I'm looking to decorate and add a little color to our small apartment, but have almost no money to spend on this. I like crafts, and know a little about sewing, knitting and cross-stitch (but don't know how to crochet yet). Any ideas about some do-it-yourself decorating? Our walls are off-white, and the only color we really have are the light and dark blues and greens of our tea towels and placemats, and flags hanging in the doorways to separate the rooms. Thanks for your help!

I am trying to buy a sink for use with a bathroom vanity but don't know what kind to get. The descriptions for sinks all look the same but the prices vary widely. What is a self-rimming sink? What kind of sink would I need to get to go with a regular bathroom vanity?

Okay i'm down to 2 different granites. Absolute black - pretty shiny black. Or and I'm not sure of the name of this one its a blackish-grey with tan and bluish grey specks in it.

Right now appliances are white but at some point I would like to get stainless. Probably not until I get my taxes back though. Walls will possibly be dapper tan. I'm not comitted to any color yet. I did think about a sage or celery green also if I go with the black. I am so undecided.
I love them both.

Hi there,

I have a 8'1 x 8'7' room and would like to fit a small double bed and a small wardrobe. Do you think it might be possible. I am looking for a slim wardrobe. Does anyone have any ideas where to get slimline wardrobe for a few pieces of clothes and a small double bed and what I can do to make it look spacious? I am decorating for my Brother who has just come out of the hospital and want to make it special for him.

I will really appreciate if anyone can advice me on where I can buy a small wardrobe and bed. Be great if it is cheap as well.

Thank you!

I'm moving into my dorm for the first time, and I'm still getting things together before I leave. I'm wanting to decorate in cozy, relaxing, warm colors. My new bedding is: a white Nautica comforter, deep red sheets, and deep red & white silky pillowcases. What colors would compliment the red. I've heard green, but does anyone know what shades of green would work? Any other suggestions would be welcomed!
Thanks!

The home had a leak in the roof and the ac was off causing mold to spread throughout the house. I plan on tearing down the sheetrock from the ceilings and walls with mold on them.

I have all of the safety equipment but am not sure of the best solution to use on the mold. I have seen so many different kinds and would like to know what works best.

Any suggestions??

I moved into a75-yr-old bungalow that I love, all except the kitchen. This was my grandparents' home until they passed away, and then a rental property for several decades. The kitchen is very large, with counters,cabinets & appliances in a 'U' shape at the far end, and a large space for a table where you enter into it from the dining and family room. My mother had custom cabinets done by a novice carpenter 20 yrs ago. They're honey oak, but just okay in quality. I'd love to replace them, but it's not in the budget yet. The appliances are at least new & black. Countertops, flooring & walls are dingy shades of beige. There's a set of small windows over the sink that let in the only natural light in the room. There was once a screened porch off the back kitchen door, & a third window in the kitchen by the eating area that let in more light. But my mom had the porch enclosed, so that window now looks out onto nothing. What techniques could I use to brighten this dreary room inexpensively?

Some of my friends say it is cozy and warm. Some say paint it and brighten it up. It is not the traditional paneling with the grooves. It is a solid wood look, it think it is called library paneling. HELP!

I have two chairs that don't have arms, and then I was also thinking of redoing my couch and loveseat. But I don't want to pay to much for anything. And the chairs are a must.

Well I'm redoing my bedroom and I wanted to make it teenager and girly, but I have alot of dog collectibles.
I was thinking of painting it purple and have hot pinks and stuff mixed in. Wut do you think of doing it in a poodle theme, like have the walls purple and have poodles painted on the wall in hot pink. I could do the fluff on the poodle with sponge pianting and decorate in purples and pinks. I don't know, What do you think, any other ideas?
