I have a shelf above the kitchen countertop and it got wet because it's near the sink. the Poly has worn off after 7 years. What are the correct steps in order to sand it, to finishing it properly. I sanded it down with an orbital sander and restained it and it looks like crap, it's tacky and spotty. Please give me the correct steps from A to Z on how to properly do this right. Please be specific on when I sand,etc.. I want it to be Classic Oak Finish with some kind of poly on it to make it smooth. Thanks

Has anyone made some kind of bracket to mount a waterbed headboard to a regular bed frame? We are getting rid of the waterbed to go to a regular mattress, but like the headboard and would like to keep using it. But I need to find or make a bracket to mount the headboard to the standard frame. Any ideas or suggestions would be great.

Not too expensive, loft is just an empty storage area.
Will a strip light with a pull cord do?

I have a squeaky floorboard right in the middle of my bathroom floor.
My bathroom has a fitted carpet + underlay.
Is there a way to stop it squeaking with or without lifting the carpet.

My bedroom is horrible. I have dusty dark blue carpet, white walls (except for one grey/white wood grain paneling wall) and this horrible air condintioner box that sticks out about a foot and is about a foot and a half wide. It's brown and has this gaudy cord that hangs down and plugs into the wall. Someone suggested a beach theme given the colors that I already have. It's an apartment so I can't paint. Does anyone have any good beach theme ideas that are inexpensive? I don't want it to be too tacky...i'm going for more of a relaxing getaway type thing.

I just don't have time to be creative anymore. I want to decorate my bedroom, so that it actually feels like a bedroom and not just a room where I sleep. I have a very stressfull job, so I would like for it to be a nice relaxing room to get away in. It's a pretty blank slate so far. My carpet is a dusty dark blue, my walls are mostly white, one horrible side is grey and white wood grain paneling, though:) oh yeah. So, any ideas would be great....and details, color schemes, storage, organization ideas, etc....pictures/links would be very helpful. Oh, two other things. There is only one window, it's pretty tall...floor to ceiling, normal height ceilngs though. And here's the best part-I have an airconditioner, that's like...a window one..but it's jsut sticking out of my wall. it's lovely. I would love to safely cover this up somehow. Has anyone else ever dealt with one of these before? It's brown and about the size of a normal window air conditioner.
