Decorating & Remodeling - August 2006

My cat jumps up on mr dresser and bed and my other dresser and scratches it all up. I have like wood furniture not metal! it's dark and where she scratches it, it goes through the paint and u can see the regular colored wood under it. Can it be refinished, repainted? If it can how much will it cost me?

I want to prime it instead of paint it. The owner then only has a year of use noticed on the walls AND the walls are already primed. I also want a clean fresher feeling throughout a house that has been our home for one last year. Any recommendations?

I have a white ceiling and white trim. The carpeting is TAUPE. The only color I can think of right now is a sage green.
Has anyone else went with this color combo?
Any suggestions?
Can you tell me the exact name of your paint color and brand of paint that you had good luck with? I have not found a paint chip that says "sage green". If I did, I would buy it!!!!!

I live in Oklahoma City. We have gotten a couple labor only bids in the $1500-$2000 range. We got a quote from a guy today that will do it, labor and materials, for $3500. The space is about 8 X 20. For that, he will insulate and sheet rock the three sides that are not next to the house and the ceiling. He will also install a sliding door, a single glass door and a window. Basically, he will finish it to the point where we can just paint and put in flooring. Does this sound like a fair price? Thanks!!!

I was going to paint my room pink so i have a pink sheet and a few pink pillows. Things in my room such as my futon bed and my vanity are black so i was wondering what color to paint my walls. I was thinking pink at first but now my parents are trying to tell me to go with an "accent" color that i can just put the pink with but im not sure. Any ideas?

I am considering getting a heat pump with several indoor units. The indoor units note their Kw capacity as well as BTU capacity and the outdoor unit notes its total capacity in kW and BTUs. I don't know how the kW capacity is related to BTUs nor how to figure how many BTUs I need for each room/ indoor unit. Knowing how many BTUs I need for each room would be a start (I think!)

Thanks for your help.

Does anybody know a good tip for paint not to creep under the masking tape? I'm painting but when I pull the tape off, some spots on the baseboards and walls have paint. I want a clean line without having to do touch ups.

I want to redecorate my room, but I'm not sure how to start. First of all, I have two really ugly, old, worn out tables (a larger one for my TV and other things and a nightstand beside my bed). How can I make them look better without replacing them? I was thinking about buying some fabric to drape over them, a tablecloth of sorts. I would just like to know how I can pull this off without looking like I'm trying to hide something, or my room looking really tacky.

Also, I want an old-Hollywood theme, but need some ideas. For the color scheme, I was thinking black, pink, and white, with some polka dots. Can someone give me ideas for bedding?

Finally.. accessories! I plan on doing some art myself; I think charcoal sketches would look cool, but what should I draw, and how should I frame my art? Just give me any suggestions on decorations that would work with the old-hollywood theme, look really young, glamorous, and creative, and not cost a fortune!
