Decorating & Remodeling - November 2007

Back in the day, they used to have medicine cabinets with a slot for used razor blades in the back...where do those used blades end up when you stick one in there?

We had a new house built and it is all white and I am dying to paint, but Im so nervous and cant seem to find the perfect colors! Im thinking maybe an lovely earthy yellow and some dark plummy colors, but im not sure. I love rich colors (jewel tones especially!), but I also dont want all the walls to be dark. The whole first floor is very open, so Im thinking it may be best to use a lighter color all over and accents in darker ones, I dont know!?! Any help would be great! The house is pretty large and we dont have everything to fill it up yet so I'd like to at least have some actual color on the walls. This is a link to pictures of the first floor of my house and my kitchen, and farther down the page is a picture of me holding a dog on a couch and that is the color of our couch and chair, and our wood furniture (table etc) is as dark or darker than the kitchen cabinets. Thank you so much for your help in advance!

I have a very light grey brick ranch-style house. There is very little wood...just the underpart of the roof that sticks out and some wood trim that is underneath my picture window. However, I do not like the color of the wood, which is a slate blue/grey. It's kind of boring, but I don't know what other color I should use that will match the light grey color of the brick. I don't want anything too wild...just something more interesting. Any ideas?

I have an Whirlpool washer model # WFW8300SW and a Whirlpool dryer model # WED8300SW... Can these be stackable? Can you put one on top of the other without messing the other one up?

I just spent the past few days Putting up holiday decorations. I have a REALLY big house so its hard to decorate it. (Roof and top floor is hannukah, two floors are christmas, The bottom floor and front yard just wintery like snow flakes and snow men. I have to questions, One is I bought these lights and i spent hours on a cherry lift putting the lights up and i tested them before and they turned on up to halfway then stopped. I waited a second and they turned on so i figured if I had the problem when I put them up I would wait a second and they would turn on. I put them up and I had the same problem. I figured I'd go do something else for a while and come back. I cam back and they were off. I jiggled it and twisted the bulbs and nothing worked. what should i do. and # 2 do you think i orginized my decorations good. Last year I just mixed everything and It looked tacky. Any way PLEASE answer.

The sofa and loveseat are elephant sage colored. The room is painted a very pale yellow. The furniture wood is dark walnut. The floors are light hardwood. What do I put on my coffee table? Send pictures of coffee tables with stuff on them, not coffee table books on it, but decorated with stuff like big vases, or fake fruit, or whatever. Thanks in advance!!

I have an L shape house. I am doing a kitchen remodel. The living, dining and kitchen area is like a rectangular shape. I will have a peninsula 32 inches wide and 56 inches in lenghth. Fifteen of the 32 inches peninsula will overlap my dining room. The length will run parallel to my hallway. When I walk down the hallway I will see the peninsula 15 inches into the dining room area.

Is this odd? Is this a poor kitchen design?Will buyers not like this? I don't plan on selling this house for at least 8 - 10 years.

What color goes with dark blue?? my bathroom walls are dark blue and I can't seem to find the perfect color to match the walls. I was thinking yellow (mustard) for the towels and rug & chrome for the wastebasket and soap dispenser.
I also want to add color accents to the wall.

I am trying to remove a border from the top of my living room wall but it is not coming off easily.
Is there an easier way. I soaked it using hot hater and soap, let it set and tried to scrap/ peel it off. It comes off in small peices and there is a lot of little bits that won't come off.
Help!!
Am I missing an easier way?
Something i don't have to run out and buy because I want to get it done tonight after my daughter goes to bed in a few hours.
