Decorating & Remodeling - October 2006

hey ... i am repainting my bedroom and the problem is ...... i am choosing a shade of creamish white for the ceiling .... and on the walls i want to use Orange color and along with that another color in combination. but i am not sure how to go about it. there are 4 walls which need to be painted. should i use same color of orange on all walls. or should i use two shades of orange ... so i can use different shades on consecutive walls i.e. walls facing each other would have same shade of orange. or should it be like having 3 walls painted orange and the fourth one painted with the same color as color of the ceiling. or would any other lighter shades go with the dark orange color ... please help and tell me the colors of all four walls ... not just 2 walls bcos every site shows 2 walls ... thanx in advance

I purchased 21 double hung windows for my house and combination storm windows, all Andersen. When I open the storm window on the combination, and open the upper sash on the window, the window howls like blowing over a beer bottle. It does not take much air flow to cause this. It scares my kids and keeps me awake at night. It sounds like a giant pipe organ or house of horrors. We puchased double hung windows with combination screen units to allow ventilation using the upper sash when it rains.
Andersen is one of two companies that offer combination screens with vinyl windows (and the most expensive).
The Andersen folks say they have never heard of this and it must be my house. They also say that it is not a design flaw, and I should just go away.
Has anyone else installed these windows and combination screens had the howling issue ?
Does anyone know how to contact the CEO of Andersen ?

My bedroom dormer is long and narrow (23 inches wide by 5 feet long). I have no ideas on how to decorate it so it is an accent rather than the hideous outcast it is. Please help!

my kitchen has med. oak trim, cabinets and floor. counter tops are light tan. stripped off old pink wallpaper and was thinking of painting it green, maybe village green by laura ashley but am not sure if this is too dark. am looking for a vintage look that makes the kitchen a warm and inviting place. maybe another color? adjoining rooms: LR: off white (beige) and DR" chair rail (med oak) with paper flowered on top with mauve flowers, green and teal leaves and bottom teal stripes.

silk paint was already on when we moved in recently and i have been told that if you paint your walls with silk paint (although it is lovely and shiny and very easy to wipe clean) it makes tiny dints/holes in the wall look like really noticable dirty marks...is this true?

We finally decided to replace our old sofa/love seat--ours is at least 10 years old and has seen us through the birth of grandchildren and served us well. In searching for a new set, we were surprised at what was available (as well as the cost) and decided we would reupholster what we have. We ran across some fabric at LaZ-Boy that we really liked but to purchase it would cost $50 a yard--a hefty price considering we need 40 yards. Does anyone know where we could purchase LaZ-Boy fabric directly from the mill? We know the name of the fabric and have the number that we got when we were at LaZ-Boy but don't know how to find out which company makes it. Any ideas on how to begin a search such as this will be greatly appreciated.

Thanks.
