Decorating & Remodeling - November 2007

does anyone know how i should describe my decor taste? the best way for me to put it is: vintage tropical feel (unsure what era) w/ lots of off-white, pastels, and dark wood. i love the Kerne Erickson posters but don't want my home to look like a travel agency. i like for it to be classy yet laid-back and relaxed. any suggestions?

I need it for my dorm. They have these scente sticks that you put in oil/ or liquid and the scent fills the room.
We/ I stink badly and I really wanna get this for my dorm because we cant use candles (fire hazard) and glad plug-ins are too expensive. Do you have any sites you can list?

I know they exist, they are not incense! You dont have to burn them.

OK this is a stab in the dark. I need someone to draw up a some blueprints for me to build an apartment on my house for my Mom who is 76 we are looking at approx 600 sq feet. Mom is in good shape physically but Dad passed away just a month ago and I want to get her moved by me as soon as possible while she is still strong enough to make some decisons and strong enough to move.

Mom wants something simple a small bedroom with a bathroom accesibale to that and a closet to hang her clothes a very small kitchen and a dining and living room combo.

I would like to see the bathroom for a elderly lady because I know she will get there someday I hope I mean a stand up shower only with a seat built into it and all doors wide enough for a wheel chair.

I would not be asking for the help if I could afford just to slap down some money and have somebody do it. Mom is paying for her own building. I just don't want her to spend everything she has to to that

I'm about to fill the walls to my house with this new technology of insulation but i'm not sure how to do it, i already did my attic with it, they gave me the blower and did it all by myself, now i want to do my walls and, i watched a video where they were putting the product "wet" with some kind of glue so it can stick to the walls, but when i went to the home improvment store they didn't have that attachment, did anybody asked for the attachment? or the "professionals" use that, and i have to install the drywall, make holes and fill between studs?, the reason i'm asking is because it looked real easy to do, actually a lot better than making holes and doing it 1 by 1, anyone that can help, i would appreciate it. Thanks!
And yes, i'll be putting new drywall, the drywall is not up yet, i'm just asking to see if i should put the drywall and then the insulation or i can use the machine with the attachment and stick it to the walls and THEN the drywall, hope this is understandable enogh.

Well, since we are moving in to a new house my parent's are letting me re-do my whole room with my own money though (i saved up a lot). I wanna get a grey and pink bed set or a light yellow and pink bedset or a black and pink bed set.

I looked in google, target, and kmart and none of those bed-in-a-bags are fitting what i really want; can you help me out? since im gonna use my own money to buy other stuff for my room too i have a budget for the bed set... thats why i want a bed in a bag; i have a full size bed... budget: $80-150.

THANKS IN ADVANCE!

My current (Bedroom) door is old, and it hardly ever closes... The lining is falling off, and the door itself is in pretty bad shape. >_<

any good places for easy fix / new doors that are cheap and durable? And, i like privacy, like when I'm on the phone with friends.. So it'll have to be thick. [:

(Also, My cats scratch on the door to get in, thats why the door is so bad-looking. Any doors that are less likely to scratch, would help a lot)

Brands/Sites/StoreNames/Prices, Are greatly appreciated. [;

Hi, I have a raised ranch with cathedral ceilings in the living room, so my hallway, entryway, dining room and living room all are tied into one another. I need to paint and can't decide what color to go with. I have a light beige couch, but my fabric windowshade for a very large window is maroon and expensive to change so I want to work around that. I hate white, I want some color, but I think beige with the beige couch will be too blah. I also don't want the room to look small, any suggestions are welcome!

3 of my walls is a dark redish color & my one wall is a very pale yellow & I need some brightness in my room & I had an idea of a curtain of lights. The one strand goes along the part in between my wall & ceiling & than strings of lights hang down. I was thinking of putting some sheer unflammable fabric over it so it sparkles. I've looked everywhere on the web & can't find anything about it besides Christmas lights. If you know of where they sell it or if you have them, please please please let me know! thank you! :D

I am thinking about painting my apartment and doing an estimate for pricing. I am unsure if you are charged an additional fee when they actually color the paint. And if so if it's just a general cost or it varies with the color.

I am moving into a house and the walls really need to be painted but I'm having a lot of trouble deciding on a color. We have a black bookshelf and a black desk that is going in the living room that has silver hardware. We also have a couple black leather chairs. Our couches were given to us and they do not match so I was wanting to get some slip covers...but something besides black...but I don't know what color to get them in or what color to paint the walls. I want it all to flow nicely. Any suggestions?

ok so we are redoing parts of our bathroom due to water damage. here is what it does/will look like. the walls will be a light tan, floor tiles white with light tan specs, the tiles going halfway up the walls around the bathroom will be painted white., sink is white, counter top is white with light brown specs, toilet is white, medicine cabinet white, the only problem is as of now the bathtub is a light brown it is a cast iron tub in perfect condition. i want to leave it the way it is, my husband wants to replace it with a white tub. do you think a light brown tub would look good with white walls???
