Decorating & Remodeling - January 2007

We are fixing the house up but we don't want to fix up the whole house because we are just starting out and can't afford it. But we are going to fix up the areas that will be the strongest selling points in the house. So we are wondering what they are? We are working on the kitchen right now, because to me that is an area that should be nice.

I am finishing our basement and am undecided how to cover up the electrical junction box. We have thought about bi-fold doors or a painting. I am wondering if anyone has run into this and how they took care of it.

I just went to a class talking about houses having lead paint (prior to 1978) I am thinking my apt building was built before that time. Do apartment owners have to check for lead levels?

I have a squarish room. One of my walls has a large window, another has a very small window, the third is bare and the last has three doors. What should I do? I want something different and fun with bold colors, as I am a teen. I wanted to paint my room black, but this is not okay with my parents unless I find some way to lighten it up. I am okay with crazy colors as well as elegant designs. I love elephants, chocolate, reading, and music. PLEASE HELP ME!!!!

She has black carpet and wants to paint the walls and ceiling black (I said no to the ceiling.it stays white). She also wants to put green, yellow and orange handprints all over it. I don't know if they would show up good over the black though.

I recently acquired a plain yellow bedspread, but as a big fan of blues, I don't have many pillows that seem to match well with my new comforter. Any suggestions as to which colors I should keep my eye out for when shopping?

I hope to replace my floors soon. Which is easier to maintain and keep clean - ceramic tile or hardwood (or laminate wood)? A follow up to this question is which would you put in the foyer vs/kitchen and casual dining areas?

I remember seeing a TV show about using hay and insulation covered with stucco to build a school house. I haven't heard of it since and wondered why if it was a inexpensive building material and helped insulated against both heat and cold. Where can I find out about this method?

We are painting our living room (12'x15') a light tan colour and a friend has said the ceiling could be the same or just a bit lighter. If this is the case, how much tint would be added? and we have a lovely border around the ceiling, how do we treat it? My husband isn't very daring and says that ceilings are WHITE - just as the ceiling paint is WHITE!! Would we just do the trim and border a plain cream or bone colour?
