Any shade of beige, from a light cream to a dark tan would be great. The sink looks like kind of a sage tone, so if you want a lot of color, terra-cotta would work. Chocolate brown might be too d...
Paint the bricks white and then make a mantel out of a thick, heavy old beam, left unstained and unpainted. If you could add a couple of rustic looking pegs to the front pieces near the ends, it wo...
I LOVE Natures Miracle. I would recommend it to anyone. We had carpeting that had cat pee stains all over it. We put Natures Miracle in a steam cleaner and went over the carpet several times and ...
I agree with several of the previous posters. If you plan on staying there for a long time, do what you want. If resale value is important for the near future, then get rid of that ugly backsplas...
Since you need the chairs for Easter, my advice is to go to WalMart or Target and buy covers for them. Last time I checked, they were under $10 each, look decent and will get you through the day.
If you want to make it look more like a chandelier, maybe you could buy some of those pendant lights that screw into light bulb sockets. The Home Depot has a selection and I'm sure if you check ar...
We get rid of ants by mixing 2 TB boric acid (borax), 2 TB of honey (or brown sugar), and 1/2 cup of water. The sweetness attracts the ants, the borax and water will kill them. We put it in a shal...
I have an almost identical bench that belonged to my grandmother and is between 75 and 80 years old. I reglued ad refinished the bench in a nice walnut stain and when I took the ugly pink fabric of...
We found an empty Doelger's beer can from the early 1930s when we were digging out part of our basement. We also found a rusted out milk can(which I plant flowers in) and a sign with the name the ...
I had roller ball rings and they flipped upside down all the time. They were such a pain that I just went to WalMart and bought large round shower curtain rings. They're a perfect circle, so no m...
I definitely would not recommend any of the under $100 machines found in Target or WalMart. They are not well made at all. Definitely check out Zigzaggers, and then look on Craig's List or the new...
Personally, I would go to the Home Depot, buy some wall shelf brackets and shelves, and then build a simple wood frame to go around them, attaching it to the wall also. We have a VERY small room i...
When I was a teenager, we used to make wreaths sort of like that, but we used a wooden skewer or a knitting needle and poked the fabric into the foam. With the wreath shown, it's been my experienc...
You could wire them onto a wreath, or poke a skewer in to them and use them in a centerpiece with pine cones, or dry them out (some of them dry beautifully) and then paint them, or cut them and use...
I would either go to a flea market and buy some window shutters, or put up lattice trellises between the windows. There would at least be something to not make it look so barren. Maybe some pine br...
Don't paint the brick. It will look awful. Brick is a "crud-catcher" and it will attract grease and dust and splatters of stuff that will be hard to clean off. Either do it right and remove it (e...
Well, coming at it from the angle of the remodeling contractor (my husband), business is down a bit. People want to wait to see what the economy does before they make any commitments to home impro...
We went to the Home Depot and bought 2 lengths of 1" copper pipe and a copper joiner piece and connected them in the middle. It works well and looks very stylish with the nice patina it's developi...

What about making it a nice dining area?

What about a wire basket? Check flea markets and yard sales or even discount stores for them.
