Open Question: What's the easiest/cheapest way to change the color of our bathroom grout?We had light colored tile put in with light grout years ago. Now the tile still looks great and despite our best efforts the grout is an uneven dark grey. We've scrubbed it with everything out there and even sealed it after scrubbing a couple of times. We recently re-painted the bathroom in dark browns and tans and want the grout to be dark brown to match. I've seen similar and like the look. I know there is grout stain, but don't know how to use it. Any help would be appreciated. We just finished every other thing that we wanted to do in that room. This last step has us scared.

Yes, occasioanlly I'll have parties and she complains of being woken up from time to time. I live in the upstairs room now.

Open Question: Would you offer critique on my paper on design?This is the beginning of a paper for school, I am to describe what influenced me to pursue the career I am pursuing and since starting school if I am still confident that I chose the right career. This is a rough rough draft, just looking for some opinions so far (I feel like it has no rhythm as of now...) The beats of hammers on a piece of wood and the crack of a bat to a ball are two sounds that will always take me back to my childhood. My father was a sales representative for a lumber company by day, and the founder of a baseball organization by night. It was almost inevitable that I grow up with a passion for one of the two. The baseball fields never did much for me. Unless there was a wooded area nearby, there was not much to explore and no place to wander. Empty half built houses, on the other hand, were full of imaginary wonders. When I was very young, I would create worlds inside these houses and with each new house that my father was overseeing, there was a new adventure as well. As I got older, I became more curious about the structure itself. I wanted to know everything. I wanted to know how it was being built, what was holding the roof up, how the staircase was installed. Fortunately, I had formed a relationship with some of the workers over the years, and a lot of them took the time to answer my questions and explain things to me. My inquisitiveness about the structure itself soon turned into wanting to know more about the interior. How would the family use this space? Why the architect designed specific rooms to be adjacent to certain other rooms and why some rooms were spaced further apart. When not at the construction sites, studying the blueprints my father would bring home with him became another favorite thing to do. I started becoming familiar with floor plans and eventually began trying to draw my own (though, with only graph paper and little knowledge of drafting, they were never to scale and only understood by me.) Now that I am school and learning the ins and outs of the design field, I am even more confident that I have chosen the right path. I struggled for a long time to choose one of my many passions to pursue as a career. I went back and forth for a very long time between Creative Writing, Photography, and Interior Design. I was very confused and put off returning to school for a long time because of my indecision. One day I realized, my poetry is always inspired by one of three things: architecture, humanity, and nature. My photography is also the same way, I do not find joy in posing people for portraits but leave me alone in a city for a day and I will return with a camera full of photos of people on the streets surrounded by beautiful architecture and natural wonders. Architecture, Humanity, and Nature. How could I possibly combine the three things that inspire me the most into one daily profession? Design is important to every aspect of our lives. A home's functionality defines how the people in it live. By choosing sustainable products to use within the design, I can help protect our planet. Architecture, humanity, and nature are all closely interconnected and effect each other in intimate ways. As a designer, I can influence how they effect one another.

Open Question: Help identifying a pier 1 table?!?!?I was given a Pier 1 Imports coffee/cocktail table (Asian style) as a gift several years ago. It is very small, too small for my new house but I like it. I'd like to find one of the same table to go next to it like bunching tables but it is no longer sold at Pier 1. There are no identifying model #s or collection names on it, just a tag that says exclusively for Pier 1 and a date of 10.09.02. I have contacted Pier 1 but they seem less than interested. If anyone is familiar with Pier 1 collections and is willing to take a look at a pic please let me know. Any other advice as far as a method of tracking one down or if anyone can direct me to a resource it is much appreciated as well. Thank you!!! Open Question: How Do You Make The Scented Water/Oil that goes in the container with the bamboo sticks?I have bottles that have the bamboo sticks that you flip over to get the fragrance in your room . The liquid has evaporated and thought I would make up some new if I knew how. Any ideas would be helpful. I have Essential oils Open Question: Do I need to use a sealant on grouted floor?I have just regrouted my floor and after a few hours I mopped it clean. When i run my finger over the grout though, some of it still comes off. The grout is for the floor and is waterproof. Do I need to use some sort of sealant? Or do I just need to wipe away this residue grout? thanks Open Question: Need Compact Comfy Chairs?I am setting up a corner seating area to view tv in my master bedrm, for husband and I, so the seating needs to be for adults. Using the bed gives us stiff necks and prompts immediate snoring from husband so I need something upright and attractive and not oversize. Wicker is attractive but isnt squishy enough. Any ideas. The TV is going in the corner with a nice accent rug to set two seats on, just need two seats that we will use and not just avoid because of discomfort. More Recent Articles |
