Decorating & Remodeling - November 2006

I have a wallpaper that when painted, it looks almost exactly like stucco. I am painting it using a colorwashing technique. Since it looks like stucco, would it be cosmetically appealing if I used wayne's coating with it also?
The waynes coating is dark wood, trimming around doors, etc., is dark wood, and stucco-looking-wallpaper is a light tan on off white (very pretty by the way...). Would this be okay to put into a living room with pink carpet? Any thoughts?

We are decorating our sons (ages 8 and 20 months) with a medieval knights theme. We have 2 large MegaBlok castles that will be set up in the room (well continuously set up and torn back down again) as well as a castle bouncer ball pit that my 20 month old will be getting for Christmas so we thought we would take those large toys and base our them on that since they will be such a large part of the room. I want to limit the expense as much as possible so I'm looking for inexpensive, creative ideas to make this a really fun room the kids will love to be in. I've seen lots of beautiful murals for ideas but they are really expensive and I am not a painter by any means so I need ideas for painting or decorating the wall, what to make to fit the theme to store toys in or place books or games on, etc. Thanks!!!

I just signed the lease forms for a walkup rental apartment in NYC on the UES. I have lived in NYC for 5 years but with my parents so I wondered-- can you paint the walls of a rental studio? I love my new apartment but I HATE the color of the cream on the walls. its too yellow. uck. Could I just go ahead and paint them if I paint them back at the end?

This pipe isn't hard but it doesn't seem to be plastic. There is an iron 45 degree elbow between 2 of these same styles of pipe, inserted in each end of the pipe.

My fiance and I are looking at house plans and I found one I like. However, there is a section of the house that is called "Parlour" and I have no idea what it's for. It just looks like a waste of space. Could someone tell me what this is? Thanks!

The wall is thin mortar over cinder blocks. I worry that it will split if I use mortar nails. But tape is so ugly and doesn't always hold.
