Since it is a condo I dont have to worry about yard stuff. Primarily I want to know kitchen things you really do use (I lived in a dorm through all of college so I couldn't really have any kitchen gadgets). I also would like to know what other objects do you wish you had when you first moved out.

Which wall in a room should I use for the accent color? It is for several rooms in my new house where most of the living areas are open to each other. I want it to pop with the colors but they need to flow smoothly from room to room. The main color of all the walls is a very light creamy honey. I want to put a shade of purple in the dining room, a chocolate in the library, an apricot in the breakfast nook/kithchen, burgundy in the great room and navy in the bedroom (match the comforter pattern color). Will that work or is it too choppy?

I am buying a lacy comforter set. They have two colors, white and ivory. Should I buy the ivory set with white sheets and white pillows, or should I buy the white set with ivory sheets and ivory pillows? They also have a valance in white or ivory, argh, I hate decisions...

I am remodeling a bathroom and have picked out bisque fixtures & a furniture-style vanity. I'm trying to decide what type of faucet matches well--there are so many choices out there! I also want a faucet finish that is easy to clean and keep clean. Can anybody recommend anything? Thanks for the help!

I am not color phobic just color nieve. I just can't manage to make up my find. My walls are currently White (satin finish) I have silver gray carpet. I want a color to warm my home. In my master bath I actually took the plunge and painted the walls a color from the Behr collecton (Desert Floor). I love it!!!
I would like to go forth with the rest of my home. I am having a hard time narrowing my choses down. My accent colors in my home are rich wine/burgundy, deep golden yellow, burnt orange. I wanted to look at either a behr paint or sherman williams. What do you think about Sherman Williams Ivorie? My issue is with this gray carpet. I need something that will compliment it and not fight against it. Thanks for the help.

I have a space problem in a rental home. The kitchen is also the laundry. Short of building a wall, what other ideas could be used to divide the space?

I've never heard of it before- but I would be more interested in dying the upholstery to the sofa if possible.

I have a Hoover steam cleaner with and upholstery attachment that normally does a GREAT job, but this sofa is nearly white. With a mechanic for a husband and 4 cats, it just isn't working but the couch itself is in good shape and I can't afford to pay someone to reupholster it or buy a new one. I've also tried every cleaner possible, and even if there was something out there that would work the maintenance is just way to much to keep up with in my household!

I already have spent quite a bit on several different sofa covers- nice name brand ones too, Unfortunately I really really don't like them because the shape of the sofa. None of them look right at ALL and ALL of them, even when they claim they shouldn't, just slip all over the place and look even worse!

Does anyone know if there is a dye that I could use to darken up the entire sofa so stains won't look as bad

I know this is a major money maker for retailers, which makes me wonder if it's worth it. The fabric is microfiber, which is naturally easy to clean.

Im 14 years old and we're moving into a new house so i need to pick the colours of my bedroom. I dont want pink. My favourite colour is teal but im not sure if i want my room that colour. I want deep, bold, statement colours. Im only going to paint one wall a bright colour and keep the rest neutral. But i dont want a really mechanical room where EVERYTHING is red or blue or green, i want accent colours too but i just cant decide. Does anyone have any interesting colour coordinations that i could use? I spend alot of time in my bedroom and have solid wood (light) furniture, with wooden floors. Thanx

we're having a gymnastics banquet in a couple of months, but we need to think of a theme! we want to do somewhat of a colored theme, as it looks better for group pictures. we were deciding on a pink/black theme, but we can't think of a name to put on it.

for example: one idea we had was 'orange you glad to be a giant' ['giants' being the name of our gym]

any ideas for the color pink?!

I don't want yellow or purple or pink. I like light blue but it'll look too ordinary. Like everyone paints their room blue. When I go into my room I want it to feel like I'm on vacation or somewhere entirely different.
