I'm going to be a senior in college next year, and I'm moving into a smallish studio apartment off-campus. I don't have a lot of money (starving college student), so I'm looking for less expensive items (preferably used so it won't be so bad if they get stains or something). Does anyone have any suggestions on where I should look for good deals on furniture, especially beds and matresses? (My twin-sized bed at home is too small to use when my boyfriend comes to visit, so I need to find a bigger one)
Any advice you can give will be greatly appreciated.

I would like to paint the siding but it's not feasible at this time.
I just can't figure out what colors would coordinate with the yukky light green.

I have seen many more green sets of Hitchcock furniture on line. I have 4 chairs and a bench that are black. I am planning on selling them, but have nothing to compare them with.

I bought it awhile ago and put it away. Now that I decide to use it it doesn't work so its too late to take it back for exchange. Any thoughts on how to fix the can or nozzle. It shouldn't be clogged because it was never used.

We live in a small village in upstate NY. An older community of older houses. There is a big seasonal community on a nearby lake, with many pricey homes. Our house is a very well built 1952 ranch. It has wide crown molding throughout. Hardwood floors everywhere but kitchen & baths. Redid the bathrooms 2 years ago in nice but not magnificent manner. The floors are in good shape. We recently had the house repainted. The kitchen cupboards are in good shape & not really dated. We have 2 fireplaces, 1 in the living room & 1 in the basement. The basement needs to be refinished. The back/side porch was remodeled into a family room w/French door about 20 years ago, it has carpeting which we are going to rip out & replace w/floating wood flooring. We recently put new sashes in all the old Anderson windows. I would like a deck. We have a large yard. My husband is interested in putting a metal roof on the house when it next needs one and I am adamantly opposed. Any ideas for the best upgrades?

I want the room to seem open and large so I need to choose a lighter wall paint but I love the elegance of the rustic fixtures, my problem is that I just replaced all of the cabinet hardware in the kit/bath with new brushed nickel knobs, can I hang the rustic/bronzed fixtures in the den, dr, breakfast nook? Also what color of paint would work with these fixtures but still keep the rooms looking large?

I just bought a beautiful chandelier for my little girl's (well, fetus'!!!) nursery, but when I received it, it was a lot bigger than I imagined. It seems way to big for her nursery, but I thought that buy painting the walls a certain way, I could make the room look taller and thus the chandelier, not so big. Her room colors are pink and green.

***I seem to recall that painting a color on the majority of the bottom of the wall, and then a diff. color on like 1.5 - 2 feet of the top of the wall makes it look bigger, is this right? If so, darker color on the bottom or top?***

My walls are painted white, my closet and exit door are painted red. What color bedroom set should I purchase? Since there is more white color in my room than red, I was thinking black or silver, or white furniture. What do you think?

I'm gettng my bathroom done, and want to buy in all the stuff then get different bathroom people to do all the work. I'm re-tiling all the walls and floor, putting in a new towel rail, removing the bath, and putting in a new one, replacing the shower over the bath. What order should I get things done in? Should the plumber come first etc?

after removing the carpet in the bathroom to find out why the toilet was leaking (wax ring) I found shims under my toilet. the bathroom is small 64 x 39 the floor drops approx. 1 inch from left to right. I plan on installing ceramic tile next weekend. My question is how should level this floor before laying down the tile and should I use shims? I understand the floor must be level or laying the tile is a waste of time and money. the guy at lowes advised using self leveler. the current floor is hardwood. I will greatly appreciate any info.......thanks!

I want to do some remodeling in my home and want to do most of the work myself. Trim work, build walls, etc...just general wood working but mainly how to use a saw! (Yes, I am a girl!) I living in Virginia and have searched VoTech, Trade Schools and even Home Depot and Lowe's for "how to" clinics, but I can't find any place that offers classes like this. I am too old to go back to high school and attend WOODSHOP, but that is exactly what I need. Does anyone have any suggestions?

Could any of you interior decorators please tell me the correct way to place pictures on a wall that would be most pleasing to the eye. Also if the room you want to decorate has three walls available for decorations, would you place one picture on each wall or should a room only have one major picture? Thanks in advance!

it's taking ages to get the old tiles off and it's pulling the plaster off the wall.
