Our basement is empty. It would be perfect for my room, but my parents dont think so. How do I get them to let me have my room down there? I really dont understand why they wont let me. So if you have any suggestions on how i can get them to let me have my room down there, it would be very much appreciated. Thanks.

I need some suggestions on picking a complimentary color here. For the main part of the house we really want to use a Sherwin Williams color called Ripe Olive, which is a very cool deep green color, and the trim is a creamy white color, we are looking for a complimentary color, other than another green, to paint the dormers on the house. None of the browns or silvers we tried looks good with the green, we even tried black.

On a side note our house is of hardy plank (stain is out) and a good size piece of land, our closet neighbor is about a mile away, and it is a heavily wooded area so we want to house to blend in as much as possible. I have included a link to the picture of the front of the house, the only changes we made to these plans is we removed the third garage on the left side, and the three small dormers above the front door, are actually one single large dormer that matches the pitch of the other two.

Ok, rebuilding the kitchen/living room after Katrina. Medium brown wooden floors in kitchen, light wood cabinets, black counter tops, white molding. The kitchen is melted within the living room which has brown carpet and new furniture which we have yet to pick....what color should I paint the walls??? I just tried dark grey and I love the color but I don't think it matches the wood color...

A friend of mine is blind and soon moving into her own flat for the very first time. She has plenty of tools to assist her in her daily tasks, she does NOT need more of those. She is just looking for some creative ideas on decorating her new place.

Framed pictures and color schemes are obviously out!

Any suggestions?
