I got a gift with a comforter, a skirty thing, 2 sheets, 2 pillow cases and 2 pillow shams. For the life of me I can not figure out what the pillow shams are for... they open in the middle and are too small for regular pillows so they obviously don't go over the pillow cased pillows.

Do I have to buy a second set of pillows.... I'm OK with more pillows, but they are an odd size, smaller than a regular pillow. Where would I get those and what size or style should I ask for.

3 graduate degrees and I am stumped by bed linens.

I'm putting vinyl stick down tiles in my bathroom. I've pulled out the old tiles (they weren't vinyl and were cracking and coming up), then I scraped all the loose stuff off and prepped the floor so it is very smooth and level again.

We're about to begin laying the tiles... I want to be sure they'll say down though. I've heard heat them before laying them down and some people have said use extra adhesive while others have not.

If you've completed a similar project or have used vinyl self-adhesive tiles any advice would be appreciated. Thanks!

Is yellow a particularly hard color to paint a room with? We did really well with the first section of the wall. It is very obvious where the roller stopped in places and the corners are particularly ugly. Do I need another coat of paint or what?

We are putting laminate in our kitchen. The walls are off white and our appliances are off white as well. In the kitchen we have a oak table and chairs. Not light coloured oak. How do I know what colours to choose for countertops, laminate flooring and we will be painting over our current cupboards to give them an updated look. Ideas please? I have no idea where to begin!

Is there a "design-rule" about painting window frames a different color on the inside vs. on the outside?

I'm just in the process of buying a new flat and it has a kitchen that is 6'4" wide and 7'3" long, not exactly a large space to work with and I'm struggling to come up with good ideas.

I was looking at using IKEA as the supplier, and that rules out the U shape because their corner units are too large to allow me to fit any other appliances in with a sink and fridge etc.

I can go for a gallery style (rows of cabinets on each side) but then the entrance of the kitchen would look through at a blank wall with rows of cabinets on each side.

Has anybody had experiences with small kitchens like this?

Ideal goal is to get a built in oven + electric hob, built in dishwasher and built in washing machine, and free standing fridge.

ok I know this is mostly just a case of opinion, but any ideas would be great!!! my living room in long and sorta narrow sorry I don't have the excact measurements,, right now it's a very boring off white, (military housing if that helps any) my funiture is flora with navy blue base,, the flowers are gold, maroon, and some greens not much. I want to do the walls in a similure gold, but one wall accented with the marron color kinda a plum,, but I am not sure which wall to paint the darker color? we usually have the house set up, so they enterainment center is at the far end on one of the short walls? would that be the best wall for the darker paint?? that's what I am thinking,, also,, should I leave the trim the off while or would that be a good place to put like another accent color like green?
Thanks

I just moved into a new appartment. My room has bright yellow walls and bright orange curtains. I don't want to change either of them. I would just like to know, what color comforter should I buy, so that it matches and won't make my room look too red.

We have a vent where the floor furnace use to be. We are wanting to put tile down in our kitchen instead of the flooring that is there now. I want so way to take the vent off the floor and lay something down to enclose it so that it's safe to walk over and that we can put the tile over so the kitchen floor will look the same all the way around.

I know what I want in my head, but putting it on paper is a different story. The sites I've been to cost $, & I don't want to do that. I've looked in stores, but they're expensive. I want to find a site that I can design the rooms like I want, room by room, then figure out the outside dimensions afterward. Please, let me know of anything you find ASAP! Thanks!
