We have a 10' x 20' deck that faces west and gets HOT (Colorado). Would it be less expensive to get a retractable fabric awning or have someone build a wood lattice roof?

My bedroom is very broing. The walls are white, but I am painting them light blue soon. After I paint the walls, I want to do some simple decorating on the walls. I want these to be fun, simple, creative, and HOMEMADE; but still look nice. I like the colors light blue, light pink, light purple, and light green. Please also keep in mind that I am 14.
Thank you! ♥ Emily

We can't afford to fix the ceiling before the graduation party, as this was completely unexpected. What can we do to hide the problem? (about a square foot of the ceiling came down and it isn't very pretty).

If you want to build a house - rather than just buy one already built - how do you go about doing so? What are the steps?

Do you have to have the money upfront or are there loans?

I'm buying a new build home and I'm trying to establish whether the builder is ripping me off for their pricing of recessed spotlights. Obviously, I expect to pay more buying directly from the builder however it is also more convenient.

I would be looking for the following:

5 spotlights in kitchen
5 spotlights in bathroom
6 spotlights in main bedroom (This is in the roof)

I'd appreciate any advice. Cheers.

ok, so we had this huge, heavy entertainment center made of compressed wood (pressed wood? not sure what its called...its like particle board but not quite)...anyways instead of getting rid of it we cut it up and turned it into a much smaller tv stand. however our problem is this: because we had to cut it in different shapes not all the edges are finished. the finished surfaces of the material are dark brown resembling wood grain. we're wondering what we can do to these unfinished edges to make them look nice! brown paint would just look tooooo tacky. any ideas?

I have a large bay window and I have no idea how to decorate it with window treatments. The window is in the main living room so it needs to be comfortable and not too formally decorated. There is a ledge that was designed for people to sit in, but currently it is not used for that. I would like to keep the window's sitting feature, but at the same time dress the window so it does not look so plain.

I am trying to help my mom find new window treatments for her home. Living in a small town, we are trying to find a few good web sites to buy well made curtains that do not cost an arm & leg.
We have tried ebay, but it was to time consumeing for what little we found to suit her needs.
One example, is that we are doing her kitchen in the red, white & chrome 50's look and then "trying" to find a way to tie in the the French Country design she wants for the rest of the house.
Any ideas or suggestions are so very greatly appreciated & valued!!!

Thank you!

My husband and I are trying to do small renovations in our first house we bought in Williamsburg, VA. We have noticed that the first floor ceiling is low, which is emphasized by an odd patterned stucco or popcorn material. There is a nice looking fan (not cheap) in our living area, and since we are looking to sell in 3 years, we are wondering if it would be more beneficial to keep the fan even though it accentuates the low ceilings, or get rid of it and install a simpler light fixture?
