White walls (of .course) and one wall is panelling. I am not allowed to paint. I have dark brown rugs and two green couches. There is a window approximately 6 ft long and 3 feet high. The apartment is semi underground. Any suggestions would be a HUGE help!! Keep the ideas coming

It's for a livingroom. The furniture is a sage green color and casual material. The carpet is a medium grey color. The curtains are choclate brown/cream, but can easily be changed if you'd like to make a suggestion. Also, everything is a solid, would a print help break it up? I want to keep a warm, casual, but put-together look. Thanks to every and anyone who takes the time to answer. You're opinion is greatly appreciated as I am challenged in this area!

Well, about a paint shob i need to know how much should i charge by room (each room is, walls, frame, door and baseport) Plus: walls going to be not white, so that means that i have to cut in angle with ceiling.

Thanks all!

I am about to get carpet laid in bedroom but have noticed 2 of the floor boards are slightly rotten (probably no more than a 15cm length) Is it ok to carpet over this , as it will be covered by a wardrobe?

I need new kitchen cabinets, and I don't like the ones I've seen at Home Depot or Lowes. Someone told me catalogs are a great place to get better cabinets at a good price. I'd love to hear some suggestions from people who know cabinets.

I live in a some-what small apartment. The hall is not large enough to display my two poster-sized black and white travel photos. I also have some family pictures that are in black and white. So I was thinking about a wall with all black and white photos. My couch & loveseat are black leather, black coffee and end tables with a red accent rug (i am wiling to get a new, different color rug).

My question is what color would go well with what i just described....or any color at all?...or maybe I'll paint the wall the couch is on and leave the photo wall white (but that seems to make the two compete for the eye).....

Your thoughts????????? Thanks!!!

I want to purchase a good leather sofa that could last me years, and I have no kids to get it marked up. It does have a lot of workmanship on it, and I want to ask you all is this too much or not worth it?

I don't want to go less as I have seen sofas cheaper get scratched up, or marks on it. Your thoughts.

They are connected so the colors will need to be complementary. My comforter set is brownish toupe with red and green embroidery. LOL, it sounds really gross from this description but its not. It's sort of "fancy", I guess, although it looks fine in my typical teenage room. However, the walls are all brown, which doesn't look so great with my bedding. It's like an explosion of one color of brown. Anyway, I'd like to repaint and want some color suggestions. Can anyone help? Thanks!

Is it ok to wait lets say two days between priming a wall and painting? I thought i would have a project i started last nite finished today but it looks like we wont finish priming until tonight. We will start painting tomorrow. I read primer cures and then you cant paint on top of it b/c it becomes like glass? Is that true and how long does it usually take? The Kilz website said 14 days but im just making sure. The walls are a navy blue and we are using Kilz Primer to prime and then will paint with Behr Pecan Glaze.

Ugh!!! Ok, after this I am SO suing Home Depot for providing false color samples :( K, so I tried 2 get the right colors 4 my room, and I did, according 2 the color samples. Now that the colors are on my wall, it looks like my room belongs 2 a 3yr old! I mean, It looks like one of those cheesy sets from 'Barney and Friends'. Seriously!! I got these AWESOME color samples and what they called 'the right colors' and put them on the walls, and now the orange looks like a bright yellow, and the light orange looks like a neon color or something! Its awful! The only living organism able to look at that room and not burst out laughing is Big Bird! It's ridiculous!

WHAAAAA I TRIED 2 MAKE MY ROOM LOOK GOOD FOR ONCE AND IT TURNED OUT ONLY BEING COOL FOR STUPID BIG BIRD!!

WHAAAAAA

MY RENTS ACTUALLY THINK THE COLORS ARE GOOD

WHY DIDN"T I JUST LEAVE IT WHITE?!?

WHAT DO I DO NOW??

Okay, there is a metal ring with cardboard strips and each strip will have several hues of a similar color. I want to buy one to look at colors but I cannot figure out what they are called. Does each paint supplier have a different one of these? Is there anywhere on the internet where I can order one?
