Every nine months into having my flat decorated black circles appear on the outside walls.Every time a decorator calls he says its the nails that have been used by the former builders on the cavity walls?? I am waiting for my management co. to inspect,but I have waited 3 months for them and still not arrived,so can anyone help me out there.It all sounds spooky but its not.I have tried talking to builders, but no one can say what it is so please help ( this has been occurring for 10 years) and now its getting expensive.Each time i have it decorated the chap says i'll put a coat of this or that but it never does the trick.They have now started appearing the the other rooms on the outside wall ?? very distressed homeowner

Ok, so we have decided to build a 2 story garage. situation is that we are going to live in the garage while building our house. We need 3 bedrooms, a kitchen, bathroom, living area, w/d hookup..pretty much a decent sized apartment. I am willing to have 2 bedrooms upstairs and one bedroom downstairs. All three upstairs would be perfect though. We want warmth in the winter and cool in the summer. Kitchen size is not important, as long as i can store some food and cook. Is there any cheap way to do this. garage dimensions are another thing...woudl a 30'x40' garage do. Anyone with any advice please help. If you have done this before that would be excellent. Anyone with "free" floor plans? that would be awesome!!

I need to decorate my studio apartment. I am in the market for a futon or lounge chair and I have limited space, a limited budget and to top it off I have a bad back, so I need something comfortable :) I am young so I want something hip and modern. I was looking at some Target styles...Mali Flex Futon Combo - Black and Penelope Pillow Chair - Black
Has anyone out there purchased these items or have something they reccomend? Thank you!!

I am moving into a house in a few weeks and the kitchen is very very small. The cabinets right now are painted white but have these awful flower stencils on them. I want to repaint the cupboards to cover up the stencils but I Don't want to be as bright as the white is. Any ideas what I can do to make it look more cozy but not super small. Right now one of the walls is a little darker then mint green. I'm thinking of doing a light caramel color on that wall.
