bhut jolokia help i think its in desperate need of some help
Comments (3)Let the soil dry out completely should be your first step. Next, how often, and what are you feeding it? How often do you water? Is that where the plant is always located? Spots are fusarium or some other fungal disease. I'd have to look it up, but I will need more info first. You don't have black rings. That is a good thing....See MoreIn desperate need of design help.

Comments (34)Grover's renderings are right on. It was the crunched chairs & side table killing your look. You need some breathing room, a grounding rug & a designer to come sweep through & balance. GL :)...See More18ft tall living room wall - Desperate Need of help with decor
Comments (10)How are the acoustics? It looks like a reverberating HELL to me. You need a rug and a lot of soft surfaces to absorb the noise, more substantial drapery for a start. The art in a picture posted above on canvas with a soft look, mostly canvas no glass, would help-a few of them!! The tall wall will disappear if you give eyes something lower to look at....See MoreI DESPERATELY NEED KITCHEN HELP
Comments (14)Congrats on your improved health! I agree with the idea of pacing yourself. So important. One idea in planning your space: reach out to someone who could help you visualize things with mockups. (You could also look into those paint colour visualizers on paint companies websites.) Another trick is to use sheets or poster boards to cover surfaces you're looking to change. Priming walls when you know you'll want a different colour is another idea along those lines. Have you set your budget? Very important to keep it in mind as you assess your options and timeline. Often, things can be done in stages. Btw, your space didn't give me a laugh in the least. Those windows look amazing. If this were my space, I'd probably keep the cabinets and wood trim as is (especially if you can change the cabinet doors to their Shaker side) and focus on lightening the space otherwise. Wood is trending again and painting oak cabinets isn't easy. My first priority would be to find effective window treatments for the sun because this can greatly impact one's comfort in the space not to mention energy costs. Window treatments can get pricey. Getting an onsite consultation with a window covering company can help to get ideas of options and cost. Looking at your space, this is what I'd do: -Remove all the stuff from above the cabinets. -Reassess cabinet storage and consider shelves or glass inserts to lighten uppers. I know you'll get advice to change your island because it's not a conventional shape but without being in the space, it's difficult to say if this is easily doable. -Make sure the lighting in the room is optimized. Could the kitchen benefit from under cabinet lighting, for example? Is the fan useful? -Replace the backsplash with a warm white tile and match the walls to this new tile. (Paint colour can be matched to anything so paint is chosen last.) -Consider using this backsplash tile for the fireplace surround. -Streamline the decor by removing everything off the mantel. Less can be more. A few large pieces on walls can have more decor impact than a bunch of small objects on horizontal surfaces. Good luck with your space transformation and all the best to you, health wise. Hope you keep us posted....See Moreleong2012
