My spare bedroom needs to be painted. Im not sure what colour to go with. It is a very bright room and very warm as it gets the sun all day. The furniture is pine and wooden floors so its a blank canvas at the moment. I was thinking of maybe a pale purple or lilac as a feature wall. Because its such a warm and bright room I don't mind choosing a cool colour scheme. Don't want to do red, green or neutral colours such as browns and creams. Have these colours already around the house.

Any suggestions would be great.

Thanks.

We have a beautiful apartment, except for the kitchen. The cabinets are a light oak color, and the doors (on the cabinets) are like a white fermicca (sp?). Any ideas to liven it up a bit? We can't paint and I don't want to glue anything to them.

I have a living area that has never been used except for looks, and I would like to use it as the main living room. It is called a den, it's approx. 32ft x 16ft. I only have one old chandelier hanging in the center. It uses 7 light bulbs but doesn't put off enough light for the whole room. I was wondering what kind of light fixture I could use to make the room brighter.

Hello all,

Trying to get an idea how much a new carpet will cost... including fitting. I have no idea about carpet, but would probably choose midpriced stuff (not cheap/not high end).

The amount of carpet I need is... enough to cover a normal staircase and 3 square metres in the hall (that's 2mx1m + 1mx1m, not 3x3).

Does anyone have any idea?
Thanks

A bottle of Windex got spilled on our laminate wood floor. Now the ends of three pieces are swelling and rising. This stuff was a real pain to install.... PLEASE tell me there is a way to fix the three slices that are damaged!!! Hair dryer? Iron? My husband gets home in 8 days and I would like to fix it before then. And no, you can't just replace the damaged slices - you would have to redo the whole living room. Thanks people

My husband and I removed our carpet from our new home and replaced it with a different color instead. It's sitting in the garage and I'm concerned it will get dirty. We removed the carpet a week after we moved in, It is about 7 rooms worth of carpet with the padding. We want to sell it for a reasonable price, but don't know of anyone who needs carpet or a business who buys.

I would say the previous owners smoked; the plastic louvers and casing for the whole house fan are very yellowed, very ugly. As the ceiling is repainted and pretty light fixtures are installed, this whole house fan casing is standing out uglier and uglier. It sits right above the staircase, so reaching it is problematic.

Can this plastic be painted, covered, treated, replaced?
