Is there any type of paint gun out there that can be used with the regular thick household paint? The type of paint you purchase at a place such as Home Depot, or Lowes..

I am about to have a general contractor perform services for me (tile in kitchen, wood flooring, wallpaper removal). He told me that there is no contract to sign, and that we both can sign the proposal he has given me to act as a contract.

I trust the guy, as a trustworthy friend of mine recommended him, but what do I need to do to protect myself?

Is there a simple contract I can draw up to ask him to sign? Where can I find it?

Thank you.

Okay, so I thought I was creating a country french provencal kitchen...pale yellow walls, white ceilings, white cabinets. The accessories would be stone blue, and the window coverings, yellow and blue floral. The appliances are all stainless steel...

NOW, I've introduced terra cotta to the floors and the backsplash, with a touch of blue in the odd tile in the backsplash. It feels more mediterranean now...and I still want to get the country feel. Please help....I'm getting a little discouraged...straying from my original plan, and needing to bring the country warmth back. The ordering has all been done...so now it will have to be warmed up with accessories...Any suggestions?

Hi, I am planning on painting my kitchen cabinets white, but am unsure of what color white I should use. I hope to paint the walls a neutral off-white color also, but with sections under my chair-rail in the adjacent dining area and the soffet over my cabinets in sage. The trim will be bright white and I hope to eventually install an oak floor, tropical brown granite countertops, and I will be updating the cabinet hardware with satin nickel. The appliances will be a combo of black and stainless. Appreciate any cabinet and neutral wall color suggestions that work with this. Thanks!

I have just bought a house and some of the colors in it are awful. One room is the sun room and the other is the bathroom.

We have historic finish on our trim throughout the house. I have lines where I painted as well as specks. I have tried using steel wool and oil soap, but it takes off some of the finish as well when rubbing.

I also have floors where there are old paint specks/spots from the previous owner left on the floor and need to remove those as well.

Looking for ideas...

I'm redoing my kitchen with new cabinets and new flooring. The problem is that I have conflicting information on what should come first, lay the laminate floors down and then the cabinets.. or put the new cabinets down and then the flooring. The idea is with putting the floor down first, it will look clean under the cabinets. But I've been told if you put the flooring down first, the floor won't float and then you'll have creaking. Any thoughts? Please only people who work in that industry, no guessing with opinions...

It is a flat I live in and my hall has no windows so the only light it gets is if a door to another room is opened. I have a red carpet down and would like to know some ideas for colours to help brighten it up a bit. Any other ideas would be great too.

About 6 years ago was when i got an addition to my house and got my own room. It had peach-colored walls and all my old furniture. I need a change!!! I have a rectangular room with 2 windows on 2 of the walls and a closet on another wall.

My room isnt huge but it isn't small either. I have a computer, a full-sized bed, a tv, a vanity, and a little like 1 person couch thing I would like in here. I want to get a happy look to it but I want it to feel like a teenager's room because I am a teenager!! If it was somewhat unique it would also make me happy.

Anybody have any suggestions about where I could put furniture or what color i could paint my walls and what decorations I can do? I like being a teenager and I'd like my room to look that was... not the way it was when I was 8.

I'm trying to make my livingroom look a little more like...well...someone lives there. I only have one chair and some shelves, desk, etc. What I'm wondering is if anyone has any cheap, do-it-yourself furniture ideas. Especially seating and whatnot. I was going to just throw down a whole bunch of big pillows but I thought I'd see if anyone had any other ideas. (cheap ideas)
