Decorating & Remodeling - February 2007

I want to put up a few decorations for my daughter's birthday party on Saturday - they wouldn't be up very long, but I'm worried about scotch tape taking the finish off of walls, furniture, etc. Is there any kind of adhesive that would be safe?

I want to add exhaust fans to my bathrooms but really don't want to go through the ceiling and roof or the walls if I can avoid it.

Me and my partner have just bought our first house. As it was a little over our budget, we now have about £850 to furnish the whole thing!! Any ideas where we can get nice, cheap furniture from?
We are in England.

My family room & kitchen was together so I would have to paint both the same color. I need advise, front rooms I painted Yellow, I wouldn't mind painting the rest of the house yellow, but wanted to see if anyone had any other opinions on what color. Most of my furniture is wood, oak cabinets and black appliances.

The house has been standing for 70 years, so would it be impossible to dig down and add a basement?

They have this paint at lowes, I believe it has Granite flakes in it. I really like the look, but not so much the price. I was wondering if you could paint a wall a solid color, then mix the glitter with a clear glaze and use that over the paint. Do you think that would work and look nice?

I have a dark blue carpet, dark brown desk, dresser, and bed, and white doors and molding. I don't know what kind of wood the dresser, desk, and bed is, but it's a relatively dark brown. I was thinking of going for a light gray color for the walls, not to be boring, I just thought it would work well.

I'm not color expert but right now my walls are painted the same color as the carpet with black sponging (not my fault my parents did it...i feel like i'm in a cave)

I was leaning towards a beighish color at first but I went online to sherwin williams and Iike the light gray's the best, tell me your opinion.

Or would you prefer to buy a painting already prepared, from a shop or art dealer?
If you would commission a painting, how much would you expect to outlay?
Have you commissioned a painting before?

Just doing some market research. Thanks for your input.

I just bought a house that had tatouage in every single room. Since I was in a hurry, I primered and put a layer of paint in a room already. Of course, the tatouage can be seen through. Everyone told me that's how you get rid of it, and now I know it was a horrible idea. Is there any way to take it off althought it's already been painted over? I don't mind repainting, but is it possible to even get it off anymore?
