“Madam If I could not clean this up with the use of this new powerful vacuum cleaner.

Paint Colors???

Any suggestions for a paint color scheme for a living room that runs right into a kitchen? I want to repaint the living room walls and kitchen walls/cabinets with a neutral color scheme. I’m about to put the house up for sale and I don’t want any colors that are too dramatic. The living room has beige berber carpet, brown sofa/chairs…the kitchen has beige floor tile/dark blue countertops and white cabinets. Any suggestions would be appreciated. Thanks.

Help, I’m So Stressed And Worried About My Kids?

Ever since I had my 2 daughters, 3 yrs old and 9 months old, I worry about everything. I don’t know how to relax. My latest worry is that we had new carpet installed in our living room and I had no idea that it is really bad for our health. Apparently there is formaldehyde in the carpet and it ‘off gases’ into the air. I’ve heard that it can do this for a long time, like months or even years. So I’m exposing my babies to this crap? I don’t know what to do…my husband told me to calm down and it’s not going to hurt them but I’m worried. We didn’t buy a high quality carpet…just something on sale at a carpet warehouse. What should we do? I can’t just up and move, but I’m so stressed out about this. I’ve heard it can cause long term damage…any advice? Will this carpet really harm my girls?

Can Anyone Offer Some Carpet Cleaning Advice?

One of my friends just bought a house. She just noticed that there’s a stain on the living room carpet. Well, we’ve both tried to clean it with various cleaners and solutions. But the damned thing won’t come out. It looks like it might have been caused by someone stepping into something (mud or poop, maybe?), stepping on the carpet, and then not trying to clean it until it was too late to easily remove it.
Any advice?

Help With A Math Question?

Carpet is typically measured in square yards.
(a) If the carpet you want costs $12 per square yard, how much does it cost per square foot?
(b) The local carpet shop is running a sale on the padding placed underneath the carpet. For this week only, the padding is $0.25 per square foot. Your living room measures 100 feet by 4 yards. With the carpet mentioned in Part (a), how much will it cost to pad and carpet your living room floor?

Can A Builder Enter A Home After Sale And Rip Out Carpeting W/o Permission?

I just closed on a home in a new subdivision a week ago. At the time of close, a bedroom and living room were carpeted although I paid for tile upgrades. After the keys were turned over to me and after the close of escrow, I signed a doc saying no entry without my presence and I documented the flooring discrepancy. I returned to my new home today and the carpeting had been ripped out and replaced with tiles and damage to walls and baseboards. Is this a criminal violation? state=CA

What Color Wall Paint Goes With Brown Furniture, Golden Brown Carpet And Burnished Gold Metal Wall Art?

I just bought a new chocolate brown microsuede sofa and love seat in dark cappuccino wood. The carpet in the house is golden brown. And I found this beautiful burnished gold metal wall art at an estate sale last weekend.
I am planning on painting my living room.
But I cannot paint it in reds or dark colors since the room is not very large. And I don’t want the room to be too brown. So what is the best color that would bring out the best in my new furniture and wall art? Would a neutral color work? How about a color like Sherwin Williams ‘Frangipane’ (http://www.buyaurapaint.com/sw-6645.html)?
Thanks

Will You Look At My Details And Tell Me If The Repairs To This House Are Worth It?

Not so bad things:
Kitchen will need new cabinets, or just sanded and refinished
Needs new carpet, 1000 sq ft.. although it has hardwood
Bathroom will need to be updated, nothing stylish
Needs heating and cooling unit, my uncle owns a business in this
Needs a fresh coat of paint, Sears always has cans on sale for $10 that were “mess ups”.. I could eventually find some good stuff there
Questionable things I have no idea about:
A hole in the living room ceiling needs repaired. Someone stepped through it in the attic. Is this an easy fix? It seems that you could just patch it up with a new piece of drywall.
*I’m paying cash for this house, living in it for awhile and renting it out while I find the next project.
My uncle would sell me a heating/cooling unit for 1k, and it already has duct work.
Other uncle is a land surveyor/contractor.
Can I get through this alive and make $ eventually?
