Soon my bedroom will be fixed, there will be new carpet, I will get two wardrobes, a new T.V stand with cupboard plus a new king size bed, my walls will be painted into cream colour and my two wardrobes will be white and all of my toys and clays will be thrown out.

P.S I'm 14 years old ;) and mature so please no toys, child's things.

Ok my floors were just completed and they turned out great. They are red pine. My question is I like the butcher block countertops but will that be too much wood in the kitchen? Any suggestion on cabinet color and countertop color that will look best with the floors? The appliances are stainless. Thanks for the help.

We just moved into a new apartment and now we have cable tv cords along several walls. What's the best way to hide them, or make it look cleaner? We would prefer a method that does not require putting holes in the wall to anchor them down.

In my room, three of my walls are a green color, but one is a bit darker than the others (Temptation and Fresh Pear from the Valspar paints) should I go with lighter one or the darker color? I was thinking of using just regular fabrics, not real drapes. Thank you so much for your help!

Well I bought some sheet sets today at Target and I tend to be in a comfort zone there that I didn't spend like at Macy's and yet I didn't go to something cheap like Family Dollar. So I was wondering though if they were of good quality and last.

We've replaced the standard builder grade carpet in the living room, dining room and hallways with mid-priced red oak floors. About 400 sq ft total.
I'm contemplating replacing the carpet in the bedrooms and the flooring in both bathrooms & kitchen. Is it going to be worth the investment?
Does anyone who has replaced the flooring in their home know about how much that's increased the value?

Winter is coming and my big lab has a dog house, but I dont want him out there in the Illinois winter. I cannot put him in the house because he is so destructive. Its not a good idea.
I though about building a pre designed garden shed with windows from a manufacturer, and putting him in there, but again, he chews and would destruct the shed, so now I think I will just put a doggie door in the back of the garage. How much do you think it would cost? Whats involved? I want a door that swings like saloon doors or something that.
Any ideas to help me decide what to do?

Me and my husband are kind of lost here.We want to give our children lots of things where they won't be bored but we don't want them to start thinking they can get whatever they want whenever they want.My hubby just got a new job,which is why we moved.It has a heck of a lot better pay and we can get our children the things we always wanted.We have a basement type thing which we are going to use as a play room.Things like the computers and a television are already down there.But we want to have things down there so when friends come over or its a rainy day they will have things to do.What are some good things children ages 3-10 would like?I've tried asking them but they all just say I don't know except Conner who says ping pong table!
