We've just moved into our first house, and there are two extra bedrooms that will take us a while to grow into. Painting is our #1 option to transform these spaces into guest rooms on a budget.

The carpets are downright ugly -- the largest room has what I call "dusty plum" - a true, darker purple with pinkish/red tones (the walls are pastel pink and purple right now - a little girls' room).

The smaller room has a lime/peridot carpet - think gender neuteral baby's room (exactly what it was). The walls have a multi-colored baby border and are painted to match the carpet (poor baby has a bad start in the style world already!).

Any recommendations for colors to paint these rooms to tone down or blend these carpets? My first instinct for the purple room is to go with an antique bronze color, and the room is large enough to pull it off. I'm drawing a blank with the green room... any thoughts are appreciated!

I have about 5 rooms in my house that we are going to change from other tile to tile and carpet to tile. Each room averages about 14 x 14. Anyone know how long that whole process might take, assuming we have a good company who wants to do it in a timely manner? Does anyone know if we have to not walk on it for a certain amount of time (if so, how long?) Thanks!

And can you buy that somewhere? I'd love to give it a try. Maybe it would be the answer to some of our energy problems? You wouldn't need any lightbulbs anymore, would you?

I'm going to be painting my bedroom lilac and I was wondering if I should paint the ceiling too or leave it white. I know people used to leave the ceiling white, but do they still do that or do they also paint the celing?

I have a problem with sound travelling between walls - is there any way to insulate a wall that is existing without taking down drywall and creating big mess with big price tag? Can you make a hole in the 2x4 and spray insulate?
