Years ago dh paneled the bathroom with paneling that looked like tile. It is mostly white with some accents in the tiles. However we are in the process of trying to get the house ready to put on the market...and i feel that it needs to have the paneling removed and put a fresh coat of paint on...

I was checking my window well about 1/2 an hour ago and noticed in the top right corner bees were going in and out...mostly in. The beehive (which there most likely is one) is in the wall of my house. What should I do to get rid of them and make sure this problem doesn't continue? Thanks in...

Has anyone ever done this? My son wants a lodge/hunting cabin kind of feel in his room redo. Schools almost over and for Christmas he received new curtains, sheets, a fleece blanket, and a few pieces of rustic decor for his upcoming Summer room redo. He expressed the desire for faux wood grain...

I've only lived here...oh...7.5 years, and I have 1 picture on the wall. This weekend I was in the Rockies and we took some gorgeous scenic pictures, so I'm going to develop a few and see how the turn out, and will decide on doing a collection of mountain pictures. I have a black frame with...

Ok so I have been wanting to repaint and wallpaper my craft room, and now I am not sure which color to paint the walls. I do get OK sunlight from the one window but I dont want a dark color at all, the other window on the other side of the room is a bit bigger than the one in the picture BUT...

I have tried ammonia, degreasers, scrubbing, nothing takes the oily stuff or stains off of the kitchen walls. They used to be white. The people who were here before us smoked, fried food, and I don't know what all. They never cleaned the walls. I have gotten the nicotine yellow off, but I...

I want to put a design wall in my basement quilting/sewing/art studio. I am currently using a flannel sheet tacked to the wall. Sometimes the quilt pieces stick to it and sometimes not. Seems the bigger they are, the less they stick. I've heard felt over insulation board is a good design...

Smoke or Dust Stains On Walls Some stains just happen - you didn't drop or spill anything but there it is. Maybe you decided to move furniture around which involves hanging pictures in a different location. You take one down and find the wall around it is so stained that you can see where the...

We're going to paint our bedroom walls, and I don't know what I want. We have beige carpet, dark cherry furniture, and a comforter that is beige with light purple, terra cotta, and gray in the pattern. I've thought of a sandy color, but I'm not sure if I want it that neutral. Anybody have a...

and now I'm down to my last coat of white on the trim.....woo hoo! I can't wait to be done with it! I did this bedroom as my first texturing project. I wasn't ever really happy with the way it turned out and as time went along and I did more rooms (hence got much better at it) I wanted to re-do...

I have been thinking of redoing my living room, our house is provided by Matthew's boss, but we are allowed to make changes if it is for the better. About two yrs ago, I helped a friend do her living room in Craft paper. Yes.....that brown stuff. You tear the craft paper into decent size...

I'm so excited!   When we went out to the house site on Friday, they had sealed the cement floors and put in the subflooring.  We figured it would be another week or so before we saw any changes-- well, surprise, surprise, I took my sister out to the site when she was here on Sunday, and we have...

We are basically starting over in the picture department. I don't have much on the walls at all. I have only a few pieces of framed art, pictures of the kids, some floral items, a mirror, and a couple of sconces. I'm hoping to slowly add some pictures and wall art that I love in the next few...

I have yet to find something to clean my walls the way I want. Usually I'm left with streaks where the cleaner didn't finish the job. I'm looking for a good wall cleaner. I have semi-gloss paint on my walls. It doesn't necessarily have to be homemade. Help! I want clean walls for...
