Decorating & Remodeling - June 2007

This is not a typical painting company where the customer picks the colors and the painter paints them. This is an interior decorating and design company who paints, remodels and decorates on a budget. We paint, change door knobs, light fixtures, stain discolored grout, stage various decorative items, landscaping etc. Basically any type of cosmetic upgrade you can think of to increase curb appeal and 'update' houses inside and out.

Most of our business has been from realtors with houses in need of a fresh look.

Thanks,
Luciane

I have my heart set on this door that has a glass panes from top to bottom. They are panes set in the door so you can look outside even if you are sitting in a chair. It has a brass handle and looks nice. Its made by I think master brand.
My house is really un level and very old. I want to know how hard it is to install a new door in a very old house that is not level?
How do I get a reputable contractor to put it in?

Okay, well im redecorating my bedroom. I have an Idea of what i'd like to do. But one of my main focuses are the tops of my dresser, armoire, and night tables. (things to put on them) I'd like a classic, clean cut, girlie looks, with a lot of white, and silver things. Some things i have thought about putting on my dressers and things are: white candles, clear glass vase with white flowers, shiny silver trays to display perfume, and prehaps a neck manniquin display to put pearls on. Im wondering where to buy stuff to get my idea to come to life, here are some pics (elements) of what i want the tops of my dresser, and armoire, and night tables to look like.

i want flowers like this, don't know what they are called, and i love white tulips

I'm 14 years old and it's going to be farm and country themed. At first I wanted to paint it River Valley which is like a gray(grey(not sure which way it's spelled) but with a tint of blue. But now I'm having second thought on that color. I'm not going for anything outrageous like barn red, but any suggestions of colors or good ideas I can do to go along with my room( like farm, barn, country, farm animal) it would be appreciated!! Thanx!

I have a wood chair and some wood tables and I want to paint them a certain color to match a room. I am a professional auto painter and would like to spray the finish. I would also like to clear coat afterwards. I have them sanded and primed. What I am looking to do is something like the black laquer look, but not black. I want a paint that will look good when sprayed, not a latex. I can paint them in a booth so I can spary anything. What are my best choices for paint, and where can I find these paints? I went to Home Depot and they didn't have anything there. I tried finding some paint stores around my house, but could only locate Sherwin Williams.

How do you pick one? I don't want a real bright green, nor a dark gray green, but here are still at least a hundred to choose from. I'd rather not spend the money on buying multiple samples and I want to get started. The on line color painter systems don't have true colors.Help!

For those who have or have had a whirlpool tub only please. What kind so you have? Do you like it? Are they hard to keep clean? Expensive to run? Trying to decide whether to get one or a big tub without the jets.
Thanks

The house we are considering has a formal dining room and we don't feel the need to have a formal dining area. What else can we do with that area? It is not closed in. It is open on 2 sides and the other 2 sides are walls. It is to the right as you walk in the main entrance of the house. Thanks, we're open to any suggestions.

My hubby and I have VERY different styles when it comes to decor. We are very happy and have been married 12 years. We will be moving soon, and would like to sort of re-do our look to incorporate his minimalist taste with my eclectic nature. (Our look right now is no style at all, just some stuff we got over the years) I would like ACTUAL experience from couples who have managed to "marry" their styles, and how they did that. Please don't refer me to "Designing for the sexes" or websites with similar content, as we have a very limited budget, and just want to each show our style without a huge investment. Creativity is a plus!!

I'm looking for some type of new flooring in my home. right now it is all carpet and needs an update. Should I go with new carpet? or tile? or wood? Is one easier to keep new looking than the other? There are five adults living in the home but we have friends with children visit often.

My closet is pink. I don't want to re-paint the whole thing. But I am bored and wanted to paint it. And cause I have a lot of paint cans in my basement. What do you think I could do with it? Like splatter paint or what?

Any ideas will help.

The bucket was in the garage of a man who used to work for the railroad in the 1940's. It is galvanized and very old. I was going to use it as a planter until I saw the stamping on it. Just curious if anyone knows about it.
