Hi everyone. I'm re decorating my kitchen & want to do a oriental, japenese theme/style, but also want to keep it quite modern. Does anyone know of any good websites for inspiration & for purchasing accessories etc. If there is anyone thats already done this style in their kitchen, any advice much appreciated. Thanks :-)

We have a 20+ year old house and want to do some updates. Several of the walls have wallpaper on them. With the exeception of one room that has grass paper (I know I have to remove that), I'd like to know if I can scrape off the areas that are lifting up (so there's no bubbles or gaps) and then paint over it instead of removing it. Has anyone ever done that with a lot of success... or with a complete flop? Any pro painters out there that have done this a lot? Or is it absolutely the wrong thing to do. I really need to figure this out so if you have direct experience, please let me know what happened.
Thanks!

I am just looking for some ideas. I have a fair size kitchen and at one end is a large pantry with an arch. Of course there are no doors on it, (removed by the previous owners). I keep a lot of junk and stuff in there but it looks unslightly. Can anyone think of what I could put on the archway to hide the mess, that doesn't look too tacky. ( I can't afford doors at the moment)

We are hoping to paint our oak cabinets antiqued black. We got a quote from a professional, but it seems expensive to me. I was wondering if anyone else has paid to have this done. Any ideas on the going rate? I have a "normal" sized kitchen with an island.

I like pink, but I don't want the color scheme to look too childish.

My parents are visiting from interstate next week, but we don't have a bed for them to sleep in. We have room to put a spare bed in, but we don't want to keep it set up.

Can you recommend a temporary bed that can be folded away/hidden/thrown out after use that they can reliably use for a few days? ie. one suggestion we had was an inflatable bed (I was warned they can puncture in the middle of the night).

Thanks a bunch!

I am just moving into a rental property and the carpet is not very attractive. I thought I could just cover it with a new carpet, but not fit it as it would be against the landlord's wishes. Someone has now told me that you can't place carpt over carpet as it will damage the old carpet and ruck. I can cope with the rucking (just about) but am really worried about damaging the old carpet as it's not mine. Can anyone help or advise?

I know I could remove the door and have it stripped professionally but it's not practical. I have come across laquer and varnish removers but can't find a wax stripper - so far!
Thanks!
