Decorating & Remodeling - October 2007

which can be used every day instead of a regular bed? I heard that 4 inch matresses are uncomfortable, and also, many of these convertables fall apart quickly if used daily.

I'm trying to buy a new dishwasher, but the salesman says I can only buy one that has side mounts because of the corian countertop (they won't drill into the counter). Is this true? If so, what kind of dishwasher allows for side mounting?

We just bought a sofa and there is an option of $150 fabric protection called "duraguard" or something similar, though it is NOT scothguard. It also comes with a 5 year scratch, tear, and stain warranty. If I can get scotchguard for $8 a can, is there really an added benfit to the product they want me to buy or are they trying to fatten their commission with an overpriced add-on?

I am going to paint a room in my home to be use for reloading and building arrows. I have no idea what colors to use for my little hobby room. I plan to hang a couple of mounts of deer and antelope. I'd also like to hang a flat screen tv and have a nice chair to sit in. The room is a 10x12 spare bedroom...

Can anyone recommend a color scheme or point me to some nice colors on a web site? I could appreciate the help since I am not color coordinated.

thanks!

I just bought a new duvet from Anthropologie...here it is for a visual reference..http://www.anthropologie.com/anthro/catalog/productdetail.jsp?_dyncharset=ISO-8859-1&_dynSessConf=8496938339592941809&id=79526&parentid=SLEEP_SALE_BEDDING&pushId=SLEEP_SALE_BEDDING&popId=SLEEP_SALE&sortProperties=&navCount=6&navAction=poppushpush&fromCategoryPage=true&selectedProductSize=&selectedProductSize1=&color=spu
Jeez that was long. Anyway, I was wanting a accent color...my style is a bit bohemian if that helps. The green is actually more of a forest green...which is why I'm having some trouble. Thanks in advance!

We applied the primer a few days ago and just applied the first coat last night and we are going to apply the 2nd coat tonight and the color is way too bright! The name of the color is "Like Butter" and on the swatch it appeared to be a softer yellow, not this bright!! So is there anything I can get to apply to the paint for this second coat to tone the bright yellow down?
I want a pale soft yellow, not a canary, hello sunshine yellow that I have now.
The paint is by Valspar (from Lowe's), and it's a latex paint.
If I don't receive accurate help I already know to call Lowe's (hardware store) for help and ideas of what can be done.
Thanks soooo much and have a great day!

I was planning on black roof, but I've seen a lot of yellowish houses with brown roofs and my neighbor house already has that color scheme (ivory and brown roof). I will be changing my shutters to match the roof color. Currently my shutters are white. I have white windows, trims and doors. Any suggestions and pics will be helpful! Thanks.

or this one with the matching loveseat http://www.raymourflanigan.com/catalog/details.asp?ID=9142


I'm so undecided on what to get. I'm thinking of going to Ethan Allen and getting one custom made but of course that will be a little more money.
