Decorating & Remodeling - March 2007

I'm redoing my bathroom and I've chosen 3/16" spacers for floor and wall tiles. I'm going to be tiling the shower area and much of the non-shower (non wet) area with 6" tiles. I'm beginning to think that a 3/16" grout line is too large for the wet area. Is this a problem? Will the larger grout line leave more room for water to penetrate the grout? Will it look weird aesthetically if I go with 1/8 or something in the shower and 3/16 in the dryer areas?

Thanks for your opinions!

We have a leather 3 piece suite that is about 7 years old. It is deep pink (Dark Cherry) and I would like to know if it can be re-dyed to something like Mocho or coffee colour to match the room. It is very comfortable and generally unmarked hence a reluctance to replace it. Thanks

I had to use Kilz to cover dark paint in a bedroom, how do I get it off me? and the paintbrush, I thought soap and water would do it, but it's not...Help, I have a white speckled face and hands! I can throw the paintbrush away, but, I'm afraid that's not an option with my body parts!

I have an Amish cotton handmade quilt that I want to hang over my bed. It's approximatley 6 feet wide by 5 feet down, and not too awfully heavy. Kind of like a light bedspread weight. What's the best way? I want to keep it as simple as possible, and know hardly anything about decoration. Thanks for your time.

I'm repainting my room and was washing the walls down with just warm water and the 2 year old paint started to come off the walls. Will this be ok to paint right over? (its a dark color over a light color) or do I need to put a coat of primer over it?

We have sage green carpeting in the living room and dining room and we'd like to paint. We really don't want tans or beiges in those rooms and would like something with some colour though preferably not too intense of a colour. The flooring just outside these rooms is a bleached clay coloured tile and we need the wall colour to visually flow from the tile to the green carpet to the walls. Any advice on what colours to use? Thank you

Hi! Sorry i think i am going to be asking alot of questions. I am looking into finding a house I can turn into mine. I am looking at a house right now with very low ceilings. The lady selling it is 5'2 and can touch the ceilings. How hard is it to raise the roof? What is a decent size for a ceiling? Is this something I can do or do I have to hire some one? ( My family has been remolding there homes for years but have never done anything like this.)
