Sage is in, but in my room & master bath I have a sort of tropical, bamboo thing going. I painted my rooms an olive green color. Sag Harbor by Waverly. Not too dark, very relaxing & it goes great with creams, browns, etc. If that's not your thing, then take a color you like of something in your room, such as the comforter & go with that. It'll make the room look put together. Or go to lowe's.com & use the virtual painter. I found the waverly there, they also have a designer palette called Seaside Retreat with alot ...(Answered by barbara m)

Consider darker, warm-toned panels - not full drapes, but panels. They don't close off space, but provide splashes of colour. If you paint what walls you can in a harmonious warm tone that should help. Also, consider painting the ceiling to match the walls, it will help the ceiling descend. If you can't replace the flooring and its dark, use a really bright and light floor rug it will ascend towards you, especially if it's warm-toned....(Answered by Kira P)

beige would be too boring and washed out, go with a light yellow, a buttercup kind of shade. I bet it would look really pretty and go perfect with a farmhouse!...(Answered by manda61905)

Q.
what is the current going price for granite/marble tile installation (average)?
I have been quoted various prices by installers in my area, but find the difference between them so stark that I cannot bring myself to trust the quotes. I have been quoted from 1.75 to 12.50 per square foot for the installation alone. I have about 3000 plus to get done (flooring and walls) in both granite and marble. Why is there so much difference in the quotes and what is the median price in your area for this service? ... (Asked by hkmp50)

I'm in mn and used to install. I think my boss charged about 3.50 for regular tile and around 5 for granite/marble. The cost difference could be any borders or designs your installing. Wall tile is usually more expensive also. Try finding a specialty store in your area that does not install but sells tile equipment or supplies. Ask them who they recommend. That will probably be your best bet for a nonbiased professional opinion....(Answered by Nemo)

What's the best way to clean anaglypta wallpaper?
I've just removed the border and found a stark difference between the colour of the exposed paper (grimey and discoloured) and the paper covered by the border. I've tried sugar soap and the difference is less noticeable but it is still there. The paint on the paper is gloss-like, not matte. ... (Asked by Haddock)

You can try fresh bread, but I don't thing anything will work. It is probably sun, grease, smoke, etc color change. Anaglypta paints really well!...(Answered by saaanen)

Ask the manufacturer. Go with their recommendation. I am not sure but even if it can be done, it would probably void the warranty on the countertop....(Answered by fancyname)
