I plan on deglossing first but I've been told to primer first so the joint compound will hold better. I then will apply a texture paint and then paint one more time with the final color. Does it matter if I prime first or fill holes and paneling groves first?

I am looking to remodel my kitchen. I am stuck here alone in the office for the day (with nothing to do but babysit the telephone) and figured that I would work on my kitchen remodel and toss some visual ideas around.

Is there a good FREE website that I can play around with my ideas and concepts? One with GOOD visuals and easy to use would be best. I tired Home Depot and Lowes, but none of them let me "view" my kitchen ideas.

Anyone have some Websites they can share?

I have a Bungalow style kitchen with white cabinets, butcher block counters, and wood floors. I would like some advice on a good color for the large kitchen that is in keeping with 1920's style but also "appetizing" (e.g. not the dark yellow I have now!)

Does it depend on the gauge of wire? Or can I just pop out that breaker and add a bigger amp?

We painted most of it Saturday. Second coat yesterday and touched up a few places today. We did all this indoors. I moved the paint can outside. The changing table is still inside. Paint fumes are still lingering. Will they go away? We used Rustoleum sateen finish smooth protective enamel; ideal for furniture, fixtures and outdoor decor. Says it is safe for childrens toys, etc.

We're about to move into a new place and I've decided to decorated my husband's bathroom a black and white look. I just bought a vinyl shower curtain that's a soft white and has blocked black and gray boxes on it. It's really nice and trendy. But I don't know if I should go with black rugs and red bathroom accessories or just black rugs and accessories. I would like a touch of red in the bathroom but I don't know where to add it. I know how to decorate when I already have the items but I don't know how to pull different colors together to create a dramatic effect. Any advice would be appreciated it!!!!

We are having an addition put on the back of our house (720 sq. ft). Our contractor said he underbid the job and he is having to take about $20,000 out of his pocket to finish the job. We have a written contract that states the total amount and estimated time for completion. I have called him and left messages, but he hasn't called me back. I am half tempted to go to his home and see what is going on. I am very angry and confused. He has enough money to cover the whole project...all we have to pay is his profit when the job is complete. What are my rights? What should I do? There are only 35 more days left until the estimated time is up for the job. Should I get an attorney? We have a covered structure with 2 x 4's and wall partitions, and tyvek plastic on the outside. We are waiting on shingling the roof, electrical, insulation and drywall, cabinets, flooring. I am so lost. Somebody please help!!!!

my home was built in the 70's, and while i love the rustic wood accented vaulted ceilings, the wood paneling has started driving me nuts after a year and a half of lookin at them! Every main floor wall is wood paneling...and feels like an old mobile home. the back bedrooms were painted over when we moved in. (def still paneling under there by the way nails go in the wall...lol) One room has the lines in the paneling filled somehow, and painted and looks great. We were able to re-paint it baby colors when we were expecting without any problems at all. any ideas how they were able to do it and get it as smooth as drywall? I love the smooth look, and would like to do my living and dining area similarly. How?

I have a TV on a base in my entertainment center that all totaled weighs about 100 pounds. It is on a tile surface, and if I need to slide it out to get to the wires, it is a royal pain. I know that there are small devices made to place underneath at each corner that makes it a whole lot easier to move, but have no idea what they are called. Thanks!

My walls started out neutral white or whatever is on brand new walls. Then when I was 10 I painted them bright yellow. When I was 18 I painted them bright blue. Now I am ready to tone down and go with something neutral or closer to it! Is there anything I need to do to my walls before repainting them? there are areas where there is excessively heavy paint. Do I need to strip them with some chemical or sand them, etc? Help!

Everytime I've gone mattress shopping, why are there no QUALITY and COMFY twin size matresses on the market? What's available all seems like crap. I just bought a new twin set 13 months ago and it's shot already. Seems like the bedding companies only make the quality stuff in full, queen, and king. Don't these idiots know not everyone has space for a full, queen or king size bed? Even the best name brands seem to put out only mediocrity in twin sizes. Is the source of the issue the bedding manufacturers alone, or is it happening on the furniture stores' end?
