I have an extra room I need to turn into a guest room. The walls are yellow, and the trim/closet doors are white. I have a nice blue/yellow bedspread that matches the wall, but I need add bedroom furniture (headboard, nightstand etc.). What color furniture should I use? (Wood – light, white or black OR maybe metal?)

I’d go with white, for either metal or wood. It will look nice and clean along with the white trim. If you choose to do a natural wood, I’d keep it light.

Remember, even though white will show dirt, dark colors show the DUST!

Just bought a house and there’s a bedroom at the end of the hallway. There’s space in the backyard for the bedroom to be expanded, but I would like to know an estimate of the cost to make it bigger. The bedroom is 8ft x 10ft and I want to expand it to by 5ft so that it becomes 13ft x 10ft. Thanks!

what is your roof material? Is the site flat? Are there utilities that have to be rerouted during this remodel? What is the exterior material of the home? Another thing to consider is that for the amount of work that would be required to expand the room 5 feet, you should consider expanding it further. Another a couple of feet will not cost that much more. You may even consider a bath for that room or a walk in closet.

I want to learn to do an acro trick and i need a mattress. I would do it outside but i cant bring the mattress outside. So now i need to do it inside my house. I need the wall for this trick. I need to know if a wall of the inside of my house is stronger then my bedroom door OR if my bedroom door is stronger than the wall in my house. I need to know asap, and because i want to practice without smashing a hole into my wall with my foot. Please answer. Thanks.

YOUR AN IDIOT. the Wall inside a house because its allot stronger

Right now my bedroom walls are white. It’s very boring. The bedroom itself is not real big and the carpet is cream. I have a maroon bedspread that I use in winter, and a cream one in the summer. Other than that, there is no other color to worry about matching. I want something soothing and calm, yet interesting to look at. The doors (including closest) and door frames will stay white. It’s an open canvas!
I forgot to mention this…I am going for minimal cost…basically a couple of gallons of paint and that’s it. So, no new bedspreads or other accessories. Also, right now I have semi-sheer curtains up that are a charcoal brown. Those can be switched with some cream ones I have in another room if necessary…whichever matches my new color.

Have you thought to use lilac, its a calming color, that can be mixed with others, as the seasons change. You can also just do the largest wall, leaving the others the same. The use of Ting-Ting (Chinese tall/thin reeds) in the corner of the wall which is painted. I think greens such as plants real/artificial do wonders.

I’m moving into a new apartment and the bedroom already has blue carpet. My bedroom furniture is a dark wood with black marble table tops and the headboard is black marble. How can I tie these together? What would be the best color for the walls?

play around with the Sherwin Williams color visualizer to find colors that you like. It is the best paint visualizer on the web, imho. I like how their color palette is laid out, I like that you can search by color family & color name, the "painted" rooms look the most realistic, and it suggests coordinating color schemes. You can literally spend hours:

I think a light gray like "worldly gray" (# 7043) would combine the blue & black really well. You could also add an area rug like one of these:

You can get color suggestions & they’ll photoshop them onto your room so that you can get an idea of what it will look like.

We have cleaned their room from top to bottom thinking that one of them brought food into the room and it rotted….But that’s not it. We even looked under the trailer looking for a dead animal and can’t seem to find anthing. It reiks of DEAD animal in the bedroom though and its making me sick…not to mention that i am pregnant and can’t stand smelly stenches. I have febreezed the room and its so powerful that its overpowering the febreeze. Does anyone know what could be the problem? Thanks in Advance.
We do have mice that we hear chewing on things. I never thought that a mouse could cause such a stench though…I would think maybe a cat….but not a mouse. I am so glad we’re moving soon.
ok my kids are not school aged kids. They are preschooler and toddler…the toddler is the only one who uses the sippy cup and I never put milk in it. Its only water. When she drinks milk its in the kitchen only.

did you perhaps have a hamster/mouse that ran away? or maybe do you have a mice problem?
maybe a rodent went into the ventilation system/vents in your kid’s room or around there, got stuck and/or died there and now is rotting in the vent…

that actually happened to a classmate back in high school, her hamster had broken from it’s cage and months later they had a stench coming from the vent and turned out the be the dead hamster rotting

yuck!

maybe also the smell could be enbedded in the carpet and/or curtains…?

i have a currently unfinished basement and bedroom. i am currently finishing the downstairs bedroom walls and carpet etc. what is the average worth i will gain from the house going from a 2bed 2 bath to a 3 bed 2 bath?

If it is a very good job , you can expect an increase of about 25,000.

I’m laying laminate flooring in the bedrooms and hallway. Should I choose one direction for all rooms and hallway and lay it down continuously from bedroom to hallway to bedroom. Or should it be layed down lengthwise in the hallway and perpendicular to the hallway boards in the bedrooms? and use a T-strip between the hallway boards and bedroom boards?

lay it down lengthwise in the hallway and perpendicular to the hallway boards in the bedrooms…that would be the best look

Have a new home and the master bedroom and bathroom are white. It has vaulted ceilings and it’s pretty big, but it’s too much white. What colors should I paint it? My downstairs is two tone tan color; very neutral. I have black furniture in the bedroom. I don’t want anything too contemporary… I’d prefer a soft, romantic look and am horrible with decorating. Thanks!
And should I paint the ceiling as well? It’s painted in my downstairs and looks nice.

I think a green like "majolica green" (# 0013) would look stunning with the black + it’s very peaceful & soothing.

oh, and I like it when the ceiling is painted something other than white – whether it’s the same shade as the wall color or something to complement it.

I had a leak from my shower into the adjacent bedroom recently. The shower leak is now well fixed, I have been told by the tradesmen. This was completed 3 weeks ago. The wall in the bedroom has been replastered and repainted within the last week. It still smells damp, and small bubbles are on the paint. Is it possible that this is residual water and the wall has not had a chance to dry properly? Or do we have an unfixed leak?

Sounds like they never gave your wall a chance to throughly dry. The outside in the room may have been dry but the inside where the joists are is still wet and the moisture wicked to the outside. You’ll need to open up the wall and let it dry out completely before sealing it back up. whoever did the wall reapir should do this for free since they’re the ones that messed it up by not ensuring the wall was dry before plaster and paint.
