i have a rented flat and i have lived here for 3 years...because we couldn't afford carpet or laminate flooring we decided to paint it, using a floor paint normally used in garages! silly i know, now...!
it is a brand new building and we are the original tenants...

i would like to strip it off and put something else down but my partner wants to paint over it....
it is a big job - i understand this..but i want to exchange and i really think that by doing this will give us a better chance of swapping
i don't intend to ask the housing association as it is my problem not theirs...
has anybody got any good advice for me, please?

I have a regular cork board above my desk which is packed with photos. I would like something else that I could move things onto but would prefer it to be homemade. Any ideas?

We've recently purchased a home built in the 70s and the kitchen cupboards are original. They are a dark laminate kind of material. They are in very good condition considering thier age. We'd like to sell the house in a couple of years and are considering what to do with them. They will need to be updated.

Would you say sand and paint, resurface, replace? Any thoughts on the best resale value? Does painting cupboards look cheesy?

I'm thinking maybe start with paint, if it looks bad go from there.

Any advise would be greatly appriciated. Thanks.

I have just moved, and I sold all my old stuff ... Besides a matress, a computer table, and some kitchen nicities, I have nothing else.

So I'm looking for ideas, or pointers to places that can help me design my home, before I start buying a dinning table, sofa, tv?(not sure if I'm buying one actually), shelves, etc.

I'm middle-class, I suppose, so i can't spend huges amounts of money, but I'm not also 100% "on budget".

thanks in advance for any help.
