Decorating & Remodeling - August 2007

My daughter (5)and my step-daughter (6) share a bedroom. It's about 12 x 15. Now they have a loft bed with a twin frame underneath. I HATE climbing up there and changing the sheets, it's next to impossible. We'd like to do two twin beds, but then where could we put their toys? All thoughts are greatly appreciated!

My confusion comes from what to do with my floors.I rent a 2 bedroom side of a duplex and I want to do the shabby chic thing.The problem is I have hunter green carpet which sticks out like a sore thumb when i try to think of everything white/pink or cream.So what is a cheap flooring solution because my landlord said I could take it up BUT she couldnt replace it that I would have to.I know I could use a rug but its a good size room.So any suggestions would be appreciated.Under the carpet plain ole concrete slab.Thank you.Or how could I tie in hunter green?

It is a 10.82 m2 bedroom,
all my things are wooden and the room has two windows but is not very well lighted.
I love purple and pink but not pale ones...Does it become too dark if i paint it dark purple or pink?
i also like using combinations of different colors do you have any suggestion?

I cant decide what to do with my bright colored room. I am young and love the bright colors but i think i might have to tone it down a bit? I was thinking doing the wall behind my bed a "sage" color? what ideas do you guys have?? The carpet is grey and id prefer to stay away from grey b/c the rest of the house is that color.

heres a picture...

We put crown molding up and the person who did it used silicone caulk on the edges and joints. I need a paint which will adhere as a base primer so we can paint the trim the color we want.

I hired a contractor to reconstruct my house. After he finished he threw all of the construction sand onto my front yard grass, covering all the junk he had left there such as glass, wood, etc. After I asked him why he would do such a thing, he said its no big deal, just add top soil to it and it will be fine. Isn't a contractor obligated to fix anything that he has damaged, and wasn't paid to fix it. Is there someone I can call so I can show them it proves as a health hazard?

My house was built in the 70's and my bathtub is one of those fiberglass one piece units. The worst thing is that it's peach in color and has hard water stains corroded on the bottom. I can't do the bathfitter deal because it's not two pieces. I was told that you would have to take the wall out in order to remove it but then someone else told me they could just cut it and take it out that way. I would just like to replace it with a basic white or ivory tub system with some shelving inside. Thanks to all who answer!

Do I have to paint a wall white before painting it?

My wall is regular violet/purple now, and i want to paint it regular green. Should I paint my wall white first before painting it green, or should i just paint with green right away.

Thanks.
