We have no space. No wall space. No storage space. No office space. Just clutter and loud tv noise. I want to set up a tiny sacred space for myself to give me some solitude and tranquility. My very own retreat at home. Other than hiding in the tiny postage-stamp-sized bathroom or putting the blankets over my head, I have no space. Any ideas? Illusions of space? Secret to making space in a jiffy? Any response is appreciated!

My mother just had new cherry cabinets put in her kitchen. The painter says it's best to polyeuthane the oak panelling that surrounds the kitchen table. Can you stain to polyeuthane to match the cherry cabinets or can you paint over the oak panelling?

I recently opened up a doorway into a bigger opening for no door, just a walkthrough. I will have trim around this opening, however, I need to first form the plaster back to the edge. How would I go about this and if anyone finds good resources, please post. I don't know if I should form with compound because of such a large fill, but any ideas would be great. Thanks!

Just wondering if anyone knows, when should you carve your pumpkin? How soon before Halloween? I was born in NY where you can carve up to a month in advance and the pumpkin is fine, but now i'm in Florida and the last few years, I carved a week before and put it outside.Within days it was mush!!! Will the pumpkin last if I keep it indoors carved? Thanx

When buying a house? A bigger kitchen or more bedrooms. The reason I ask is this, We have four bedrooms, 2 on the main floor, 1 upstairs (its the whole upstairs) and 1 in the newly remodeled basement, but our kitchen is so tiny, we can only have a tiny little table with two chairs. The kitchen backs one of the bedrooms and I was thinking about knocking out a wall to make a bigger room for the kitchen. So what do you think would be better? Keep the tiny kitchen and 4 bedrooms, or knock down a wall to make the kitchen larger? Thanks for your input

I have a bath that I'd like to tile and don't know which home improvement chain carries them. I've looked on the Internet and can't seem to locate a store locally. I live in the midwest if that helps.
