I have a large turquiose enamel parlor stove for sell. This stove would be perfect in a ski resort lodge or bed and breakfast because it is so large. It is a Magnificent Windsor made by Lakeside Foundry Co. in Chicage. Also I have a full size green and cream enameled cook stove by Kalamazoo, Michigan. Any info would be greatly appreciated!

I am thinking about doing a Broadway themed bedroom. I have some show posters and playbills that I think I am going to frame and hang on a wall. I also was thinking about putting stage lights in the corners of the room and maybe get a mirror and put lights around it like the backstage of a theater. I also thought about painting the outline of a city skyline on a wall and maybe on the other walls have music notes. Do you have any other ideas that I overlooked? What do you think of stage curtains on the windows and possibly behind my bed. Please give me some more ideas! Thanks!

My house is very broken up and right now all the walls are white. I want some color, Ilike the light browns but my boyfriend dislikes them. I am thinking lighter colors and I am going to keep all the trim work white which i think will look sharp and I am putting silver outlets on all the outlet and switch covers. What colors would look great?

Would you paint your bedroom a dark charcoal (almost black) color? Out of the photos shown below, which room will you choose? Click link below to view photos and tell me what you think.

We moved into our house several years ago and it's covered in an ugly forest green carpet. Our kitchen however has a nice wood laminate floor. Our carpet is nasty and needs to be replaced, but I can't decide if I should get new carpet or if I should use the same floor that is in our kitchen, for our entire house.

I love the way carpet looks and feels, but I'm thinking of something that will last for quite some time. I have 3 kids and 3 dogs and I worry that carpet will get nasty pretty quickly, but I am also concerned that hardwood floors are going to need daily cleaning, which I don't have time for.

We don't have a lot of money and have been saving up for this, so I really want to make sure I will be happy with what we choose.

Have any of you ever replaced capret with hardwood floors? Would you make the same decision? Any regrets?

I used glaze to paint a fresco wall finish (two color glazes applied with brush stroke and blended with cheesecloth). The problem is I had to stop short of finishing a wall and when I went back to pick up where I left off, I have this VERY noticable "water" line. I was unable to blend the two areas.

Is there a technique to doing this ? Or is there a way to correct it, short of repainting the whole wall white and starting over?

Help!!!

I am painting our bathroom of our 70 year old house and need a paint that will cover some flaws yet still be highly resistant to water and humidity. I would like to use the same paint on the ceiling and upper walls in the shower that I use on the rest of the bathroom ceiling. Also, any tips on minimizing the mess and the drips would be highly appreciated. (The rest of the bathroom is not being repainted).

Thanks!

We have recently had a kitchen fitted and among other problems, the door to an integrated appliance isn't flush, this may result in a complete refit, therefore over the christmas period we have been without a fully functioning kitchen as we do not want to put things in their places, eg. utensils, food, jars, tins, plates etc. incase we have to remove it all again. All these are kept in our baby's room and he is in with us, as there is a freezer in his room (among other things), we also have a fridge in the hallway and have been unable to tile/paint as we do not know what will happen next. We have been inconvenienced, to say the least and feel that we should be entitled to some form of compensation. Any suggestions?

I'm looking to install a type of flooring in my home, and I've been considering bamboo flooring because it's supposedly a fairly decent hardwood which looks good, relatively cheap, and a renewable type of wood unlike cherry or teak.

I was wondering if you DIY-ers would know the pros and especially cons of this relatively new flooring material.

I live in the Boston area in a 1980's built condo complex, so the interior is fairly maintained year-round.

Thanks!

Happy New Year!
