Decorating & Remodeling - December 2007

I want my daughters room to be pink and purple but i am not sure if the idea I have for the painting is a good style move or bad. I want to paint two walls pink and the other two walls purple so that the walls that face each other are the same color. Thank you.

I am trying to find the name of the piece of antique furniture that looks like three barrow type chairs, all attched and placed in a curved line with two facing forward and one facing backward. Do you know the name? Please let me know if you do. I am trying to locate one in good condition, but don't know what to call it. As yahoo answers does not have a catagory for antiques, I have to put it in home and garden, so please don't write me and tell me it is in the wrong category, this is a close as it gets. Thanks for your help.

I'm planning in putting in a 10'x12' wood storage shed. I plan on having it bricked in at a later time to save money. What should the foundation be for the shed initially and how much should each part cost (storage shed, bicked in (with labor), concrete slab (if needed)). The other option is to have a 10'x12' building built instead. How much would that cost and which is easier to build and less costly.

Thank You for your help

i am trying to find the outdoor blue and white icicle christmas lights... we have been seeing them around everywhere for the last month but have not been able to find them in stores! we've checked target, wal-mart, home depot, and no one seems to know what we're talking about. they are not the typical icicle lights (the ones that just look like pieces of light string hanging)..these have an actual pointed piece of plastic at the bottom, and the whole thing flashes blue and white... please help!!!!!!

When neighbors left the apartment complex last year they gave me their 2 white plastic outdoor chairs. The chairs are nice and large and I'd like to save them. They had been sitting outdoors a while and a simple cleaning didn't work well so I bleached them clean. They stayed clean white for a while but since I've stored them indoors for several months they look blotchy yellow. Is there a product that can get them white again, or is there a plastic paint that will stick to the plastic that won't peel when sitting outdoors. I don't want to change the color, really, but the yellow blotches looks bad. Your comments are requested.

My Mother-In-Law owns a 60 year old House in New York which is in good structural & cosmetic condition with one exception.----- The House has hardwood floors which after years of use are badly in need of refinishing. I live across Country & am unable to help her other than trying to make arrangements for her neglected wood floors to be refinished. Her Health is such that I am trying to avoid having a contractor sand & refinish her wood floors. It has been suggested to me that I use a service like " sandfree.com " or have someone just put new flooring down over the old flooring ? I am open to any suggestions as to the best way to refinish her floors with the least amount of disruption to her ? I have been informed that a stripper & finish like sandfree.com can be applied in 1 day but I don't know whether these sand free finishes actually work ? Are there other Companies better or worse than sandfree.com with respect to quality, price, etc. ?? --Thanks

We are about to buy a new house and are wondering if anyone know some videos on teaching you how to do things like flooring, painting wall, that kind of stuff. I went to the local library, but it didn't have anything useful. Anyone know any names of videos or dvd on this topic?

Thx a lot!

Hi, I'm stuck. I'm interested in rich colors, and the shabby chic/utilitarian look. I love the casual and formal look together.
One of my problems is, is that I'd like to have a different color in every room. I realize, that to have connection throughout the home, at least requires the same colored baseboards, frames etc.

What colors would you, personally, use throughout your home in each of the rooms to get the clean shabby chic/utilitarian/ralph lauren look?

Also, what accent color would you use and what color would you do your baseboards or frames etc.?
