I just need to do some touch ups, but I'm having trouble finding the right color of paint that matches? Is there an easier way to do this?

They can't agree on a color!! I told them to pick two colors and we will paint 2 of the walls one color and the other 2 walls another color. The two older girls like baby blue. My 3 year-old likes any color. Their furniture is a light pine. Please help me pick out 2 colors for their room or a color that will go with the baby blue (just not white). We want to paint the trims and closet door off white. Thanks for your help.

Hi there,
I recently asked where the cheapest place to get paint would be and got a great answer about checking habitat for humanity in my area. I did go to the website - but couldn't find where to go for businesses that have made donations such as paint or other household materials. Can someone direct me maybe what to put in the search? I am from Saint Paul, MN. Thanks!

I recently painted my automatic garage door but with the wrong color. I did not want to paint it too soon because the paint might not stick to the garage door properly? How long should I wait before I could paint it over again?

Problem is that the house I am renting: the master bathroom has dark green tile (floor), white counter/cabinets, white walls with gardenia floral border (at top, near ceiling). Then the master bedroom has ugly brown carpet, white walls and I already have an iron sleigh bed, jaqaurd bedding with gold/brown tones. I was thinking of using a linen/khaki colored towels & rugs in bathroom since it has a touch of that color in the border, but my bedroom is so large I know I need to paint the walls too. What color do you suggest I paint master bedroom walls and how do I tie in my gold bedding with the aweful green tiles of the bathroom?

Help! My kitchen needs a makeover! Here's what has to stay - the floor has a marbled look to it - it is mostly white but has blueish gray in it, the cabinets are a beautiful dark wood to match the rest of the trim in our home, and the countertop is pale blue.
The kitchen is quite small, and sort of dark because of all of the dark wood cabinets, but I am not willing to paint the cabinets. I consider myself to be good at interior design, but I am just stumped because of the high contrast between the pale blue countertop and the dark cabinets. I love the floor, but hate the countertop. I know you can buy paint to paint the counter, but I am too scared to do that. I would consider having someone put new laminate on the countertop, but I have no idea how much this would cost or who (a store?) you would go to to ask about this.
Another problem I have is that there is a LOT of trim in our kitchen. This means I have to decide on two colors instead of one.

I recently painted my bedroom a warm tan color. My base board are white, my curtains are white, and all of my bedding is white. My bedroom furniture is a deep chocolate brown and I have some rot iron peices in the room. I love these colors, but did I go about this the right way? Is it alright to use this color on my walls and such a large amount of white in other places, if so, should I throw in an accent color to give the room more of a punch? Any suggestions?

I found a foreclosed home I'd like to purchase. The home has about 3000 square feet plus a basement. To start, it needs new hard wood floors, paint in every room, new light fixtures in every room, and a new garage door. The kitchen also needs new cabinets and countertops. All three bathrooms also need to be updated. About how much?

Hi. I have a piece of furniture (an armoire wall unit) that is stained a medium oak color. The piece is solid wood (oak) and contains no MDF. I am thinking of restaining this a lighter honey oak color. What is the best way to go about this? Do I strip it? Sand it? Since I want to go lighter, I figure I have to do some priming before I restain. Any suggestions are apprciated!

I just moved into a house that I am allowed to decorate as I want. My walls in the kitchen as well as the cabinets are all white. So far I have 4 old style jello molds and a clock on the wall. I would like to go with old italian style. I really love the 1920's to 1950's flavor. What kinds of things could I do that wont cost much? Im thinking along the lines of stencils and that. Any ideas?

Serious replies only please.

I already have wall colors picked out. What I'm looking for is posters and furniture, mainly. Any ideas? They're much appreciated!!!! And anything other than posters/furniture I might have left out that could accent the room the way that I want is also worth mentioning. Thank you to all who contribute!
