I want to give an elegant look to this room.
Color of walls: White
Floor: beige carpet
Color of sofa: burgundy/green/navy blue/gold plaid print
Two sitting chairs: burgundy with very small green diamond print
Pillows: navy, burgundy, green, gold floral print
Table: wood stained in very dark navy blue
Painting: back drop is mainly navy blue
Grandfather clock: cherry wood

The dining room sits directly across from the living room and those walls are covered in a dark green wallpaper and the table and other furnishings are cherry wood. Both the living and dining rooms each have 3 large windows. The curtains in the dining room are currently white. Any advice would be very appreciated. Thank you.

I've had a roommate for quite sometime and next month I'm moving into my own place. I just realized that none of the wall treatments and/or decorative "stuff" in our apartment is mine. I already have to spend a ton on other stuff that I need, but I'm certainly going to have to get some stuff to decorate with as well. The apartment is really nice, so I don't want to just leave it with bare walls and no decorations, but I don't want to spend 1000 on that kind of stuff because I need a tv and and a whole bunch of other stuff that was my roommates at our last place. Anyone have suggestions, where to go, what to look for, creative ideas, trendy stuff???? I'm up for whatever. I'm currently thinking like pottery and vases though, stuff like that I guess.

I wanted to paint my bathroom and got all the right tools (scourer, scraper, dif, etc) to get the wallpaper off my walls and none of it worked. I googled and searched other alternatives such as fabric softner with hot water, vinegar with hot water, etc and nothing is working. I have a pretty decent sized bathroom and I am on day 3 and have only gotten maybe a 5 x 2 section done. I am so frustrtaed and fed up with this whole process and not seeing any results that now I just want to paint over it. The edges and corners are coming up so I was wondering if I pulled up what was already lifted and spackled in between the cracks of where the wallpaper sheets meet and sand down everything, including the spot where I was working and pulled up the wallpaper could I paint over it if I primed it first? I wanted to paint it a very light pastel blue and the wallpaper is not texture. Or because I've already started and pulled some off do I have to continue even though it's going to take me a month!

I have two links from PBteen.com that I would like everyone who reads this to take a look at:
http://www.pbteen.com/products/p2245/index.cfm?pkey=cgrlqls (this one's the quilt)
http://www.pbteen.com/products/p1354/index.cfm?pkey=crawram (this one's the rug)
I was wondering if you thought it might be a little too busy if I purchased both the BLUE/GREEN dottie quilt and the BLUE dottie rug (not the POOL dottie rug). Please give me your honest opinion.
Thank you in advance for your answers.

My light gray couch is infront of the wall. My accent colors are red, olive green, and espresso colored wood furniture. I can paint, but do not have the flexability to put up something permanent.

I know you people are creative... any ideas? :-)

We have a private patio in our condo but the entrance to the patio has a barred iron gate that everyone can see through when they walk by. (The rest of the patio is surrounded by a tall solid wooden fence) I want to make it more private by covering the gate with something. It needs to look nice though. Ideas?

I'm looking at purchasing a home that is 1200 square feet. It is gutted down to the studs. How much might it cost to do drywall on the home if I did it myself? And what about if I hired a general contractor? I'm just looking for a ballpark figure, any contributions will help. Thanks a lot

i have a king size canopy bed (dark wood frame), with lighting and mirrors at the "ceiling" part of the canopy, its a beautiful bed but i've had that bed for over 12 years. it now has war marks, needs one or two very minor repairs, possibly repainted/polished, and it has to be assembled by furniture people otherwise it can be a disaster if not assembled properly.

I have alot of years and memories in that bed, its beautiful when its put together but with all the work it'll take to get it fresh & "new" again, i could get a brand new bedroom set. i dont want to sell it. a part of me wants a brand new bedroom set but i'm so attached to this bed, its also "one of a kind" you dont find beds like this much anymore.

do any of you have a hard time letting go of stuff you've had for so many years? how do you get rid of that feeling?
