My uncle is moving out of my house in about three months, and I get the basement which includes: bathroom, big closet with two shelves and two racks, a storage room, sliding glass door(its to the backyard), and the stairway, of course. The door comes from the kitchen, and I was thinking about decorating the front of it.. with signs that say "Risa's Room" or something like that... I am thirteen, so I want it to be sort of bright colors. And I am going to paint the walls, add curtains, decorate the bathroom, ect. Any ideas on storage or bedding, too? I was thinking about afuton that would fold up and stuff.. so it would be kind of like a mini apartment. And I'm getting a new tv. I need it to be pretty cheap, too.. but good looking. I'm also going to get a phone for it, too. Thanks!!

I'd like to change my existing sliding closet doors to sliding mirrored doors. Will that do anything for my house (added value or just appeal) if and when I decide to sell? I know it'll make the room look bigger, but what else will it do for me besides increase my love life?

Most of my bedroom accessories are bright colors like yellow and orange, and other bright colors like that. And also keep in mind I'm just 14 so I still like all the bright colors!!

I bought this house and the natural woodwork is pine. casing and trim that isnt painted lookks really nice. The previous owner painted all the crown and base and lots of the window casings. Im wondering if its worth the time and effort to try to strip the paint off or resand it. Is there any easy way to do it I dont want to try it unless its gonna look good. I dont think i could remove it either because its an older house and i dont think i could ever get the joints tight again. Any advice or tricks would be helpful. thanks.

And I want to have a Burlesque/Antiqued type theme. I am getting a Chaise Lounge (not sure about spelling), but I already have many asian inspired objects in my home. I have a huge one bedroom apt, about 950 sq ft (huge for me anyways). I really want a cool place for me to come home too. Got any ideas?

Don't you find they love paint and fabrics and it's very tacky? Or would you sign up for the show just to see how creative they would get in your home?

I thought since Christmas ornaments would be considered in the homecatagory. I would ask here. Does anyone know where I can purchase official "cinnamon Bear ornaments? I am talking about ornaments based on the radio show. Years ago my local station WBBM advertised a local shop, however the station no longer has an old time radio show and I can't remember rthe name of the shop. The show and commercial ran in the late 1980's and I am not sure if the shop is even still in business . Any help would be appreciated
