When I chose the floors I thought they would be a very shiny-finish cherry, however, their finish is very dull and, in my opinion, unattractive. Is there a product that I can apply to them which will make them shiny on a permanent basis? Is this something I could do myself or should I hire a professional to do it? If I use wax how often would I have to reapply it, would it accomplish my purposes and how often would I have to strip it? Thank you in advance for your answers.

1. My son's incredibly messy bedroom and our never-really-organized office inhabit the career centers of our home. Short of cleaning them up (the obvious) what can be done to enhance the career areas of our lives?

2. Last year we installed a fence around our backyard. As our house sits on the edge of a mountain, we had to stair-step our fence away from our house -- anathema to the financial equilibrium of the household. And, anecdotally, we have had the worst financial year since our early years of marriage. What can we do to counteract the effect of the fence (money flowing away from the house) without removing the fence?

How much money am I looking at spending to paint a living room with 12' ceilings? It is a fairly large size room. I want to paint off-white over blue.

I have a large window consisting of 4 casement windows which totals 112" width. I have white sheers with a burgundy valance. The problem is that it's too bright during the day and suns blinds you if you're on the couch. I'm looking for ideas on a room darkener window treatment that would look good as well as darkening the room when needed. I thought about a scalloped room darkener shade but I can't seem to find one big enough.

the ceilings in the room are only 8 feet tall. currently the room has zero built in lights. I wish to use the space for exercise, yoga, & kids' play room. I am looking for a built in lighting solution that will not get in the way of a yoga class with all members' arms reaching high. The ceiling joicings are sparatic and do not lend themselves to recessed cans. I am wondering if a ½" rope light running the length of the tops of each wall will provide enough light. also, can rope lights be dimmed & cut to specific lengths? the room is roughly 350 sq. feet.

I am trying to find my home's propane connection. I just moved into a new home and I can not figure out which propane tank is mine, I have looked everywhere! I found a tank that is at the house next door, but I am not sure if it is connected to me and my house or not! If anyone has an idea on how to find my tank please let me know. I have found the main hookup to the house and there is a lock on it! Thank you in advance!

I normally would take this as an easy project but this bed has wheels on it so putting it on a platform will have it just roll off...

I'm looking to make the whole bed (including frame) raise up 2 more inches.

any cheap ideas?

(must not be noticeable at the bottom of the bed)

I think they are originally from Germany but I saw them in Mexico. They used to be done with electricity but now there are some that use solar power. Usually done with a push of a button mounted on a wall.

Am redecorating our flat, (we rent) landlord said I could pick out any color I want, now she got burned by her sister on a bunch of chocolate brown colored carpet. So if I want carpet thats what I'm getting. My original idea was to go with lt sage on the walls, some kind of tan or beige carpet lt bl trim in the living room and a gold color trim in dining room (rooms flow together. I have big med blue area rug and new blue and white curtains in there in the dining room I have big brick red area rug and creme colored curtains. So what new color scheme would be good so everything comes together. It is a very small space so I cant do any drk colors, want it to feel light and airy, and would like to stay away from browns and beiges but I dont know if I will be able Any suggestions? Also the wood floors look like crap so not an option.

I have wood cabinets that have been painted. How do I prepare and paint again? Have had friends try to paint theirs and it would bead up - I guess they were using latex on oil. If mine are oil now, what is the easiest way to paint over them?

I have an glass roof conservatory which is great but gets too hot in the summer.
Do these special films work when applied to the glass?
Any other ways to cool the room down without spending a fortune on blinds?

Maybe someone with experience can answer this. Looking to buy about 20 interior doors that would look nice in a log home. Our builder would stain them. Pine would be fine. Looking to spend about $200 per door (material only). Suggestions? The house is located in Western Maryland. Thanks

I am trying to set up my desk different because it doesn't "feel" right. It's uncomfortable. Maybe I don't have the monitor and keyboard in the right positions? I don't know.

Is your keyboard right in front of your monitor or to the side? Which side is it on? Does it matter? Should I look up or down at the monitor or should it be eye level? Lighting??
