I'm going to be moving into my first apartment on New Year's Day, but I don't have ANY furniture for it. I'm very limited on what I can spend due to bills and the holiday season but I still want my home to look nice. I guess you could say my style is modern/contemporary - I like to decorate with black and white, then add in some colors that pop. I like straight fine edges, accented with wild decorations...

Where can I find these types of items for a low cost???

We have just bought a new house and before we move in, are going to completely remodel it. My husband is in construction and can check progress every night. We need someone to coordinate subcontractors and supervise...I work from home and know a little about construction....is it overly complicated to organize, make phone calls and do it myself?

My local fireplace dealer stated that I had to replace my fireplace because I had a 3 ft flood in my home. That it would rust from the inside out. It's a basic prefab fireplace and I can't find any information on the internet regarding rusting of the unit, not even at the manufacturers website.

I had a small d/s loo put into my house. The pedestal sink is small and I want to BUY a tiled splashback that can just be stuck onto the wall - is this possible.. or do I need to get hold of a dozen tiles and get it done properly? I'm sure I remember these from years ago!

Bought 3 tins of Glidden Seed Pearl 3 months ago, and used a tin last night and realized it's a SLIGHTLY lighter color as a year ago. Got an old tin out , and number formulas are different. Took them back to homedepot, where I was told the numbers are different cos Glidden change their formulas every 10 yrs or so...even though they call it the same name...huh..sound right to you?

Hi,
I am thinking about putting up a tile backsplash. I was told by the company that sells the tin backsplash tiles that I should probably remove the ceramic tiles first. I have never removed a ceramic tile backsplash before. How hard is this to do? About how long will it take? Do you think I will damage the wallboard below. Just don't want to get in over my head. Any advice at all would be so appreciated!!!

I'm selling my futon. The mattress is an ugly, faded green color, but the frame is good and painted black. Also, I'm selling it with a body pillow and two smaller pillows. How much would you pay for it?

Should I screw an eyebolt through a ceiling joist or should I go into the attic and put a 2x4 across 2 joist and run the bolt through the 2x4? Or is there another way. It needs to hold about 300 lbs.

Specifically, does the linoleum have to be removed? If it doesn't, how do you prepare it to accept thin set and then tile?
