I purchased laminate flooring that the package was held together with clear packaging tape. The top flooring plank has tape adhesive residue all over it. What can I use to remove the residue without damaging the finish?

I have 5 months which to finish his room so he can move into it. I'm painting it a ocean blue. But I need ideas for what else I can do with his walls. I can't find any Darth Vader border. I have star wars cortens and bed covers. (cartoon version) But the catch is we live in a rented apartment. So what ever goes on the walls has to come off the walls. Or be painted over when we leave.

My husband and I love to watch the home improvement shows, but are very confused by how they get their materials and labor so inexpensive... How do they do it? We are willing to put in work ourselves, so that is the same or better than the shows... We tried to redo our kitchen, bath, and basement only and got quotes of what people redo a WHOLE house that is crappy for, why??? PLEASE HELP!!! We can't afford to move and need to update our home asap!

I know there was shag carpet, right? but what else? I did a search on google, and a lot of what I found seemed to be in the upper class. what did the homes look like for the middle class? I'm sure someone on here has grown up in a house like that. What did it look like inside? Thanks

I have heard you can get people in who will change the colour of your bathroom suite, but i can't find it anywhere on the internet. I need to change it from cream to white. Would it be cheaper to just buy a new budget suite?

I found a picture that I love of a beach scene with the ocean, It has beach sand, the ocean and the brownish yellow plants that grow around oceans. I would like to decorate the whole room around that picture. I need help!! My ceiling is white (tiles). I have a non working fireplace but I can dress it up to look like it works. I thought I could put the picture over it.
On the other side of the room there are 2 windows next to each other. It is the first room a person walks into when entering the apt. I thought about windowseats along the wall with the windows but I just don't. Also what kind of furniture would be appropriate. Right now it's empty. The picture has pink, several shades of blue, green,yellow I guess mostly pastel colors with some strokes of brown and black. The next room is the kitchen and those colors are white and green (ivy decorations). Any helpful ideas will be appreciated. I should mention money ($$) IS an object, but I can work w/ your ideas. Thanks!
