I was thinking doing something dramatic like chocolate brown, but I don't know if that's too much. Aswell what colour tables could I put with it? Please help!

I want to learn more about feng shui. I have heard that what most websites give are "western" takes on feng shui and not right. What are the basics of true feng shui and how can I apply those principles to my home?

We've had an offer for the asking price accepted. Our survey has determined that the roof needs replacing (not the timbers thankfully) as it's at the end of it's life. (Victorian mid terrace) A quote has come back for about £3,500 for the job to include a replacement flat roof that also need replacing on an old extension at the back. Guttering also needed replacing, and this is also included.

So... should the seller reduce the value of the house by the amount of the estimate, or am I as the buyer obliged to put money towards this? My gut feeling is that I should organise to get the work done, and be responsible for the quality of the builder's work, but that I shouldn't have to pay anything more for the house than what the survey says that's it's worth.

The actual survey said the house was was worth £5,000 less than its asking price, whereas the building estimate was £3,500.. although the original survey suggested that the timber work in the roof might need replacing.

Any ideas?

lamps that you can set on your windowsill during the day to charge them and then use in your home in the evening? I know they make garden lights, but it seems this same technology would work for interior lamps as well.

My husband replaced the tile in our bathroom over a year ago. Since then, he hasn't caulked around the bottom of the tub where the tile meets the tub. His excuse is that he plans to replace the tub sooner or later (although it won't be financially feasible for a very long time due to other ongoing projects -- years, even!) Isn't there a risk of the water rotting away the underlayment in the meantime? Or am I just being paranoid? Is there any real benefit to waiting or should I just get a tube and figure out how to do it myself?

We have a new home and the master bath has a standard shower wall kit and a separate garden tub. I'm trying to find out if there is an extension that you can add on to the shower wall kit to make the shower larger. Moving the door out and adding on to the shower? Or, are the shower wall kits a standard size or can I get one that is deeper but not wider? Any suggestions? Thanks

Hi, having problems with a color scheme....the house i'm moving into is very airy and open feeling with super white walls (which i do like) and a VERY light minty/sage green carpet. I was thinking about kahki colored couches, maybe with mocha accents? Or what about plum? Or yellow?! And if so, how bright of a yellow? The house also has medium colored cabinets and silver hardware (doorknobs) and a focal point of a gray slate firplace. I need help with a color scheme!!!! I'm so confused!
