the tile in my bathroom is a kind of icky yellow (can't change it--renting) and I was wondering what the heck kind of colour would go well with this (for the shower curtain, bathmat etc.). I'm leaning towards blues--sort of a medium vibrant blue. Any of you decor-savvy people out there have tips? I want the bathroom to have a sort of fresh, tranquil feel to it. I already have a daisy-shaped bathmat, shaped like a blue daisy with a yellow centre.

My dad is building me a '70 chevy truck and he wants to paint it yellow. I think that yellow is way too overused and I want to paint it black with a pink stripe going across the sides. Not only that, but yellow is a very masculine color, and I want my truck to look feminine. Any color scheme ideas so I could meet in the middle with him?

We are purchasing an oversized print and will frame it eventually (it is humongous and would probably cost between $150-$200 to frame). Any ideas on how we can hang it in the meantime without thumbtacks so that it looks nice? Thanks in advance!

I have some drawers in my kitchen which have glass fronts for display purposes. Right now they have colored pasta and beans and peas in them which need to be replaced. I'm not thrilled with the look, and would like to think of something else to put in the sections for display. These are about 15" by 10" fronts, and the display space behind the glass is about 1" deep. The drawers themselves are quite deep, so I need to think of something that is relatively lightweight to display. I thought of the glass marbles for color, but that would be too heavy. Thanks for your suggestions.

I have this great place with lots of space, real hardwood floors, patio garden, big kitchen, well, lots of stuff and it doesn't feel good to me. I loved it when I was looking at it and I couldn't wait to decorate, now I'm missing my tiny old place. My bed doesn't feel right in the room, I know this is crazy, but I was sleeping N to S before and now I have to sleep E to W and I hate it. I feel uncomfortable, and I can't find the will to unpack. Is there something wrong with me or is this normal?

I am repainting my bedroom to a creamy ivory color with chocolate accents and the closets are painted white inside (they are pretty dirty as the house is over 50 years old, so they need painting anyway). Should I repaint them white or should I repaint them with the wall color?

Secondly, I have 2 closets in my room, one large one that has hanging bars and one small one that I'm installing shelving in. Should I paint both the same color? Again, just a fresh coat of white or the ivory color?

Thanks for your advice!

I'm going to be moving in to a new house and I'm getting the biggest bedroom. I need some tips on how to design it. I want it kind of futuristic so I want bubble everywhere. My favorite colors are pink and white so I want white walls with pink accessories. I was thinking of making all the bubble pink. I was also planning on having a bunch of circular tubes as storage. Any tips on anything??

In our townhome the floor plan is very open and I am looking to add some color to our living room/dining room/kitchen. I plan on painting the walls a creamy taupe color and our couch is sage green and so is our curtains in the living room. I am looking for a good accent wall color, I was thinking maybe a nice deep red on the wall of the windows with the sage green curtains and then across the room in the dining room maybe a light sage green on one wall. Would this look bad? If anyone thinks this would looks bad, suggestions would be great.
