I have wood lattice that my hubby purchased. I is unfinished wood. I want to paint it white. Can it be spray painted or is it better to use a brush?

does it look weird to have the trim painted a darker color than the walls? I wanted to do the walls a real light off-white/cream color and the trim a rich brown. (the carpeting is a medium blue and my furniture is brown)

When I got them home, I realized that they look Thanksgiving-y. Essentially, it's just the colorful leaves, candles, and fall plants (fake, but nice), and a couple of wreaths (one with fall leaves, the other with berries, etc). My question, is it too early to set these out now or should I wait until after Halloween?

I'm getting ready to sell a house I've just remodeled and I'd like to get one of those *display* cardboard dishwashers like they have in model homes, so that there's no big empty spot in the cabinets... Any ideas?

It just seems too "pastel" for my taste. How can I update my front porch and flowerbeds to make it look less 80's. What colors would you use for porch furnishings, light sconce, planters, number plates, etc.?





Please help! I'm clueless about this. I'm originally a city girl w/ no prior experience in decorating a porches!

Im interested in tiling part of my kitchen in some kind of Inca or Aztec pattern. Later I will paint all the walls in a tope colours that matches, with possibly some large patterns. So I have two challenges: tiling, and paint matching.

This is very important to me to get it right.

Can anyone suggest some websites with pictures of such tiling patterns?

Im very patient and willing to do this by hand.

We have just painted our masterbedroom and from the ceiling I have rattan type hanging lamp from Ikea. The cord is a horrible black and looks terrible againt the bamboo coloured wall. Can I paint the cord the same colour as the wall with leftover paint? Should I attatch the cord down the seam of the wall(s)?? Help.

I love the green- it is sage but dark. But it is a recent consideration. I love browns, they make me feel calm and earthy. What do you think?

I have a double person room all to myslef, but there are two beds beside each other "I Love Lucy" style. They don't move because they are built into the floor. The matresses move, but the bed frame has to stay put. I want to find something creative to do with it. Any ideas?

I am removing a small room divider to unite two rooms. The house was built in 62. There is only an empty attic above and it is a one floor house. I can modify the partition to reinforce it on top but dont know how. This way I could cut away the studs and have the expanded room. Any expertise would be appreciated.

norman7774, I'm sorry you feel that way. I'm not from N.O. I'm from St. Bernard LA. I know the people running the whole dam thing, are not living in FEMA Trailer with their families. But I am. and I don't support Nagin either. I owned my home and it was paid for. I was told we didn't need flood insurance. You see I never asked for anything in my life. We lost everything we work hard for the last 15 years and I am unable to replace what We once had.
