I'm renting a small house from my parents and the white walls are driving me nuts. I've offered a deposit to paint things back after I leave but they are stubborn. Any ideas?

I've never purchased a leather sofa before, but due to recently diagnosed allergies this has been recommended to me. I'm pretty confident that I can choose one that looks good to me. What I'm wondering is if there are other things I should be looking for when I am shopping around...? There seems to be a wide range of prices on leather sofas out there. It's a bit overwhelming.

My home is on a concrete slab and is very cold in the winter. I am planning on recarpeting and/or using hardwood (laminate). Is there something I can put down prior to carpeting to keep the coolness or moisture out?

I thought I was painting unstained wood, but after I painted several cupboards, they soon started peeling. What should I do? My cupboards are in an unfinished state.

Is it safe to burn a candle inside a ceramic jar? I was hot glueing stuff to the outside of it, and it was getting pretty warm inside.

I'm new to Canada and the various paints etc....there are more finishes here than in UK; I don't want the mess or smell of oil-based paint, as these are interior doors. Where do I start - what sort of primer, then top coat? I don't want a shiny, glossy finish.

I got an old mahogany table with the top in light/golden colours with a stunning pattern on it, it almost looks like flames. However there are some scratches on it and I was thinking of using sandpaper to remove these and then re-paint it. But I'm uncertain how the flame effect was made and can I get the same effect and how?

I painted my walls pink (cherry soda to be exact :-)). I really wanted to put up black picture frames because it looks good against the pink wall but would that clash with the brown furniture?
