i have a closet that i'd like to turn into a 1/2 bath. the closet is directly upstairs from my basement washer hook up. nothing too fancy, just looking for a very small sink, compact toilet, and mirror.

also (for resale), do you all think it's a bad idea to take away my entry closet to turn it into a half bath? i only have one bathroom, and though its renovated, it's upstairs. we have a back entry where we have coat hooks and things. from what i know i think the 1/2 bath will add value, but wanted other opinions.

thanks!

I have a 4 ft by 6 ft Mirror on the wall facing my front doors with a clear stained glass design in them, to reflect and add light.

Is this reflecting the good luck or chi (I am not sure if that is what you call it) back out instead of allowing it into the house?

Any simple pointers to get me started would be greatly appeciated.

My youngest son wants his room done in skateboarding. He wants a skateboard without the wheels as a wall hanging. Is this possible? Will it look odd? Any suggestions for curtains or valances for his room?

My oldest son has decided to do his new room in a beach theme. I have white wooden blinds up. He wants a valance that looks like a grass skirt. Where do I find or make something like this?

My kitchen has white walls, white cabinets with frosted glass in the front of half, black appliances. The counter tops are light grey. Floor is granite light grey color. Not repainting. Need to know what color of curtains you would use. Theme? At the moment there isn't one. No cherries, strawberries, roosters, or chickens. This kitchen has just been re-modeled. I was thinking of doing red and white gingham curtains. I have some vintage campbells items and a few kelloggs. Have a lot of those little funny signs (examples, No man was ever shot while doing dishes or Why can't I get further ahead rather than a bigger behind.) Not sure if I want to use these now. Thanks in advance for your suggestions.

P.S. I dont have alot of money to do it with since I'm only 14 almost 15.

I think I need new carpet... I'm not sure what the rules are but do you think my town house association would allow me to have my carpet replaced without them knowing?

I am in New York. Do I need an interior design license from New York State? What is needed? Even if you aren't from New York, what are the requirements for your state? Are there any requirements at all? Do I need to just register for a sole propiertorship?

My walls are painted a light lime green, and we can't repaint, but I can add stencils or something else painted on. Any ideas? I'll take ideas for furniture, bedding, accessories, what to put on the walls, etc.. Anything. Thanks :-)

Hi, I am interested in taking on a quick project while
I have 2 weeks vacation time.I have grown tired of my
old countertop which has to go but at the expense of
doing it myself.For the most part it is so outdated and
there are sections that has puffed up and you can press
down on it.I believe it was layed over wood planks because
I look at the overlapped edge underneath and count the planks.
I am thinking I won't have to replace the whole countertop
since it is not plywood or particle.It should be removable
as I am guessing and pried up with some tools.It is an Lshaped
countertop dimensions are side of the sink is 6ft6 in long,
and the countertop area is about 2 ft in width and about 5 ft long combined (Lshaped).Would it be possible to do this
with one or 2 sheets of laminate? what tools do I need and how long of a project is it? what material is needed and cost?
If it does not adhere all that well any improvement would satisfy
me.. thanks all

Fabric must be faux but definitely should look and feel like the real thing. It also needs to be black and white, no browns. Does anyone know where I can find this?

We have an old house with old water pipes and wiring - it wouldn't be very smart to drywall over all of that in case something breaks and we need to get to it. I am wanting to fix up our basement good enough for a play room for our kids - I can paint the walls and put carpet down, but I don't know how to hide all the "stuff" on the ceiling!!I also have a very limited budget to work with!! Help!!
