I've always like Lowe's better. The service is better and it's cleaner. Plus they price match if anyone has a lower price they will beat it by 10% or match it exactly if its a sale. But I was wondering what everyone else thinks... what do people see in Home Depot?

We had a deck put on the back of our house about a month ago and the guy came to stain it today, but the stain is not taking to the deck, it has puddled in some spots and run-off in other places. The "deck guy" has never build or stained a deck before - what's happening and can i fix it? Thanks!

In my Bathroom, I want to update the tile. It's the small rough octagon shape in white w/black speckles. Grout is also white. I hate it, stays dirty. Thought about sanding it and putting a dye and sealer on it, but I dont know if this can be done. 2nd choice is replacing the grout w/black but I am back with the white tile, does anyone know if the sanding and dyeing it would work? I thought I would try this first, it would be cheap, because I have a sander and I can do it myself.. and thought I could maybe use the dye you use to dye clothes (possible?) and then just a polyurthane to seal. If I do anything else like, remove ceramic tile, this may be costly..Any suggestions?

I am buying a new home and I love this Berber carpet that I want to install. It is $2.18 sq.ft. I have 840 sq.ft to cover and the store quoted me $1500 just for the carpet alone. The complete quote was at $2511.00 for the carpet, pad and Installation. Is this a good deal for Berber?

It's a new room and I am planning to keep all the walls white except for the wall behind my bed. I can't think of any color. It's very important cause this one wall will dictate what color of furniture and accents I should have for my room. I want the room to look sophisticated but fun.My room is very simple. the bed is a queen size which is not a tall bed. It's really low. I am planning to have this corner where i could put an area rug and a low coffee table and have throw pillows as chairs. The floor will probably be wood lamination in very light shade. I am really frustrated on this one wall because everything has to blend well with it.

We have a family headstone that is probably 80 years old or better. The engraving is barely discernable. We want to darken it with something that will bring up the detail without damaging the old marble. Any ideas?

I am building my online shabby chic home decor business, and am looking for tips to add a little charm to my packages. I have a super cute invoice (not too flashy) and always wrap the items in pink tissue paper before sending them. I am looking for other tips to help make packages more memorable. Any ideas?

I am trying to get a nice indoor windowsill garden going, but have a very tight budget. So I've been saving used gallon milk jugs and Era clothes detergent containers to fashion into my 'pots'.

The problem is, these containers are very ugly. I've tried painting them with some basic craft paint I have, but it rubs right off after it dries and makes a big mess.

Any ideas on how I can decorate these plastic containers to look less cheap, classy not gaudy, and easy to do at home?

My little girl uses the room that I also want to set up as a room for guests (then she can bunk in with her teen sister if we have guests over). I was planning to buy a nice sofa bed for her room to have in there which could be opened up for guests. Then the sofa could be incorporated as part of her room (you know - a comfy place to sit and read stories). What color sofa bed should I buy? How can I decorate her room? The carpet is pale caramel and the walls cream. It is a blank canvas. She is only 1 year old but I want it to be girly/pretty - but also suitable for guests to stay in (you know - not completely covered in Disney Princesses or anything)

I'm looking for a bed frame and mattress. Anybody have some suggestions that they love? I'm a 20 year old college student, but I'm looking for something nice that will last me the next several years. Simmons? Sealey? Select Comfort? How about frame? I'm liking the contemporary designs.

Price-wise I'm looking to keep it under $1200 for both.
