I'm using hot water in a pump sprayer but it's taking off little hunks at a time. I have a remover roller but that isn't helping either. I need to get this off in the next few hours or my carpenter will go to another job!!!!! What can I add to the water or another technique??

Our condo, built in the mid-70's has absolutely no architectural detail. The ceilings are at weird angles, so it makes adding crown molding impossible.
the rooms on HGTV look so full of character and yet, my place is a box. Any ideas?

I just realized how boring it is. I have 20 books on decorating, and have a creative flair-- for other people's homes. Where can I start adding color? Even my throw pillows are beige. Walls are beige. Any ideas?

These walls were previously papered so they do NOT have texture on them. Will that work with this paint? Do I need a primer if I am painting right onto drywall? And is it necessary to use the RL brushes and rollers?

Our home came with new cabinets in the kitchen, but no glass in the cabinets. I'd like to find the bubbled old "seeded" type of glass if possible. Where is the best place to look?
I have tried HomeDepot and they said it would be very difficult to order just the glass and they didn't know where to send us. Thanx to all who reply!!

I thought that I had picked the perfect color to paint on the bottom have of my walls in my dining room. A light Moss Green color. After painting it though, I am wondering if I should have of left it alone. Anybody's opinion? Does it always take a little time to get used to a room after you paint it a different color? Need anybody's input here. Thanks

I'd like to get hardwood floors through-out my house. I already have them by the entry way. The problem is I have a golden retriever who's nails scratch the wood and it looks old (even though the house is only a year old). Would Bamboo floors be worth the extra cost? Do they hold up to the wear and tear of a very active family with pets?

I'm looking to buy some new furniture. I went on Value City Furniture's website and loved a lot of their collections! My husband and I are looking for a great living room collection [sleeper-sofa, loveseat, and chair] for a decent price. Unfortunately, Value City Furniture is only located be in the North East. We live in the Gulf of Mexico near New Orleans.

We are looking for quality furniture at a reasonable price. Something just doesn't seem right when you have to spend 2,000+ on these items--per piece. Do you know of any great furniture stores in a reasonable price range? Where do you purchase your furniture?

I would like to create a closet organizer. I know things are cheaper if you do-it-yourself but I'm not that handy. Would it be easier to call a company like California Closets? Can anyone suggest ideas? Thx!

caramel colored leather couches in there with it or is that too much of a casual look? I'm trying to combine my penchant for traditional decorating with a mountain rustic (think Park City --NOT COUNTRY) arcitecture of the house.

I am looking for a bed that will be twin-size during the day and can hold another twin mattress underneath that can be pulled out from under the bed at nighttime. Ideally, I'd like the second mattress to raise up to the height of the daybed so that it wouldbe more like a king-size bed. I already have two standard-size twin mattresses.
