your carpet?
These people do not care I can tell you with all sincerely do not use a home improvement store to do the install for you.
You can buy the carpet from them but not use their installers.
THD

I have wood parquet tiles and the stores discounted the tiles about a year ago,but only the color I used not the darker color. I'm not replacing cabinets in the same place. I need to fill the void because that place will be open.

I am redecorating my bedroom in the house I just bought. I have all of it done except for the corners and edges because there is one wall that is another color than the rest so I can't just slap paint up there, I have to be careful. Do I tape it? How can I go about doing this?

For Christmas I am going to make our spare bedroom in the basement into a den for my husband while he is out of town. He doesn’t want to do it because we are really tight on money. He always puts me and everything before himself.

He is a huge baseball guy. I am making the room baseball theme, his favorite team is the Cubs. I am looking for some cheap ideas? I don’t really know what is in a den? Guys... what would you really want in your den?

Can you tell me what you think of it and whether it was worth the investment? We love our memory foam pillows but don't want to spend that kind of money on a mattress unless it is truly worth it.

I had a lot of posters up on the wall, I've gotten all of the blue stuff off the wall, but it left what looks like grease spots all over the wall.

I have just bought a house that was built in the 1940's which has all the original fittings including the original bathroom tiles. I am having a shower fitted over the bath and unfortunately this means that some of the tiles will have to be destroyed. Is there any where I can get replacements? They're white and are about half an inch thick with a curbing (quarter circle) that goes along the top edge of the tiled area. I imagine that I'll only need about a dozen of them, but I can't think of where I might find them. Obviously older tiles would be better as they'll match the others around them but I'd be interested in modern alternatives. Thanks.
