Cause I just framed a whole bunch of them and there are a few that would look excellent in the bathroom. I was holding them up to see how they would look, when it dawned on me that I have never seen pictures of people in anyone else's bathroom. Is it too weird to have pictures of the family in there when people are doing their business, or not?

I am looking to keep down cleaning maintenance on my windows, I now have venetian blinds that are very narrow about an inch at best and get dusty very quickly. All my rooms have one entire wall made up of windows approximately 13 feet wide and the ceilings are 8 feet high (of which 5 feet are windows). I am interested in hearing any ideas that can be done to either replace the venetian blinds with inside casement verticals and curtains which I originally planned to do, but I am sure that this would cost alot of money, along with the labor to install them. Please email me with any suggestions.

I have recently built some wood furniture and columns out of real maple and MDF with maple veneer. I’m about to finish the wood, and need some advice regarding filling gaps, joints and finish nail holes in the maple. One person has told me to use a wax crayon after staining the wood, and another person has told me to use stainable wood filler before staining. I’ve used filler before on another project, and had negative results when staining. Because of the cost of this project, I plan on thoroughly testing anything before making a decision. Can anyone give me advice on which method (wax crayon or filler) is the best?

They are connected. There is one window in each room. The bathroom is very big. Probably bigger than the bedroom. One wall of the bedroom is sliding mirror doors on our closet. I bought a border from the Longaberger company called botanical fields. I plan to put it around the middle of the wall. It is a floral print with a scalloped edge on the bottom. The colors it in are greens, grays, pinks, purples, golds. The linoleum in my bathroom is white with some peach and lavender. My bedroom carpet is cream. I am going to need ideas for curtains in both rooms and for a comforter. The bedroom window is wider than a normal window and a little shorter. The bathroom window is regular size but has a arched glass piece above the window. I wasn't sure whether to paint the walls all one color or do one color above the border and one color below of if I should do both rooms the same color or different color. The border has kind of a basket weave print under the flowers and I am going to use a piece of a white picket fence for my headboard. I hope I have given enough info. Any help will be appreciated.

I'm renovating my apartment and gonna go with a blue shade for paint(not for sure which yet) with a white border. In the meantime I'm also looking to replace some furniture, preferably the dining room table and purchase a coffee table. I'd like to hear your thoughts on should I go with a color scheme to match or not to match?

Last week I put my glasses on the kitchen table. Now when I go to get them, they're not there? I've looked all over the house. But, no luck. Does anyone know where I may have put them? Thanks

Please help me ! I had to put up a $250.00 deposit and will loose it if I can't get it up. Its a LARGE spot. I used a coffee warmer gadget to set a medium size square wick less candle it had been hot for most of the day. It smells so great but what a MESS. I've not tried any thing on it yet because I did not want to make it worse.

My friend (an interior design student) said I should consider using exterior paint in my kitchen because it will hold up to a good scrubbing, and since I'm painting a dark color (either burgundy or dark plumby purple), it would provide better coverage in half the coats that it would take with interior paint, therefore making it more economical also. Is she right, or is there something in exterior paint that I don't want to be inside the house?
