I assume that LED lights would be the best, but what kind? We have a wall (dry-wall) with a large section of it being translucent glass. We would like to make the wall light up from the bottom. How?

What things can I mix/dissolve in jars of water (for decorative purposes) to produce different colours. i.e. How do I produce a jar of red water, blue water, etc. The exact colour doesn't matter but I want the jars to be a uniform colour and, if possible, I want them to stay the same colour.

Help! Every other house in my neighborhood is decorated and I look like a scrooge!

I need a quick and easy project that will look good.

I don't have any bushes or shrubs but I do have two oak trees in my yard. I've wrapped the lights around the base of the tree but need a little more zing.

've tried staking the lights to the ground on the perimeter of the yard, but I can't find any of the proper stakes and some of the lights are going in the wrong direction.

I am doing a contest at work where we have to make a wreath with a team. Since we are near the ocean I though a wreath covered in sea shells would be nice. Since the surface of the shells is smooth because they came from a craft store I don't think hot glue will make them stick. Is there any kind of craft glue I can get from a local craft store that will be strong enought to make the shells stick to the plastic wreath? Thanks!

I had painted the bathroom, but the only thing is the paint from the walls dripped onto the floor. On the floor I have self stick adhesive tiles. How do you remove the dripped paint?

I am putting in new cherry wood laminate flooring in my condo. Not sure what color base molding I should put. My coworkers suggested a wood color that matches the floor but I have looked in magazine and most of the time they are just plain white? I like things to look very modern what do you suggest?

I am moving in to a flat but don't intend to stay permanently,perhaps 1 year.The landlord is replacing the avocado bathroom suite with a new white one.The problem is the sandy coloured tiles are horrible and will look even worse against the white bath.
Does painting the tiles work effectively,and if so what is the best way to do it?

I only use an oil fired furnace. So I figure if I do this I would run the cord down to a cut in area 10' above the furnace outlet?
