I think that it is made of alderwood. It came with a Amercian Standard sink that I purchased. Nothing in the box about it's care, or store.

A question to help a friend of mine. He's an interior decorator and has problems removing paint from his hands, specially round his nails. Even white spirit does not seem to help remove all of the paint. Can anybody else recommend another home remedy that won't burn the skin from his hands.
best answer get him/herself 10 points.

I'm building a set for a photo shoot and I want the walls to have a derelict feel - peeling paint and damaged walls. How can I get a quick damaged affect on the paint?

Please keep in mind that any changes made cannot be permanent, since I rent. I'd also like ideas for creating more storage space, if possible. Thanks in advance!

I am trying to find the stainless steel film.To go over a dishwasher.I saw it on one of the shows on HGTV.It is a peel and stick film.When applied to the surface of an appliance it makes it look like a stainless steel appliance.Does anyone know if you can get it at Home depot or Lowes? If not does anyone know if someplace in or around the Jacksonville,Florda area that sells it. I would prefer to get it locally than over the net.

My husband and I just bought an older home. However the entire house is filled with 1960's decor including a lime green tub, sink, and toilet. (I didn't even know they made those!) How expensive and how hard would it be to replace everything? Is there anyway to paint or stain these materials different colors maybe? They're all fiberglass materials.

Anyone know any websites that will give directions on how to install a built-in dishwasher and what we will need to buy to do it, we are not currently set up for a dishwasher, have never had one. So we are starting from scratch here.

Im in eigth grade and my parents are having our basement finished for me and my 2 sisters. I think it would be awsome to do an Alice in Wonderland theme! I want to give the room a sort of puck edge too. Any ideas.

(my sisters friend is a really good artist and she offered to graffieti/sp/ a wall, she could probably do any other painting we need too.)

Thank you :)

I have a ranch style home that was built in 1958. The bathroom is all original pink 4" x 4" wall tile, and ugly pink floor tile. We have read that we could just get a hammer and begin smashing until all the wall tiles are removed, and also do the same for the floors after the toilet has been removed. O.k., given that there will be a whole load of mess to clean up....what do we do next? The wall tiles emcompass the full permiter of the room and go up the wall roughly 4 1/2 feet. The upper portion of the wall is old drywall. If we remove all the tiles, will we able to use the base underneath the tiles to set new tiles. Or, if that is not an option, do we need to purchase new backerboard or greenboard and put it in place first. The same rings true for the flooring. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. If there is a less expensive do-it-yourself route to refinish the tiles, those suggestions would also be helpful and appreciated.

I have a wooden pine table that has been painted blue, and now a country red. I would like to spray paint it black now, but I am thinking this is probably too many layers of paint. Would it be better if I sanded (tons of work!) it, or is there something I can put on it to help scrape the paint off? Thanks in advance! for for the tips.

Typically home listings list full and half baths, but does a bathroom have to have a bathtub to be considered a full bath, and some have a bathtub and shower. Is that a 1 1/2 bath? :)

i suppose that first impressions count a lot; i have heard that people have made up their minds as they walk down your path, so i guess that little things like the colour of the door could swing it!
