I would like to use the fireplace to help heat my small home so I don't have to run the furnace as much throughout the winter months. I have read that a fireplace is not an efficent source of heat. Can anything make it more efficent?

Im using usg plus 3 lightweight joint compound, when i used it on my wall for the first coat after it dried it cracked everywhere like spiderwebs running through it. It also had alot of airbubbles i beleive to be caused by me mixing the compound in the mud pan after i pulled it from the bucket. Any help?

How much do you think I should charge?
Should it be by room or by hour or what?

I am halfway through decorating my bathroom, and I have white tiles around the bath and up to the shower etc.; with a grey mosaic border. I intend to have a slate grey floor, and I need to decide what colour to paint the other half of the bathroom that would go with it all. So just looking for ideas.

We have a small bathroom, and I am thinking about putting a chair rail (horizontally of course, in the middle area of wall, like normal ones) in the bathroom. Would this make it appear larger?

I want to make it seem bigger without getting rid of anything. We don't have a basement or attic to put anything in. My bedroom is only a little bigger than my grandmother's walk-in closet.

My furniture:

Twin bed
Nightstand
CD rack (the size of a small bookshelf)
Desk
Stool
2 filing cabinets
Dresser
Table (where I keep schoolbooks and stuff)
2 bookshelves
Kitty litterbox
Chair

The room is really tiny... There is no closet (so there are clothes all over the place), and slanted ceilings make it so I can't have shelves. I also have lots of boxes stacked all over the place full of random stuff with no home.

I need some attractive storage solutions that won't make my room look any smaller. You name it, I've got it, and need to find a place for it. I know it sounds like I need to get rid of some stuff, but I really use almost everything I have.

I have lived here for 7 years, but I am fed up with the mess and the fact that I don't have enough space.

PLEASE help!!

If so where did you go to purchase the items needed and can you efectivaly use Beeswax and put a nice scent into it. Also if you could tell me what scents smell the best, that would also be helpful. Thanks Again, D.

my theme this christmas for my tree is a white christmas, so I'm looking for glass/sparkly/intricate/delicate/beautiful (you get the point) ornaments, wreaths, ribbon, decoration of any sort for christmas. Preferrably gold and white, if it has another color, thats fine, as long as its minimal. Please provide pictures/links. Price doesnt matter

I have kitchen cabinet doors and drawers and want to add the correct size knobs and drawer pulls. How does one determine the correct size of such items for the kitchen ? Not all doors and drawers are the same size, of course.

We are going to purchase hardwood floors this winter. We are also going to purchase new furniture. Are the woods supposed to match between the floors and furniture (same color)? Your thoughts...
