I don't need anything in-depth, like high gloss or anything. Just if anyone has an estimate of how much it will cost. I want to know before I drive all the way over there, if you know what I mean.

I went to buy some lumber and I told them that I need some 1 x12s and some 2 x4s. The lumber measured 3/4 x11 1/2 and 1 1/2 x 3 1/2. If we are paying for something, that is what we should get. I feel that we are being charged for stuff that we aren't getting. Do you agree?

There is one full size window in the bedroom and the walls are colored similar to the bed in the photo's attached. The living room is white and navy blue and the bedroom is right off the living room. I'd like to keep a co-hesive color theme running through the apartment. Which if any of the bedding do you like? Do you have an alternative idea? Important, the apartment will be occupied by my 23 year old son.

I know powder room is a very old term but that is what my papaw calls it so.... Anyways right now my bathroom and powder room are bright yellow the bathroom is done in a rubber ducky theme. The floor is white lanolium with like tan lines breaking it into a tile look. The powder room like i said is also bright yellow there is a walk in closet in there and a pine -medium brown- wood dresser. Also the ceilings are only about 6 feet 2 in. because this is in a basement of an old house if that matters...I have no idea what color to paint them. I would love to keep a relaxed maybe make you feel like you are sitting by the ocean but also neutral color feel. I have a shower curtain that is light bluish turquise with tan and yellow all stripes. Any help is appreciated. Thank you!

My den is white right now but I plan to update it. I will have a "forest" green couch with a light beige trim. There is an oak fireplace and an oak table and chairs (I basically live downstairs so I put an old kitchen table in here so I could eat down here as well) and a papasan chair with a dark brown wood base and the cushion is gold. I have no idea what color to paint the walls in here so any help would be appreciated.

I think cords are unsightly! I wish electricity was wireless too, but since that's not an option yet what do you do to hide unsightly cords? Does your iron cord bother you? How do you store extension cords or things with cords? Does anyone use those cord clips, and if so do you like them?

Okay I am doing an interior design projects with school.
Basically I have to redesign a room in my home.
I am wanting to put in a new fireplace and one with a real flame.
At the moment we have just an electric fire.
Could a fire with a real flame be put in?
If not what could be put in instead that looked traditional as the house is victorian.

Also how do i go about getting rid of the old fireplace and reinstalling a new one!

Thanks

Is it hard to take care of? Does it damage easily? Will it last long?

I was in an old abandoned building today and came across this couch.

http://i158.photobucket.com/albums/t93/seanblanton/couch.jpg

it's in a place where I cannot remove it. It is not a sofabed. it's very lightweight, maybe only 30 pounds, and the top cushions are mearly pushed under those top braces. I would kill for a couch like this, but can't find anything looking even remotely like it. Does anybody know where I can get one! (especially those awesome cushions!)
