We are finishing our basement and wondering if there is a certain kind of insulation that we should use to help prevent mildew.

I have spray painted the base of a bathroom vanity light fixture. I called the information number on the can of spray paint to ask if this was a wise idea before I did so and was told that the rule of thumb is that if something gets so hot that you can't put your finger on it without pulling it away quickly, it was too hot to paint. I left my current light in the bathroom on for several hours and placed my finger on it directly behind the bulb and was able to leave it there indeffinately with no problems, so I went ahead and painted the new fixture. After doing so, I noticed that a small amount of the spray paint got on the wires. It is only on the insulation of the wire and not the actual metal part. So I am left with the question, is that small amount of paint on the wire insulation going to cause problems?

in doing research I have found that there are 2 primary methods ie: engineered and solid and have also read some about 'starnded' bamboo. I am hoping someone can provide some first hand insight into bamboo and its durability for an active family.

Do you like it? Was it worth the money? Or do you wish you went with wood?

If you had to choose between a formal dining room and your washer and dryer in the garage or a nice laundry room and no dining room which would it be???? both floorplans have an eat-in kitchen.

I am stumped with what is a DO or DON'T when it comes to hanging picture frames on the walls in my home. Question part 1. I don't know if I should choose the color of the frame based on it enhancing the picture or should I choose a frame color based on how it will match the things in my rooms. For example I have light colored wood tables in my family room but the pictures I want to hang would look gorgeous in something dark like a cherrywood frame. Should I follow throughout with matching colors to the other wood furniture in the room or go with what makes the pictures pop? Part 2. When you come in my front door there is a long hallway in which I want to hang pictures all the way across. Do I match all the frames on the wall for one uniform look or can I use clusters of same color but broken up in to sections along the wall like with a few feet in-between? Same question for my staircase walls! I thank you in advance for you advice!! :)

if i were to rent a sprayer and attempt doing this for the first time will it stilll look ok. I realize you would have to spread it evenly and everything is it worth attempting to do myself or will it just look really bad without a proffesional to do it.

on a few pieces that came off, I got down to a part of the wall that feels like soft felt. I am afraid that I have messed things up. What do I do?

I need someone who actually saw the linen in pink & orange. I browsed tons of websites, and only found some at Williams-Sonoma, but they were out of stock completly.

Help would be highly appreciated, as I just finished redecorating the house, and this little detail really nags at me.

Thank you,

Mouchie
