I recently purchased a black furniture set including bed frame, computer desk, shelves and night stand. I am going for a mature, calm look. Nothing too colourful or crazy. I was thinking a calm tone of green. Help please!

I'm installing 6 recessed lights in my living room. I really would like to stay away from the parameter walls as much as possible. Once I get the wire to the first fixture and on the way to other fixtures...... can I cross the joists by simply creating a notch (where the ceiling drywall meets the joists) run my wire and cover with with nail plate and drywall? IS this up to code? I've seen it done to studs so why not to joists?

I stupidly bought a PosterPedic full size mattress at about 1000 dollars a few months ago. Now I want to upgrade to a queen size bed but I still have a few payments left on my other very expensive mattress. The only real reason I want to get rid of it is because it's just too small and king won't fit in my bedroom. What can I do with this used mattress? It's in perfect condition and I'll even throw in my canopy bed frame if I can find a way to get rid of in without losing too much money.

I am looking for a bell that I can mount on my back door- kind of like what you see in a lot of stores- just to let me know when it is being opened. I live around a good number of popular stores. Does anyone know where to find something like that? Thanks

I just bought a house. The previous owners painted the bathrooms, but didn't cover the tile where it meets the wall.

I scrubbed the walls and ceiling with bleach, and repainted the whole bathroom with mold resistant paint, which seems to be working with the kind I used on the ceiling, but not the walls. It keeps comming back on the walls. The bathroom has poor ventilation..there is a ceiling fan, but it seems like moisture still builds up on the walls and takes awile to evaporate. Any help would be great, I'm sick of scrubbing it, and don't want to get sick.

Im installing hardwood floor for the first time. I stripped the carpet and cushion and im down to the base boards now. However theres a section towards the end thats raised. Whats the best way to smooth it out so that the hardwood will look even during the install? Will a regular floor sander do the trick?

It has a sitting room, a bedroom, a kitchen, a bothroom and a small lobby of 8'x8'. I want to know if someone could help me how should I arrange my house's interior. Is there any booklet, or website which would help me?

I just rented a large one-room apartment. The room is a large rectangle. There is a full kitchen along one of the short walls.

There is a separate bathroom of course.

What can be used to divide up the room into a bedroom and living room?

It's not something that must be done. It just would be nice to separate it a little. All I can think of are a couple of those folding Japanese tri-folds.

Anything else that might work?

Thanks.

How much should I pay a seamstress hourly to sew my curtains. They are very plain curtains and it will be a straight sew. I have no idea and do not want to get jipped. Thank you

The ceiling does not need to be painted, but the windows and trim do. There would only be one painter and I am using a oil base primer and semi gloss paint Two walls have already been primed and the other two still need to be done. He wants to charge by the hour and says it would take about 8-10 hours. Doesnt seem right to me, if I have already started the work.

I'm building a new house and have to select paint colors for the rooms. The main floor has a family room, living room, dining room, kitchen, bathroom, and mud room. How do I select paint colors so that all rooms blend with one another?

We did it today and the storage under the bed is fantastic. But the cinder blocks look pretty ugly and I am afraid we will bump against them and hurt our feet. Do you have any good, easy, and cheap ideas how to make it look prettier?

I have from age 10, with the exceptions of 3 years in the Army and college dorms and roommates.

But I cook, clean, do my laundry (even iron) Now celebrating 50 years living alone. Only thing lacking is companionship. I'm working on that. But, I don't need a woman or anyone else to take care of me. I would very much like to take care of someone I love.

Also garden, paint houses, roof, electric, plumbing, auto repair, carpentry. So I have pretty complete household skills.

I am trying to make monogrammed pillowcases, where the monogram is in the very middle of the pillowcase. For this to work, I need to know the proper placement of the pillowcase hems on the bed. Do they hang off the edges or meet in the middle of the bed?
