I am wanting to make an opening in a wall between my kitchen and livingroom, with the opening in the wall being 5' x 2 1/2'. Not sure if the wall is load bearing or not. How can I find this out? If load bearing, is the size I want to make ok or does it need some sort of support when I cut it? Whats the easiest way to go about this project? Was going to leave about 3' from each side of the opening and about 42' from the floor. Any suggestions?

My husband and I want to paint our living room gold, but we are unsure which colors will work best with it. We would like the room to be sunny, warm, cozy, and inviting. Any help will be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

I am looking at removing the existing wooden fire place surround (not a mantel, but some decorative wood surrounding the fireplace), and the 70's fireplace hearth, and replacing each with some nice slate tiles.

The slate would be attached to the wall, and to the floor. Is there anything I should know when attaching (slate) tiles to a wall? Do I need to remove any paint, or can I get an adhesive that will bond (PL Premium or regular mortar mix?).

How close should the grout lines be with slate? I know with marble you want them close, and with ceramic you can have some space.

How do you ensure the tiles don't "slip" when attached to a vertical wall.

Sorry for the questions, but I do appreciate any suggestions and answers!

I have two formal roooms (LR & DR) that I'm finally getting around to sprucing up after five years of living with "builders white". The ceilings have crown moulding from the walls to the first "step", then about 5-6" of vertical space in an octagonal shape, bordered by another set of moulding. Need some ideas on whether to keep the vertical portion the same color as the walls or paint it as I do the rest of the ceiling. Thanks in advance for any help/suggestions.

We currently have wood single pane windows and I will never get wood again. I have heard that vinyl expands and contracts a lot so am thinking about fiberglass but do not know that much about them. Anyone know what is best?

I've been planning on putting some personality into my father's plain beige and white kitchen. He has wall to wall white appliances and assorted cupboards that could really use some color. I was thinking about hand-painting and sealing the furniture, but I'm not sure what I can do with the appliances. Contact paper and stickers are not on my list of things to use. I'd like to give the appliances new faces and paint all visible sides. Some appliances get quite warm, especially when the kitchen is warmed in general from cooking. What kind of paint could I use to fully paint all visible outside parts of appliances (refridgerator, microwave, toaster, possibly the washer's front and top, thinking about the metal ceiling lamp as well) and still have them safe to use? I need a paint that will resist getting marked up or dulling, something that can withstand some heat and a good surface-cleaner wipe down. Any ideas? I would really appreciate any advice or experiences you have about this! - Sam

I might be buying a brand new house, and just wondering what the choices are for your new home: like, what kind of cabinets, countertops, hard wood floor, carpet, color of the shutters/door, hardware, door handels, jacuzzi tub, and anything else...
If you also know about how much more a month for upgrades, that would be great!
