The door has little glass insets - 9 of them, approximately 6 by 6 inches or so. I think I saw this technique on Debbie Travis's Painted House show once.

I am redecorating a room in my church that was an office but will now be a nursery. I have tried hot water & Zif and also a wallpaper steamer. The paper comes off eventually but in tiny strips and pieces and I am afraid of damaging the drywall with the steamer. I've taken off wallpaper before in my home and it was not this bad. I have managed to remove paper from one small wall and am considering painting over the wall paper on the remaining walls because it is so hard to remove. Any suggestions?

We are in the process of purchasing a new home. It is a brick home, but with that 90's kind of style. It is all one color and a dark red which neither my husband or I really care for. What can we do to change the look? I've seen some of the newer brick homes that look like the mortar is spread all over the brick as if it is being used as a texture right over the brick. It breaks up the color a bit and looks a little more modern. We don't want to paint, because we think we might have the wrong style of home for this. Any good ideas? We live in the DFW area of Texas where brick homes are very common.

Thanks in advance.

We are replacing our windows with retrofit vinyl windows and are finding it very difficult to navigate between all the different models, manufacturers and efficiency numbers. Problem is that not as many people replace thier windows so not as much information on the longevity of the windows, except for from the salesman. Does anyone happen to know an address of a discussion board or forum regarding replacement windows? thanks in advance.

I'm trying to convince them otherwise. They are now afraid of color and no matter what I do, they keep going for neutrals. The place will have no intimacy or warmth and the palette of colors is now drab and tired looking. What would you do to convince the owners otherwise?

I've brought them to other places with color and they liked them but they are reluctant with their own place insisting that they'll put color on the walls later. I know it's just that they fear color. They have 15 foot high ceilings in their place and it's going to be a sea of white. Help.

And any ideas on sealing them for future dirt!?

We are moving and don't want to repaint. The bedroom that my three year old will be taking is chocolate brown, a little on the dark side...amazingly she likes it! :) The other room, that my 18 mo. old will be taking, has two pink walls and two green walls, a little on the bright side. Obviously, the pink and green seems much easier to work with, but ideas are still welcome as I want both of their rooms to be nice for them.
Oh, and both kids are girls.

I am thinking of painting my bed frame, my bookcases, and most importantly, my desk. I want them all to become white for my room; however, I do not know how to approach the process of painting those pieces of furniture. I would like a smooth and glossy finish on each piece, especially for the desk in order to write and draw smoothly. Can someone please outline the procedure for accomplishing this?

I am remodeling my kitchen and can't decide on weather or not to stay with traditional white appliances or go for the more trendy black or silver look. I just don't want to buy the stuff and have them be out dated in a year. What do you think?

Please don't give me a spill about trailors or about pulling this mess off. I have already sheetrocked most of this five bedroom house and I dont intend to sheetrock another room unless I have to. This is an old house and all the walls are solid plank and old wallpaper. I hate wallpaper!!! I only had two rooms with paneling that I intend to paint so please help me figure this out. I don't won't to have a big mess. A friend told me a needed a product he thought was called "dull and bond" to dull the shine so the paint will stick to the paneling. I can't find it in the harware store. Has any body here ever painted paneling? Cant I just use Semi-Glos. Any help would be appreciated! Thank you.
