How do I "properly" attach a 3/4" thick plywood bar top to a brick based bar? Right now it looks like the bartop is laminated mdf and it's just sitting on top of the brick bar base(yes brick AND mortar). The brick base is "L-shaped" (so is the top)...and just sits on top of the brick wall base...not very secure by any means. I would like to change it to a 3/4" plywood top, stain it, seal it, and most of all "SECURE" it to the brick wall base. I hope I have given enough info and thank you very much, in advance.

We want to have kids soon...and I've heard that leather is a really easy clean up for messes that kids make. However, we also have a dog and a cat and they both jump on the furniture occasionally. I'm worried that their claws with leave a lot of scratches on a leather couch...what do you think would be the best bet for the type of sofa that would be easy to clean, yet durable against scratches, etc...?

ps...we plan to keep our pets off the furniture, but as we don't have nice furniture now and they are used to getting up there, it will take some training and it only takes once to put a nice big scratch on your couch...

These are the styles of decor I like - Southwest inspired such as Native American art, pottery, drums, cactus, zig zag lines, bold earthy colors etc; Canadian/Alaskan wildlife like moose, wolves, evergreen trees, pinecones, etc; and Asian inspired decor like bamboo plants, water fountains, windchimes, teapots, feng-shui, etc.

In my new home, should I try to incorporate parts from each or stick with one type the whole way through? I don't know how I could pick only one style and if I did, I would miss the others. What are your thoughts on this?

I'm wndering if there is software out there that will allow you take a photo of your house, put it in the software and allow you to see what it would look like with various type of siding and/or roofing on it. I already know there's software that you can use to change the color of the inside and outside of your house, but I'm more concerned with siding/roofing. Help is appreciated!

do i find a nice comforter and then take the colors from there for the walls, or what? i don't mean jungle tropical. just soft seashore and bech house look. don't like the stark white that i see in the magazines. i want to do the walls in a soft color with white trim. but i'm not sure of the color i should go with. aren't there some colors that are more soothing and relaxing that you should put in bedrooms? remember, it's a beachy kind of feel

Hi,

I'm a first time buyer and have found an old style 2 bed terrace house with period features for a very good price. The problem is it's a complete dump and would new flooring throughout, a new kitchen, new bathroom and fully decorated.

I'm brand new to this and very keen on the property although not sure i should be taking on such a challenge with zero experience.

Does anybody care to take a wild stab at cost to renovate to a reasonable (livable) standard?

Also - does anybody know any good websites or books which i could refer to for advice on this?

Thanks.

I'm NERVOUS about an upcoming inspection to see what renovations are needed in my Sect. 8 apartment.
I'm a shut-in, am disabled with several disabilities, not the least of which is AMD blindness, a case of Vertigo that can't take noise and vibration without it setting me off and off-balance. The talk around the complex is that they'll be tearing out walls (oh, the noise!) and all my precious artwork could be ruined. Who will put things back the way I both need them to be and decorating-wise, the way I need to "see"?
Thusfar this housing complex has been relatively quiet but now with the renovations coming, is there anything I can do "within the System" to keep these changes to a minimum? My home is furnished w/rooms full & precious little extra space in this 1-BR apt.
How in God's name will they work around both me and my stuff? I'm also going blind and _need things orderly in order to function at all_.


Please help if you can, and please make it QUICK. Thanks
