You can hang sheer curtain from a rod over the vertical blinds. This gives you a lot options, while allowing you to use the curtain to cover up the blinds when you want to use them for more privac...

Would you consider making a throw for your dog to lie on made of similarly colored velvet? That way the couch will still look nice, but you can wash the throw. If you're not comfortable sewing, y...

Thanks for the recommendations! I've only tried Aura paint among the low VOC paints, and I've been very happy with its amazing coverage, fast drying time, and sheen. It comes in all the standard ...

Jenzroe, for the contact paper, search for "Metal FX Stainless Steel Contact Paper" on Amazon.com. If you can apply it to the black side of the panel, then you can have a white dishwasher now, and...

I really like the rectangular "Coffee Table / Mid-Century Modern for $300", but I can't buy it because I'm on the East Coast. Does anyone know where I can get something similar to this? An oval/c...

I agree with hazelnut that the 1/8" drywall is the way to go. You can put moulding on the edges to hide the seems, and put a square of moulding on the inside to look like a wood panel on the wall. ...

I agree with Austinjohn--paint it another color. Beige or light grey might be okay neutrals, depending on what the rest of your place looks like. Replace the hardware with satin nickel pulls or w...

What style do you want the room to be?

Pale yellow for the walls. If you want to do the southern France look, I would add some ceramic accessories in mustard yellow with splashes of burgundy, kelly green or cornflower blue to go with t...
