I think it is a great idea. A rocker just had his LA pad done as an upscale Vegas hotel room, 1400 square feet, one room basically. LOVED IT. I am trying to do this now, but it require...

DO NOT PAINT! PLEASE! WHAT YOU HAVE CAN'T BE REPLACED. I don't want to yell, but it would be a sin to paint over such beauty. Rid your house of draperies. Use only white sheers to soft...

DON'T PAINT THE BRICKS. No good can come from that. Bricks have to breathe, or they crumble. (Stain if you want to try to change their color.) If you still don't like your fireplace, build over it ...

If you don't want to spend much money, replace the counter top. Formica has a genuine imitation black flecked marble that looks great. Or go with something that commentaries the fireplace, if it wi...

You could buy a beautiful arrangement of real flowers, which always makes a grand statement. Then how about telling your friend you want her advice on your apartment. It's always fun to browse with...

One thing to keep in mind. Some people go CRAZY for this stuff. We had a kitchen once with 56 cabinets and drawers of this so called 'pickled pine.' Personally I hate it, but when we sold the house...

I have to say this is frickin' brilliant. I would never have thought beige and orange would work. But the owner took the color of the beige tiles and painted everything else that colo...

OMG I can't believe you asked this question. My first apartment was in a prewar building, with formal living, formal dining, a back hall with phone nook, a kitchen with a back door, hi...

I redo the house about every 10 years. I am doing it now. Maxwell would be so proud. Room by room, emptied and professionally cleaned, painting as needed, and editing, editing, editing. The kitche...

wainscoting-I knew that.

My kitchen is 7' x 20'. The counters are in the middle with a foyer at one end and a sitting area at the other end. I am having it painted white. Every square inch. It is beginning to look like an ...

I am getting a service this year. The one I think I'll pick charges $140 for 2 people for 4 hours. Does that sound like a good price?

I have found a great way to save. In the media room, I have 12 electronic whatevers plugged into two electrical strips. It's easy to switch the strips off. Since I started doing that, it looks like...

These can be terribly dangerous. Deadly. That is why the stones are around the outer edge, so the foot knows the terrain has changed. A corner tub with a staircase surrounded by windo...

B. Moore has a black paint with flecks of metal in it. I have to constantly stir the paint to keep the particles in suspension. When it's dry, it looks like wrought iron. It can fool if the object ...

I want a warm, snugly bed with a soft headboard. I can see that headboard being down right dangerous, but to each his own.

I had one of these in my first apartment after college. If I remember correctly, I papered the back. Don't know why. I think I used cork. The nook was in the back hall between the bed...

Just get the new battery operated tooth brush. They are less than 7 dollars, and the replacements head are 2 dollars a piece. I got one on sale just to try it. I LOVE IT. And it is so...

This is beyond cool. And the execution is flawless. I agree. Gorgeous. The space must be really plum.

Don't paint the wood. Under any circumstances. Your landlord didn't give you permission to paint the wood did he, just the walls, right? Is there any cherry color in the ...
