Decorating & Remodeling - July 2007

I'm going to buy my boyfriend sheets and he wants silk, but I don't have the money for them. I searched online and when I looked for Silk, it brought up Satin... Satin is cheaper than Silk, I just need to know if it will feel the same.

The cabinets and appliances are now white as well as the floor that is white with small greish/black squares in the center of the tiles. The wall was painted in a beige color.

Trying to decide the color of hardwood to use for our new home. We are putting hardwood throughout from Kitchen (light cream cabinets with chocolate glaze) dining, and greatroom through the bedrooms. The only exception being the two baths and utility, where we will use tile. I like the hand sculpted dark hardwood, but some have suggested the new "tiger eye" wood flooring. Any other suggestions?

I need to fix up untreated drywall walls in the house and prep them for painting. How do I go about filling in holes and cracks in the wall? Especially the external corners where it seems there are cracks along what I guess is the corner joint tape beneath? Do I have to sand it down or remover them completely and start over?

Thanks for your help!

I bought this mattress b/c it was very comfortable only to get it home and then realize none of my sheets fit b/c it is a much thincker mattress. I know I can buy deep pocket sheets but they are very expensive and i would have to buy them seperate from a comforter set which also makes me mad. Anyone out there know of a website that sells deep pocket sheet with comforter sets or do you knwo if any other options? I wasn't very well informed (my sales guy didn't do a very good job) when i bought the mattress, I wanted to take it back but it is illlegl to resell a mattress. I will never, by the way, buy a mattress form mattress discounters again !!!!!!!!!!

I live in an older home and the walls are plaster. Everytime I hang a picure or anything the nail pulls right back out. I've tried mollys and sticky tabs but nothing seems to work. Are there any really good sticky tabs or any other options? I appreciate it!

My decor is cabin-lodge style. It is a swag lamp with a plain white fabric over plastic shade.

Thanks for any ideas given!

I'm new at arranging flowers, and I use the green wet sponges in the vase to secure my flowers in place. Problem: If my flowers are too heavy (like lilies) or I've changed my mind about the placement of other flowers (made holes that are now empty) the sponge literally disintigrates. Of course, this ruins the arrangement when my flowers fall all over the place and I end up starting all over. Isn't there a better way to hold my flowers up in wet bricks?

P.S. I give 90% of my creations away. Frogs are too expensive to give away.

I have a very small 1 bedroom house right now. I need to add on a small bedroom for my son. It will only be about 8X8 with a small closet. We have no basement, so that won't be an issue. Any guesses on how much this might cost? I know, I will have to call a contractor sooner or later, I'm just trying to get some figures.

It already has 3 walls would just need to put up a fourth wall about 12 feet with a door and construct a closet in the room. Also move a light switch next to the new door.
