3. What paint color is best to achieve a rustic farmhouse look?
"What color would you paint me? We have a brown house to the right, a salmon colored house, a green house to the left, another green house across the street, a purple house, a red house, a gray, and a purple house to the back of us. Just trying to give you specifics as to what is around us. I put all kinds of colors on but nothing seems to be screaming, "Pick me." I want something other than a green or brown. It needs to fit a farmhouse precedent. White is not a go." Answer here.

4. What reading lamp would look best in a contemporary den?
"OK, sorry y'all (Texan here). My design problem is what lamp could go with this upstairs den? The outlets in this house are very few and far between.

Answer here.

5. How can I enhance a geometric house exterior?

If anyone has suggestions & advice to give I would be very grateful. Thank you." Answer here.

"What do you do if you're renting, and your kitchen needs a good makeover? We're allowed to paint, but we can't do anything about the awful ceiling, the insanely bad layout, or the random peninsula that clearly came off the Starship Enterprise. Any thoughts for those of us who are renting and don't want to put too much money into a kitchen that isn't technically theirs? The same question goes for bathrooms, by the way. Is it worth it to change out toilets and sinks, just to know you'll be leaving a place eventually?" Answer here.
