I painted the mantel, doors and windows in my living room, first with Kilz, then with a latex, high gloss paint. The paint looked terrible, very streaky. I let it dry overnight thinking that it may look better this morning. It didn't ! While looking at the mantel I noticed a nail that I missed in my prep work when I pulled out the nail off came the paint. In large sheets back down to the original white paint even the Kilz is peeling off. What did I do wrong, and how do I fix the mess I've made?

Why are television set surrounds, i.e. the case that they are in, always black and grey? They always look so heavy and ugly,and overpower a room, especially if you want a small screen in the bedroom?

I'm a bit confused as some yacht varnish products say they are suitable for floors, and some say not... and some even say not suitable for marine use which goes overmy head!!!

this product link below for example sounds suitable and the price is worth looking at in comparison to some of the others ive seen online.

its a toolstation product... basically im looking for a very tough long lasting coating and yacht varnish was suggested by a floor guy who said "to be honest its they best type of varnish if you weant a gloss,, long llasting, non yellowing finnish, many would say its a no no but thats just floor specialist snobery" that was his words... what do ya think...any comments welcome

This is the first Christmas my husband and I are having together and I haven't decorated for Christmas for as long as I can remember. My family never really decorated after my parents got divorced and I never helped before then because I was too young.

My husband and I are decorating this year though, and other than the tree and lights, I really can't think of any other good ideas. I know he will have a few, but I want as many ideas as I can get.

Also what are some good ideas for things to put in stockings, because I want to do that this year too and I've never had one before. It's just me and my husband and our cat. No children.

Any ideas you have would be helpful. Thanks.

the fabric has a natural wrinkled appearance, an off white background with reddish flowers that have long stems. there are also tans, browns, pale yellow and olive greens making up an assortment of other flowers stems and leafs. The valances are separate triangles with a cream color tassel hanging off of each point. I think I purchased them last year but it could have been the year before. I am moving into a new house where the living room has an extra window. I know I could get new curtains but I just love these and would love to find another pair.

We're replacing baseboards in older home (built 1941) now that the hardwood floors have been refinished (very pretty!). We need the boards to be about an inch thick (to cover the varying lengths in the edges of the floor), taller (5", at least), and in the darker wood tones to match the wood floors. Do baseboards like this exist? Would we be better off buying and staining our own lumber to make sure we got what we needed?

We are looking for an exterior stucco contractor in the GTA area. We have a 1960's bungalow and would like to update the insulation as well as the look, but I don't know much about the way exterior stucco works, what warranties are normal, what should be included and what I can expect to pay separately for, etc. Any suggestions?
