I have just papered my hallway with some heavy weight dark red paper (looks great) but there are dried paste marks everywhere. I need something to remove the shiny paste marks without removing or damaging the wallpaper. Any home remedies out there?

I am renovating my condo, and both bathrooms have a water-based paint on top of latex paint. Is there any easy way to remove the top layer of paint? It peels off in very small patches, and is taking forever!

I hate Gloss and Semi Gloss paint! I heard you can also wipe off dirt from eggshell Paint? Is this true, or is it only gloss that you can clean? Also, what type of paint is durable enough to handle the bathrooms high moisture?

Can someone recommend where to buy laminate wood floors? Who has the best product for the price? I have been to Sam's and Costco, who has a better product and why? And what about Lumber Liquidators? Thanks Angela

We are preparing the walls so we can paint them and we will need to install new baseboard and window trim. Currently we have old vinyl flooring which is ugly, which was applied over another old vinyl flooring. I am hoping to get a new cabinet, sinks, fixtures, and toilet in 5 yrs probably, which is when I would get nice flooring like stone, porceline, or ceramic tile. Should I get new temporary vinyl flooring (either a sheet or tiles), or just wait another 5 yrs until I get the good stuff? Would cost a min. of $100 for a sheet of vinyl.

I just bought a house and am looking for an inexpensive bed. I've been looking around and finding lots of platform beds for around $200. Apparently they use a futon mattress, which I've never slept on.

When you're putting up wallpaper and want to put up the matching boarder can you put the wall paper all the way up and then put the boarder over it ,or must you only put the wallpaper up so far as to leave room for the boarder?

I have a new picture that I just bought to hang above my couch. I am not sure to center it with the couch because it does not move and nor can it ever be moved because of the size and design of my living room. My other option is to center it with the a wall that is quite long, but because my house is a split bi-level the wall is on the same side as the entrance way and there is a railing there to divide the entrance and the living room. so I was thinking that I could center it on the wall but only center it between the railing and the other wall. I am not sure what the rule of thumb is. Hope someone can help me!!

Ok so I'm redoing my room and I'm having the hardest time finding curtains. Everything is either too long, too boring, or just ugly. I'm looking for an aqua sheer curtain.
I've already looked at
-Target
-Sears
-JC Penny
-Bed Bath and Beyond
-Linens and Things

Where should I look now?

My spouse and I seem to disagree on which looks better. I've always felt that a stone tiled entryway gave a good first impression of "Wow, nice place" (let's pretend,$$ is no object)
My spouse thinks that you are not supposed to break up the hardwood floor. There is a defined entryway and after that is the dinning rm,kitchen,and hall way which are all going to be hardwood floors.
Does any body out there know where I can find pictures of stone entryways leading to a hardwood floor? Or is this not to be??

We are remodeling our bathroom,and we are going to build a custom tile shower and realized that where we need to make our "wet wall" access panel to the plumbing,right next to it is the back side of our breaker box. Is it still safe to build the shower there?

I bought a chandelier for a kids room that holds a 60 watt light bulb, but did not realize it is to plug in and hang. I want it to be a part of the ceiling with the wiring internal and functioning with the light switch- is this possible?
