I have a living room window that, from windowsill to windowsill, is 74" long. I recently purchased an extendable curtain rod where you mount some brackets to the wall and the pole rests in the brackets. The curtains get threaded through the pole. I need to know how far apart the brackets should be mounted on the wall from the window sill and how high up above the window they need to be hung (in inches). There must be some kind of general rule for this....please help! The curtains are not going to be very heavy. Warm regards.

I just went on JC Penneys, Lowes, and Home Depot, and only found 2-3 different kinds of vertical blinds. I really wanted colored ones and I am only seeing huge ones for doors.

Or can I just tile around it? If not, will the toilet fit back on the floor with the added width of the tile. Or will I need to adjust something on the toilet.

My boyfriend son is moving in with us. We want to change our dining room into a bed room. I don't want it to be permenent, because if we sell the house. Our kitchen is ok in size, but, a family could use the extra space for entertaining. I thought of french doors that lead into the living room. We have a 12 feet opening into the living room. I don't want a wall. maybe partialy bring the walls into a 6 foot or 8 foot opening. What can we do to close this, yet, leave it with a dining room posibility for future owners? The opening into the kitchen is door size. We can put a door up, or something that can be removed later.

Any sugestions. We want to do this as cheap as possible. We are hopefuly moving in the next year.

I have painted wood paneling that separates at the seams whenever the weather changes. I'm getting ready to sell my house and the paneling is separated due to the warm weather. What can I do to cover the gaps or fix them so they look better?

Has anyone got this combination or seen it? I was keen on the black granite until I saw someone's kitchen last night and thought it made their room look dark. I want a really fresh modern look. Our preferred kitchen supplier can get the white or black very cheaply from an importer (but not other colours).

I'm a moron. Now that that's out of the way:

I was refinishing old furniture and used a minwax water-based stain. The first coat was barely there, so I did a second coat, which I know now was probably too heavy. At first it looked fine, but it eventually dried to a hideous dark brown, opaque, 70's brown color that left no trace of the grain. This took weeks of stripping and sanding - if I have to start over, these are going to goodwill before I make a bonfire out of them.

Does anyone know how to dilute/dissolve/remove water based stain? What I've tried so far (on smaller areas, undersides, etc):

1. Bleach
2. Ammonia
3. Mineral spirits
4. Paint stripper
5. Shellac/varnish stripper
6. Oxy
7. Grapefruit juice
8. Vinegar
9. Water
10. Liquid dish soap

This stuff will NOT come off or thin at all.Sanding looks even worse, even with a very fine grade.

Any advice is welcome.

They all look like the (business office) white color....and incandescent light bulbs have a nice yellow tint that really adds texture to a room.

I want to cover my kitchen countertops and backplash with a heavy duty contact paper that looks like marble. I've seen where it says if you're going to paint the countertops to coat it with a waterbased polyurethane, can I coat the contact paper with that also? Thanks!
