The place is always cluttered and we have two small children with clothes and toys on the floor. What can I do to make more livable space? Shelving, storage boxes, anything? My wife is the type that NEVER wants to get rid of anything.

We're about to add a second story on our house. Now, the master bedroom is on the main level and has no master bathroom--the bathroom is shared with the whole main level. Which option do you think is better?

1. In the upstairs addition, make a master bedroom with master bathroom (plus a small bonus room), and use the two bedrooms on the main level for kids' rooms.

2. Put two kids' rooms and a shared bathroom upstairs, and continue to use the master bedroom on the main level with no exclusive master bathroom.

i"m 18 and I just got permission from my parents to redo an old unused closet into an office for me. It's a very small closet, just big enough for me to put a tiny table and chair in with a little bit of extra room. I'm very creative. I like to sew, draw, paint, and other stuf like that. But most of all I really like photography. I would really like to frame a lot of my black and white pictures on the wall. So I want a color pallette that is very inspiring, that would bring out the creative side of me, but it also has to go well with the black and white photos I'm going to put up. So if you have any color ideas, I would appreciate the input. I'm opewn to anything from calming and relaxing to funky and crazy. If you know of any good websites that would show some pictures of different color palleattes for something like this I would really like to see pictures, but ideas are still great too! it's a small space, so anything that will make it seem more spacious is great!

We are installing a laminate floor and are having problems getting the 2 pieces to fit together. It is a glueless tongue and grove. On the long side of 2 boards, they do not come down without forcing it. We angle it up to fit it together and the two pieces do not lay flat unless we use some force. The just remain in a V. The short end fits together fine. Has anyone had this happen? Do you need to use force? Is it possible all the boxes are defective? Thanks!!

I bought this set from Ikea in the medium brown finish..
http://www.ikea.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/ProductDisplay?topcategoryId=15558&catalogId=10103&storeId=12&productId=60994&langId=-1&categoryId=16173&chosenPartNumber=S39839352
--After I bought the set I painted my room hot pink and now the furniture is completeley lost and doesn't stand out at all. So I'm thinking that I should either paint the furniture white so that it will definteley pop or I should just repaint my room to more of a airy brezzy spa blue. Your answers are very serious to me so please help it you can. Thanks in advance.

The guy who lived in my condo before me gutted and remodeled the entire kitchen and did a beautiful job, EXCEPT for the soffets (correct spelling?) above the cabinets. The plastering job is pretty uneven where the soffets meet the ceiling. I was thinking that instead of going through the expense and the hassle of sanding and/or replastering, I could put a narrow strip of corner molding where the soffet meets the ceiling. My cabinets are light natural wood so it wouldn't be hard to match up. Could this work?

My husband and I found a cute house that had been rehabbed and we really wanted to buy it. But our real estate agent pointed out a horizontal crack in the basement wall. About 3 - 4 feet of the crack was visible and it disappeared behind an adjacent wall, so we don't know how long the crack really extends. The adjacent room is a bathroom, so we would have to tear out the shower to see how far the crack extends.

The crack is not wide, (only 5-10 millimeters) and it is not uneven, (one side of the crack does not stick out farther than the other side) - it is flush.

Would you worry about this? Any advice?

How do I tone down a yellow to give it more of a coffee-tea stained look. If you have been in an Olive Garden that is the color I want.
