I want to cover up my concrete patio with some sort of stone work. What is the best way to go? I thought about outdoor tile, but I just can't decide. Thanks

My husband and I have a townhouse that we rented. It has sliding doors in the living room to get to the back 'yard', and they put vertical blinds in front of the sliding doors. We do not have a place to store them (our bed is a platform style, so there is no under the bed, and none of our closets are big enough to fit the blinds in there), so we want to leave them up, but cover it with curtains.

I'd like to put the curtains in front of the blinds, but the rod would have to extend a good 5 or so inches from the wall. Is there any hardware I can use that would extend the rod connection pieces so I can hang the curtains in front? I'm going to hang the curtains above the blinds and in front, to completely hide them (we don't use that door much, so the curtains won't be fully opened, and I have a design in mind that will let light in, but hide the top of the vertical blinds).

But I need to get the curtains in front. Any suggestions?

I want to divide my studio (approx 575 sq feet) into a one bedroom so that I can sleep at night without my pets keeping me up. I don't want to put up a permanent wall because most of the windows and the central heating/air conditioning unit would end up in the bedroom only. I need some ideas on what I can put up to make a "wall" of sorts. Some Ideas I've had or been given, attach bifold doors to stretch across the apartment, put up sliding doors so that it's only a partially cut off room, use screens or curtains, put up bookshelves (will be kind of hard to move). Any other ideas or suggestions?

We must choose a new kitchen a.s.a.p. We definitely want a contemporary look - probably either white or cream units and were thinking of a black granite worktop but wondering if that's too much contrast, too much shine overall.. Doea anyone out there have a kitchen like this and does it look OK. The floor will be wood. Any comments may help us choose - thanks.

I have just moved into a rented house and the main bedroom walls are painted a dark browny almost tan colour. I don't really want to repaint the room as it isn't my house, but was thinking of changing the colour of my bedding and decor. What colours do you think will match with that colour walls. (I cant have white becoz of my two dogs).

Thanks guys

We are getting a new house and I was wandering what theme I should do my room in. I thought of an ocean theme and a Tropical theme. Do you have any other ideas? Hints on how to do things or things I could do to help my theme would be great also. Thanks in advance!

I need to calculate the size of my home. It's a three bedroom, 2 restrooms, living room, kitchen and dining room house with a garage for two cars. There's no backyard, nothing outside. Can someone help me estimate its size? I mean just give me some idea. I know it's impossible to calculate the exact size but an approximate size would be fine and very appreciated. Also, please let me know what the size of a small bedroom can be. Thanks.
