we recently moved into a new home that has hardwood floors. I would love to keep the hardwood floors instead of laying down carpet, the person who lived here before said that the old lady who lived here before had cats, and there was poop and pee smells all over the carpet so he removed the carpet, but underneath, there are stains and blackspots all over the place? How do I repair them and if I can't repair them, can I use a darker stainer over the already stained floor, to cover up the spots, or will I have to sand it all down and completely start out fresh?

I bought a new doublewide a few years ago, and one thing that caused me to buy this paticular one was the cabnits. Yes they are cheap partical bord, but they were a really light color, I really liked them. The thing is now I hate them. Everytime grease or my daughters messy hadns touch them, they automatically leave a mark. I've tried dishwashing liquid and things like that, but nothing works. I'm probably going to have to paint them, but I just wanted to know before I did if anyone can think of anything I could use to try to get it off?

Yesterday, my brand new refrigerator that a ordered was delivered and installed in my house and it is built in. We set the refrigerator to 37 degrees F and the freezer to 0 degrees F. Then this morning we checked and they are both at the right temperature, but the only thing is, is that there are three buttons on the inside of the refrigerator that say door open, over temperature and call services. When we open the door, the door open alarm (tiny little blue light turns on, kind of like a sensor) doesnt turn on. We are wondering if we should press the reset button next to it, but we are scared something might happen to it and we dont know if we should just press i or hold it. Please, anyone with some knowledge on this please help us!!! Thank you for your help!!!

I have pale sage green walls, with white wood furniture. What colors would be good to use in my comforter and curtains? I'm fairly simple, and don't like things that are too loud and bold. Currently I have a white (stained) carpet, and would like to get a new one. What colors would not stain easily, but also not be overwhelming? Also, if anyone knows any good places to find good, large selection of comforters, that would be great! Thank you so much!

Trying to redecorate my bedroom after 25 years. (I know, I know...) It is currently beige. Beige rugs and beige walls with a well loved Lands End reddish/maroon comforter that matches nothing. Perfect weight though. I think I'd like to paint it blue or a calm green. I am going nuts trying to find a comforter set or a duvet set. It would be nice to have new curtains too as they are beige, and I am so ready to do this. I will not put up wall paper as I have taken too much down and swore that there would be no more. Do you have any great ideas? I have looked at stores, sites, magazines and this just won't come together for me. I need help. Thanks PS Consdiering the comforter at

I don't want to do do too much, it's a council property due to be done up, hopefully including redecorating next year, so I just want a quick fix for now. I just want to make the walls look better unless you look too close if you know what I mean! There are dents and bumps all over, including I think old bits of badly (un)removed wallpaper, all painted over.

Well, i hav this really cool idea, where i painted every wall (i have 4 walls) a different color, but contrasting colors. Also, I'm only 13, so i can do this kind of thing. My mom wont let y designs get too.....funky. so i have another idea thats not AS "funky". for one of my walls, the base color will be light purple, and it would have dark purple and white polka dots. Another wall is gonna be light blue with dark blue swirls I dont have any designs for my other 2 walls, and i only have one color (green). Can anyone think of designs that would look cool on green, and another color contrasting w/purple, green, and blue ? PLEASE!?!?!?!?!?

I want to paint my kids rooms in different color. Right now their rooms have white flat paint. What do I need to do to prepare walls for re-painting them ? Do I have to use primer? Do I need to sand them? Or just paint?
In kids bathroom, which I'm planning to paint too, paint is glossy. I have no idea if it's oil or latex. I want paint to be glossy in the bathroom, I just want to change color. What do I do to achieve good result?

I am trying to think of something unique for my nephew. His mother told me that he's into Pokemon, but everyone else is getting Pokemon toys so I want to give him something different. He would probably like most things that boys his age are into, but again, I am looking for something a little bit different so he has some variety in his toys!!

I was thinking of maybe a craft set of some kind, he likes making things..
I also was thinking of a book that he could fill in about himself.. Does something like that even exist?


Any comments on those two ideas plus your own ideas are very much appreciated!!!

I like my surroundings to be constantly changing, the same stuff everyday makes me bored! What can I do without changing anything major? I.e- painting, new furniture, lots of money...? I'm a graphic designer so I am open to crazy stuff!
