We have a small bathroom that constantly has water/moisture running down the walls causing lines/marks on the paint that have to be wiped off every time someone showers. Plus, our central air unit was placed in the attic over this bathroom. What causes this? Is there some kind of treatment for the walls that will help?

We are having our hardwood floors refinished. Any personal opinions whether to use a water-based finish versus an oil based polyurethane? Concerns are durability and scratch resistance, yellowing with age, and lingering odor after application.

We have a 1920's style Tudor colonial w/stucco that desperately needs new windows and a paint job. We are trying to figure out what kind of windows to put in that would keep the home's style, without breaking the entire bank, we aren't necessarily looking for the "cheapest" option. We have seen a couple of different window companies, renewal by anderson, trimline and alside were ones that we have all seen and have estimates for all 3. Anyone have any opinions either way on any of the three companies we have listed below.

Thanks!

In my new house there is a cubbyhole over the fireplace designed for a television. However, I am not planning on putting a T.V. there and was wondering what should I do with it. I am not crazy about the idea of just putting decorative stuff in it, but I figure just having a contractor cover it would be a waste. Any other ideas?

I want to get a builder in to knock down the wall between our lounge and dining room. Can anyone tell me if the whole dividing wall can go or do you need to leave a very small bit of the wall at each edge? The reason I want to know is that once the two rooms are one there will be an expanse of wall between the fireplace in what was the dining room and the fireplace that was in the lounge. I want to put a big free standing sideboard in this space but cant if there is still a bit of the wall sticking out.

The house is a beautiful Georgian terraced ground floor flat (actually a maisonette - bought for £250K last year). We have a fair-sized garden (about 42sq.m.), but only half of it gets the sun. The part of the garden next to the house is not dark, but does not get direct sunlight until the evening. Essentially, we do not use that bit of garden for anything. We have thought of adding a conservatory, which will measure about 7m x 2.5m. We appreciate the need to get it done properly, and expect to spend around £15K to £20K. Is it worth it? We don't think we'll be there for very long. It is more of an investment property than anything else. Any advice?

When people tile a floor it says you are suppose to start with the full piece right in the center of the room. Which doesn’t make since? Why not use the most visible wall start from there and go over so the wall has a full piece and that way you don't have to cut on both walls only one. If you start from the center you usually have to cut tile for both sides. I don't say because of none straight walls, this is assuming the wall you start with is straight

We have light sage green upper walls---lower part of walls and cabinets are white---floor is a natural looking stone color (not real light though--more tanish) tile with the countertop the small matching tile. I need to know if I should go with a white sink and white appliances or my hubby says to go with black appliances and ???sink. We currently have a stainless steel sink and not sure we want to go with that again. Need suggestions of people who can "visualize" this and help. Thanks
