right now i have carpet and it IS NOT working. i have five big dogs and the carpet is cream; im sure you have a visual now. i watch hgtv alot and id heard about cork. however evrything ive read says that its not very scratch res. or very durable for high traffic ( i.e. big dogs and me- im in a wheelchair that weighs 400 lbs.) so is that true? from your experience is cork the best or should i look for something else? my 2nd choice would be porcelein tile or mabey vynal. i dont know. what would be my best option as far as durability and scratches? thanks alot.

I am purchasing a house built in 1915. It has an unfinished basement, an unfinished attic, and no central air or ducts. I plan on having central air installed and was wondering if the fact that my basement and attic is unfinished would make it easier to install central air/ducts?

What are your thoughts about ceiling fans? Are they tacky? Do they make a home's decor look bad? Seems like those home decorating shows on tv always remove ceiling fans. Does that mean that ceiling fans are outdated and not trendy?

Thanks for your thoughts...

I'm looking for a wall-size closet door that pops open with a gentle push through a magnetic device, and the hinges don't show on the outside. I saw it at a friend's house (who sold the house and don't know it's name). The closet looks like the wall from the outside until you push the "wall door" open. Anyone know the name or where to find it?

I have searched high and low, I can NOT find a futon or a sofa bed that is full size and HAS ALREADY THE MATTRESS and all that other crap (i sorry for the language, it's 3:30 a.m. and I have searched over 20 online stores and 5 local furniture stores, im frustrated)

I cant find one for under $350....The max I could go is $375...i am on a budget..cuz i have to buy other things as well as paint and dressers an so on. PLEASE SOMEONE help, do you know of any place that I can shop for for cheap yet good sofa beds??

If its online, pleaseeeee dont let the shipping to be $100...cuz i saw a site with a perfect sofa bed but in the checkout the shipping was $100..so that put me waaay over budget.

THANK YOU SO MUCH!!
