I've been trying to watch tv to see if I like anything and really can't find what I want. I bought O at Home and another decorating magazine but didn't like anything. It's my 1st place and i'm completely clueless and what to do with it.

I bought a rather-expensive wallpaper medallion (made by York) to put up on the ceiling of my daughter's room. The idea was to cover over a dull area where the ceiling had to be retouched after a smaller-base-diameter fan was installed. The mediallion is 36" in diameter and the ceiling fan (including the blades) is 52". I can cut the ornate wallpaper smaller if that would actually look better. It would be time-consuming but still look good, I think. Is there a rule of thumb for the diameter of the medallion to the width of a ceiling fan?

I have purchased some ballon shades and I did not received any instructions so your help is very important to me. On one of the shades there are strings attached with rings inside and on the other shade there is no string at all on them at all. Am I supposed to connect the two in some way, and if this is correct let me know how. I actually have three that I would like to go on to one window and any assistance you can give me would greatly be appreciated. I thank you so much in advance.

I am considering knocking a wall down between the kitchen and living area of my house. I have an older style house built in the 60's. How to I tell whether or not that it s a load bearing wall that would require more work to shore up? I have a tri-level house, but above the wall in question is only the roof.

You should know I am a single mom with no carpentry experience. I just pulled out the carpet in my living and dining rooms and laid 3/4" oak wood on top of the red paper. I have so much left over and would love to attack my stairs that are now carpeted. The floors were my first project and I am so pleased with them. Am I being overly ambitious to take this project on - or can you provide me with some helpful tips?

Thank you ever so much!

I am about to buy a condo, but don't want to display my clothes and other items that usually hide behind closed doors. Does anybody have a good suggestion for fixing this, besides the curtain with the rod trick? Thanks!

I have a very tiny apartment. My livingroom and kitchen are only separated by a short kitchen counter. Here are the problems:

1) the carpet is dark blue. the biggest length of wall in the livingroom is this horrid grey panneling. The other side is white. I can't paint or put anything too permanent on the walls.

2) The door is grey and solid on the inside. It looks more like a gas station bathroom door than the inside of a home.

3) I only have on window in my livingroom and one window in my bedroom on the opposite end of the apartment.

4) my kitchen and livingroom are basically one big room, with just a counter to separate them.

5) my kitchen is "U" shaped and barely big enough for one person to stand in and cook. My stove is even half the size of a normal stove.

6) my bathroom is very small and has white/gry linolium flooring. The walls are white. There is a tub/shower, a toilet and a sink. No cabinets or anything other than a small medicine cabinet.

My carpets are dark blue...i have gry paneling on one walls and the other walls are bright white. I can't paint or put anything perm. on the walls. it's very, very small. I need some ideas to make it look more like home. Also, I have a tiny kitchen that is pretty much attached to the living room with only a low counter to separate the two rooms. Is there something I can do to separate them without it looking tacky? I also have an even smaller bathroom, with gry/wht flooring and only a medicine cabinet for storage. I'm desperate and poor! help!

Should I call Home Depot or a paint store? Do they have people that come out and do the painting for you?

it's 950 sq feet. 2 bedrooms, one bathroom.
I don't want to have to lift anything. I want to the carpet guys to just come, move my furniture, take out old carpet, and put new ones in. Pretty decent quality carpet. Oh and I live outside of philly. Any suggestions where to go and how much?

I do not have floor boards but concrete. The slimline radiators can be hung on the wall but near the ceiling. The radiator will be out of the way and I can use the blank wall at floor level and the pipes can go round from room to room at ceiling height.
