Decorating & Remodeling - March 2007

I'm looking for a website which sells desks made for small televisions studios (such as those in a school) without having to have one custom made. The desk will be for a news show, so it should have that style that one sees on network TV news. Nothing fancy, just a simple curved desk for a studio.

Many thanks!

I just bought this house in New Orleans. I'm from here, but I've always hated how old and antique-ish everything is. So I now have this old house, and I'm in the process of having it modernized with hardwood floors, recessed lights, granite countertop, stainless steel appliances, smooth textured walls/ceilings, etc. I'm just getting out of a really dark place in my life, and this house is supposed to be a new chapter for me. I want the place to be bright, airy, positive, etc. The problem is that I am definitely leaning towards a dark stain called "red mahogany" for the hardwood floors. I am an extremely indecisive person, and unfortunately the time has come for me to pick a stain color to give the contractor. I think the red mahogany would be beautiful, i'm just not sure how much it would darken up the place, and what effect that would have on me, compared to a lighter, sunnier, happier pine or natural stain. What do you think? Also, would the dark floor make the place seem smaller? TY

I'm looking for cheap here - $100 for an end table is WAY out of my budget. $20 for that is better. I'm looking to "fill" a 2 bedroom apartment for under $1000, so I need cheap prices without losing quality. I've tried Walmart.Com and Target.Com so far, but am not sure where to look. Any help appreciated!

I want to put a skirt on my daughters bed, but it is a slat bed. Do I have to get box springs or something of that nature to work or should a deconstruct the skirts and velcro them somehow to the underside of the bed frame?
Is there some trick of the trade for this problem?

Thanks! :-)

I just moved into a townhome and I have a very small powder room on the main floor. White walls, ceiling, white woodwork, white toilet, white pedestal sink, and a large oval mirror framed in silver over the sink. There is no window so I don't want it to be super dark. The floor is pretty--large squares of porcelain tile in deep green & black--sort of swirled like slate. What can I do to make this room pop? I am willing to paint--can't change the sink or mirror. Any ideas for a picture or wall hanging? My style is tradtional and the living room/dining room are pale gray with a large floral area rug with a navy background. Any help would be appreciated--everyone has such good ideas.

We are putting up crown molding in our "billiards" room in the "sunken in" bottom floor of our tri-level townhome. The walls are a deep red. We have an espresso pub table and an espresso mirror. The fabric on the sofa is a cream/tan with brown lines. The cieling is white. The room opens up to the kitchen and there are three bamboo shades (on the darker side). The fireplace tile is kind of a golden yellow/tan color but we may change that someday to match the sofa more... The question is whether we should go with white crown molding (even though there isn't really any white in the room) or whether we should stain it to bring in the color from the bamboo shades or a color from the sofa (creamy tan or medium brown). I have only really seen white crown molding before but Lowe's sells quite a bit of stained crown molding too. So, we thought it would be good to consider our options.

I have seen other "santa-fe" style homes. The exterior is either painted brick or cinder block. Neither of these materials look "authentic adobe". Any Ideas?

Natural oak cupboards. Thinking of a darker color. Is it actually worth the hard work? Or am I better off, simply replacing them?
Also thinking of a stainless steel backsplash. Would that be hard to do?

Thanks for the very much needed info, before we start the work.
